💰$LIB Token Utility

Our Philosophy

$LIB token utility is designed to enhance prediction market trading without restricting platform access. Unlike many platforms that force users to buy, hold, or stake tokens just to trade, Libera enables everyone to use the platform with USDC—ensuring maximum accessibility and user base growth.

Token utility ties value directly to platform performance through our flywheel mechanism. As trading volume increases, more revenue flows to token holders through buyback & burn and staking rewards. This creates direct exposure to platform success, not just speculation—a model proven successful by Raydium, Aerodrome, and other revenue-sharing protocols.

Core Principle: Trade freely in USDC. Hold $LIB to unlock enhanced benefits and capture platform growth.

Primary Utility: Revenue Distribution

The foundation of $LIB value is direct exposure to platform revenue through two automated mechanisms.

Buyback & Burn (66% of revenue) uses the majority of platform fees to purchase $LIB from the open market and permanently destroy the tokens. This creates constant buy pressure and deflationary tokenomics, reducing total supply over time and increasing scarcity. The value accrual is directly tied to trading volume—more trades mean more burns.

Staking Rewards (34% of revenue) distributes the remaining fees proportionally to users who stake their $LIB tokens. This provides passive income that grows with platform volume, allowing long-term holders to earn yield from protocol success. There's no lockup period required—you can unstake anytime while still earning rewards when staked.

At $100M monthly trading volume with 1.25% effective fees, this generates $1.25M in monthly revenue. From this, $825K goes toward buyback & burn creating constant buying pressure, while $425K is distributed to stakers as passive income.

Enhanced Trading Benefits

Beyond revenue exposure, $LIB holders unlock progressive benefits that enhance their trading experience and reduce costs.

Trading Fee Discounts provide up to 50% reduced fees based on your staked amount. The standard 0.25% trading fee decreases as you stake more tokens. Staking 1,000 $LIB gives you a 10% discount, 5,000 $LIB unlocks 25% off, 25,000 $LIB provides 40% savings, and 100,000+ $LIB grants the maximum 50% discount. For active traders, these savings make $LIB holdings pay for themselves quickly.

Premium Features become accessible when you hold 10,000+ $LIB tokens. This unlocks advanced analytics including historical performance metrics and ROI tracking, API access for programmatic trading and algorithmic strategies, priority support with faster response times, early access to new markets before public launch, exclusive insights from top trader analysis, and custom alert systems for price triggers.

Ligent AI Credits give $LIB holders 30-50% discounts on AI-powered trading features. This includes copy trading subscriptions to follow top performers at reduced rates, AI trade suggestions using pattern recognition, personalized analysis based on your trading history, and enhanced social trading features across X, Farcaster, and Base App.

Competitive & Social Benefits

$LIB enables participation in exclusive competitive events and provides access to specialized trading opportunities.

Exclusive Tournaments are accessible only to token holders, featuring weekly competitions where top performers win $LIB prize pools. You can compete across different strategies and timeframes on leaderboard rankings, attract copiers by showcasing your skills, and participate in token-holder-only events with larger prizes. Some high-stakes tournaments require minimum $LIB holdings or entry fees paid in tokens.

Exclusive Market Access opens specialized markets that trade exclusively in $LIB rather than USDC. These include high-stakes markets with larger position limits, pre-launch markets for early access opportunities, experimental market types with new formats or longer durations, and VIP markets with institutional-grade liquidity. Standard markets remain fully accessible in USDC for all users—these exclusive markets are additive benefits, not restrictive barriers.

Rewards & Incentives

$LIB holders benefit from multiple reward programs that recognize platform participation and loyalty.

Airdrops reward accumulated points from platform activity. You earn points through trading volume contribution, liquidity provision participation, community engagement on social channels and Discord, early adopter bonuses, and referral network growth. These points qualify you for periodic $LIB airdrops.

Referral Rewards provide $LIB tokens when you bring new users who deposit USDC and complete their first trade, generate ongoing trading volume, or become active liquidity providers. The tiered structure means you earn more as your referrals become more active on the platform.

Staking Multipliers boost your earnings across all programs when you stake $LIB. Staked tokens receive 1.5× multiplier on referral earnings, 2× multiplier on trading competition prizes, priority allocation in airdrops, and enhanced liquidity provider rewards. This creates compounding benefits for long-term holders who stake their tokens.
