EDGE Rewards Flywheel
20% of all Definitive Revenue is now directed towards EDGE Buybacks
Every week, EDGE stakers now receive rewards representing 10% of all Definitive protocol revenues.
In addition, 10% of all Definitive revenue has been directed towards ongoing EDGE buybacks since Q4 of 2025.
The EDGE Rewards Flywheel directly benefits traders and active stakers within the ecosystem - powered fully by Definitive revenue.
Real product, real users, real utility.

Rewards are backed by Revenue, NOT Emissions.
In total, 20% of Definitive revenue goes directly towards buybacks every week - with half rewarded directly to active traders and stakers as protocol distributions.
This means that 1 - every trade on Definitive directly contributes to EDGE rewards 2 - stakers directly earn distributions from protocol revenue 3 - staked traders receive even more benefits and participate in a greater share
Buybacks and distributions will increase as Definitive's revenues grow, expanding rewards for stakers and traders.
How the EDGE flywheel works
Each week - 10% of all Definitive revenue is used to buyback EDGE.
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.
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.
