Stake to earn. Stake to save.
#SNX stakers lock tokens to earn fees from protocol trading activity.
#MKR holders govern a protocol that uses fee revenue to burn tokens, accruing value back to holders directly.
Both communities built durable models around the same conviction.
Tokens should do work, not just sit.
Paradex does both at once.
Lock DIME for up to 30% off your taker fees. Pay fees in DIME for another 20% off. Combined, up to 50% below the base taker rate for both Retail and Pro users. Maker fees stay at 0% across every tier.
The mechanic is structural. The discount is not funded by emissions or temporary incentives. It is a permanent reduction in trading costs tied directly to staked DIME.
Volume tiers run on a 14-day rolling window on top of that. Trade more, tier up. Stake more, discount deeper. Pro takers matching retail makers through FastFills get an additional 30%, with a maximum Pro discount reaching 80%, subject to a 1 bps floor.
MoneyBadgers and ShizoPunks holders unlock immediate VIP 1 access on day one.
SNX showed that staking should pay you. MKR showed that revenue should accrue back to holders.
DIME staking does both. Earn yield through reduced execution costs every time you trade.
