Buybacks and Rewards

The EDGE Rewards Flywheel benefits active traders and stakers who help grow the platform.

EDGE Buybacks

20% of all Definitive revenue is used for EDGE buybacks

Every week,

• 10% EDGE buybacks to reduce circulating supply (ongoing since Q4 of 2025)

• 10% EDGE buybacks re-distributed as staked EDGE to stakers and traders as rewards

The EDGE Rewards Flywheel directly benefits traders and active stakers within the ecosystem - powered fully by Definitive revenue.

Real product, real users, real utility.

Weekly Rewards

Every week, 10% of all Definitive revenue buys back EDGE and redistributes as rewards.

• 2.5% is distributed among all EDGE stakers proportionally.

• 7.5% is distributed among all EDGE stakers who trade, proportionally as a function of their volume.

All rewards are distributed as staked EDGE and powered through revenue and not emissions.

As an example:

Definitive generates $100,000 in total weekly revenue. $10,000 is used to buyback EDGE. $2,500 is distributed to stakers. $7,500 is distributed to stakers who trade. If you staked 1% of all staked EDGE, you would receive $25 that week. If you also traded 1% of all trading volume on Definitive, you would receive an additional $75, rewarding you a total of $100 that week as staked EDGE.

Your pending rewards, effective reward rate, and rewards history are displayed in the Rewards tab within Definitive. Starting 3/16/26 - a minimum of $200 in staked EDGE qualifies you for rewards.

EDGE Staking

In addition to receiving EDGE rewards, stakers also unlock lower trading fees - accelerating benefits for traders.

EDGE can now be staked directly from Definitive in the Stake EDGE tab. Your EDGE balance from any Portfolios can be staked - without requiring transfers from an external wallet.

As a reminder - unstaking EDGE has a 7-day cooldown period.
