# Staking: Fee Discounts

## How It Works

Stake $AVNT here: <https://foundation.avantisfi.com/staking>

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.

### 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.

### 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
