6. Investor Incentive Strategies
To ensure the long-term stability and growth of the VEX token, we have implemented a series of strategic incentives designed to reward long-term holders and discourage short-term speculation.
1. The "Diamond Hand" Protocol
This algorithmic mechanism rewards holders who keep their VEX staked during periods of high volatility.
- Dynamic APY: When sell pressure increases, staking APY automatically increases to incentivize holding.
- Loyalty Bonuses: Wallets that hold VEX for >1 year without selling receive quarterly NFT airdrops that grant access to exclusive private sales of partner games.
2. Tiered Staking System
Staking VEX unlocks infrastructure tiers, creating utility demand beyond just speculation.
| Tier | Requirement | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Scout | 1,000 VEX | Basic voting rights, 5% trading fee discount |
| Guardian | 10,000 VEX | 2x Voting power, 15% fee discount, Beta game access |
| Vanguard | 50,000 VEX | 5x Voting power, 30% fee discount, Seed round allocation rights |
| Commander | 250,000 VEX | Governance Council seat, Zero trading fees, Revenue share eligibility |
3. Buyback and Make
The protocol uses 20% of its monthly revenue to buy back VEX tokens from the open market.
- 50% of bought tokens are distributed to the staking pool.
- 50% of bought tokens are allocated to the "Ecosystem Growth Fund" to finance new game integrations.
