5. Earning Mechanisms

VEX Protocol creates a sustainable ecosystem where all participants—developers, players, and investors—are rewarded for their contribution to the network's growth. Unlike traditional P2E models that rely on inflationary token printing, VEX utilizes a Real Yield model generated from protocol revenue.

1. Infrastructure-to-Earn (for Developers)

Game studios integrating VEX SDK don't just pay fees; they earn them.

• Transaction Rebates: Developers receive 30% of all transaction fees generated by their games.
• Integration Grants: New games with high potential are awarded VEX grants to subsidize initial user acquisition.
• Volume Milestones: Games hitting monthly volume targets (e.g., $1M+ transaction volume) unlock bonus VEX allocations.

2. Liquidity Mining (for Investors)

Liquidity is the backbone of the VEX ecosystem. Providers are rewarded for ensuring deep market depth.

• VEX/USDC & VEX/ETH Pools: Stakers earn a dynamic APY (ranging from 10% to 40%) paid in VEX.
• Lock-Multipliers: Users who lock their liquidity for longer periods (3, 6, 12 months) receive up to 3x reward multipliers.
• Protocol Fee Sharing: Stakers of the governance token (veVEX) receive a direct share of the protocol's USDC revenue, not just inflationary rewards.

3. Play-and-Earn (for Gamers)

While VEX is an infrastructure token, it directly rewards end-users.

• Universal Battle Pass: A cross-game battle pass where completing quests in any VEX-powered game earns VEX tokens.
• Tournament Prizing: VEX sponsors automated tournaments across partner games with guaranteed prize pools.
• Asset Trading: Players earn royalty rewards when they trade rare NFT assets on the VEX marketplace.
