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 - Fee Discounts on any limit orders on spot markets. (coming soon)

DCA Discounts - Fee Discounts on any DCA type orders on spot market. (coming soon)

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.

^{_{*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.}}
