6. Investor Incentive Strategies
To ensure the long-term stability and growth of the ELDR 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 ELDR staked during periods of high volatility.
- Dynamic APY: When sell pressure increases, staking APY automatically increases to incentivize holding.
- Loyalty Bonuses: Wallets that hold ELDR for >1 year without selling receive special ELDR Coin Airdrops and bonus multipliers on their staking yields.
2. Tiered Staking System
Staking ELDR unlocks infrastructure tiers, creating utility demand beyond just speculation.
| Tier | Requirement | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Scout | 1,000 ELDR | Basic voting rights, 5% trading fee discount |
| Guardian | 10,000 ELDR | 2x Voting power, 15% fee discount, Beta game access |
| Vanguard | 50,000 ELDR | 5x Voting power, 30% fee discount, Seed round allocation rights |
| Commander | 250,000 ELDR | Governance Council seat, Zero trading fees, Revenue share eligibility |
3. Buyback and Make
The protocol uses 20% of its monthly revenue to buy back ELDR 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.
