Staking Rewards

VELA & esVELA can be staked to earn a share of fees as rewards. The rewards share is based on the total sum of VELA and esVELA that is staked.

  1. 1.
    Receive discounted trading fees as per the fee discount table
  2. 2.

Reward Cycle 0 will pay out a fixed amount of esVELA rewards for VELA & esVELA stakers.

Vesting $esVELA

Your $esVELA can be deposited into the vesting contract in order to claim the same amount of $VELA which is unlocked continuously throughout a 6 months linear vesting period. $esVELA that is staked for vesting cannot earn rewards. Note: If any amount of $VELA is claimed or any amount of esVELA added to the vesting contract, it'll reset the vesting period.
All vested $esVELA rewards are provided by the $VELA buyback model.

TokenFarm

The TokenFarm contract has a hard coded max limit for staking cooldown duration of 4 weeks and a max vesting duration for $esVELA of 700 days.
