Trade-To-Earn

The Trade-to-Earn program is designed to reward users with $ADEX who actively trade on our AI decentralized exchange (AI-DEX).

Overview

AstraDex AI platform introduces a dynamic and engaging rewards system by distributing $ADEX tokens proportionally to trading volume. This approach not only incentivizes user activity but also fosters long-term participation and growth. Designed with sustainability in mind, the rewards mechanism starts with higher payouts and gradually decreases over a 5-year period. This ensures balanced token distribution, preserves value, and supports a thriving ecosystem.

Objectives

• Drive Active Trading

• Incentivize Early Adoption

• Support Long-Term Engagement

• Align Platform Growth

Rationale for Tapered Reward Model

• Early High Rewards (Year 1) - Provides strong incentives for early adopters, promoting high activity and liquidity.

• Controlled Tapering (Years 2-4) - Gradually reducing rewards helps manage token inflation and stabilizes token value.

• End-of-Period Boost (Year 5) - A slight increase in Year 5 rewards maintains engagement as the reward program concludes.

Total Reward Allocation

• Total Mining Rewards: 10 million $ADEX

• Duration: 5 years
