Staking $GRAY

Users can stake $GRAY to earn a portion of platform earnings.

• 10% of all tokens market bought by the protocol (i.e. 10% of all platform earnings) are distributed to $GRAY stakers.

• Rewards accrue passively and are proportional to each user’s staked amount.

This model gives stakers exposure to real trading activity rather than synthetic yield, encouraging long-term alignment with protocol growth.

Market Making in $GRAY Gradient Liquidity Pools

Liquidity providers who contribute value to the $GRAY pools within the Gradient platform are rewarded with:

• 25% of all $GRAY tokens market bought by the protocol (i.e. 25% of all platform earnings)

• A share of platform-wide fee distributions distributed proportionally to each liquidity provider’s share of the pools

• A proportional share of 100% of the value captured from the spread on the fulfillment of $GRAY buy & sell orders

Because $GRAY pools strengthen the token’s off-market stability, they receive enhanced incentives to ensure deep and balanced liquidity. This creates a more reliable environment for traders and strengthens the token’s value within the protocol.
