### <mark style="color:orange;">Tiered Staking: Scaled Fee Reductions</mark>

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.
