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 Rewardsarrow-up-right tab within Definitive. Starting 3/16/26 - a minimum of $200 in staked EDGE qualifies you for rewards.

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 EDGEarrow-up-right tab. Your EDGE balance from any Portfolios can be staked - without requiring transfers from an external wallet.

Unified fee tiers across the entire Definitive platform

As part of our tokenomics revamp - we’ve simplified our fee structure to make it easier for traders to understand.

Trading any other asset starts at 85 bps, lowers to 70 bps with staking, and decreases based on volume.

Our any-to-any swap routing means you pay 2x+ less vs other platforms which require multiple trades.

Staking a minimum of $200 in EDGE immediately unlocks lower fees - rewarding all active traders on Definitive.

This will take effect starting March 16, 2026.
