Staking: Fee Discounts

Save on trading fees by staking AVNT tokens. The more you stake and trade, the higher your discount tier.

How It Works

Staking fee discounts reward active traders who also stake AVNT tokens. Your discount tier is determined by two factors:

1. AVNT Staked — The amount of AVNT tokens you've staked.

2. 30-Day Trading Volume — Your rolling 30-day trading volume (Fixed Fee or Zero-Fee Plus)

Both requirements must be met to unlock a tier. AVNT staking unlocks your eligibility, and trading volume activates your discount.

Discount Tiers

Tier	$AVNT Staked	30D Fixed-Fee Vol	30D Zero-Fee Vol	Fixed-Fee Discount	Zero-Fee Discount
1	500	$150,000	$500,000	5%	2.5%
2	2,500	$500,000	$2,000,000	10%	5%
3	10,000	$1,500,000	$6,000,000	15%	10%
4	50,000	$5,000,000	$20,000,000	20%	20%
5	250,000	$30,000,000	$100,000,000	30%	25%

Understanding Your Tier

Your tier is calculated as the minimum of your AVNT tier and your volume tier:

Your Tier = MIN(AVNT Tier, Volume Tier)

Example 1: You stake 59,000 AVNT (Tier 4 eligible) but only have $1M in 30D volume (Tier 2 volume). Your effective tier is Tier 2.

Example 2: You have $30M in 30D volume (Tier 5 volume) but only stake 3,000 AVNT (Tier 2 eligible). Your effective tier is Tier 2.

This means staking AVNT unlocks your maximum possible tier, but you need the trading volume to activate it.

Volume Requirements

You can meet the volume requirement through either trading mode:

• Fixed Fee Volume: Standard trading with upfront fees

• Zero-Fee Perps (ZFP) Volume: Trading at 75x+ leverage with profit-sharing

You only need to meet one of the volume thresholds, not both. The system takes whichever is higher.

Under stats and insights

Rolling 30-Day Window

Your trading volume is calculated over a rolling 30-day period. This means:

• Volume from trades older than 30 days automatically drops off

• Your tier updates in real-time as volume changes

• Consistent trading maintains your tier

Grace Period

If your volume drops below your current tier's requirement, you have a 15-day grace period before downgrading. This gives you time to increase your trading activity without immediately losing your discount.

• Grace period: 15 days.

• During grace: You keep your current tier's discounts.

• After grace: You move to your newly calculated tier.

• Upgrades are instant (no waiting period).

Stacking with Referral Discounts

Staking discounts stack with referral discounts. If you have both:

Total Discount = Staking Discount + Referral Discount

Example: 20% staking discount + 5% referral discount = 25% total discount on fees.t

Maximizing Your Discounts

1. Stake enough AVNT to unlock your target tier

2. Trade consistently to maintain volume requirements

3. Use a referral code for additional stacking discounts

4. Monitor your 30D volume to avoid unexpected downgrades
