Tiered Staking: Scaled Fee Reductions

Tiered Staking accounts for your historical trading volume  -  letting you unlock better fee tiers faster and for longer.

The more EDGE you stake, the longer your historical volume lookback window.

Staked EDGE Amount	Lookback Window
2,000 $EDGE	30 days
20,000 $EDGE	60 days
200,000 $EDGE	90 days
2,000,000 $EDGE	120 days
10,000,000 $EDGE	180 days

For example, if you traded $500K per month for the past 2 months on Definitive,

• Staking 20K EDGE would immediately move you from Tier 4 to Tier 3 by extending the volume lookback window to 60 days.

• On every $100K trade, you’d save $100 on trading fees by staking 20K EDGE — moving you from the Tier 4 Standard to Tier 3 Staked Fee Tier. This saves you 40–50% in trading fees on every trade.

7 Day Cool-down Period

There is a 7-day cooldown period that starts whenever you unstake $EDGE. You won’t be able to trade or withdraw the unstaked $EDGE during this cooldown.

If you unstake additional $EDGE during an active 7-day cooldown, it will reset a new 7-day cooldown for the full amount being unstaked.

Example: You unstake 100 $EDGE on Monday, triggering a 7-day cooldown. On Tuesday, you unstake an additional 200 $EDGE. The cooldown resets on Tuesday and now applies to the full 300 $EDGE.

After the 7-day cooldown ends, your unstaked $EDGE will automatically return to the same portfolio you originally unstaked from.
