# Reward, Utility & Governance Staking FAF unlocks rewards and utility on the platform. ### Rewards These rewards are the $FAF that you earn by staking your $FAF. The rewards come from the 9.6% of $FAF supply that is reserved for first year rewards. These rewards are distributed between the $FAF stakers at the end of each epoch using a combination of time weighted stake and a custom multiplier based on Voltage Points accrued. *** ### Utility The utility of $FAF on the platform depends on your VIP Level which is maintained by staking $FAF. The higher the amount of $FAF you have staked the higher will be your VIP level leading to higher utility and perks. These include: **Fee Discounts -** Gives you discount on the base fee on trading perpetuals.\* **Referral Rebates -** Gives you higher percentage of rebates from your referrals. **Rev Share** - Give 50% of the protocol revenue to FAF token stakers. **Spot LO Discounts - F**ee Discounts on any limit orders on spot markets. (coming soon) **DCA Discounts -** Fee Discounts on any DCA type orders on spot market. (coming soon)
{% hint style="danger" %} NOTE: Yield Booster mentioned above has been removed with the recent Futarchy governance proposal that passed. Yield Booster has now been converted to Rev Share for FAF stakers. {% endhint %} > **\*Fee discounts are limited to 50 trading interactions within a 24-hour rolling period. This includes opening/closing positions, take profit/stop loss orders, and limit orders. The system tracks your first discounted trade and monitors all subsequent interactions. Once you exceed 50 interactions within any 24-hour period, all fee discounts are forfeited until the next rolling 24-hour period resets.** *** ### Governance We’re embracing Futarchy, a governance model that uses prediction markets to guide decisions.
