With the countdown to the official launch of Autonio’s revamped staking model well underway, we can at last share all the exciting details of how it will benefit all our users, now and in the years to come.

The shake-up—one demanded by our community for our community—was designed with a two-fold purpose in mind: to offer every Autonio user the chance to earn rewards, and to enable the widest possible membership of the Autonio DAO, which will chart our path to future success.

‍

Here’s how the new system, set to roll out by the end of September, will work in practice:

The original single-tier model, which limited rewards to those who had staked 300,000 NIOX tokens or more, will be replaced by a multi-tier structure with no minimum deposit requirement. This means every user will have a chance to earn NIOX rewards, right from the very first token staked.

As they earn their way into higher tiers, Autonio stakers will unlock new bundles of benefits, increase the pace of reward accumulation and earn the chance to use a greater range of our growing stable of sophisticated trading tools at zero cost.


Staking with Autonio will entitle users to:
  •  Access Autonio tools and functionalities (more with every tier)
  •  Gain early intel on great projects coming onto the market (and later, an exclusive right to invest)
  • Trade and invest for less on Smartdex  
  • Pocket NIOX tokens in inflation distributions
  • Take part in Swarm liquidity campaigns (more with every tier)
  • Earn a share of ecosystem revenues, platform fees and farming rewards.

Rewards will begin accruing as soon as a user locks in NIOX and will be paid out on a rolling basis every 90 days.

The four tiers, with their qualifying stakes and associated benefits, are laid out below:

Standard (0-50k NIOX)
  • Free access to all basic functionalities and features of the full suite of Autonios trading tools
  •  Trading volume based rebate on Smartdex trading fees
  • A reward multiplier of 1X on all staking and farming rewards (see above).

‍

Advanced (50k-150k NIOX)

Everything set out above PLUS the following additional features and benefits:

  • Access to a limited number of current and future premium trading strategies and AI services
  • A 10% rebate on all Smartdex trading fees (fee rebates rise according to staking tier)
  •  Early intelligence on pre-sale/private sale projects
  • Reward multiplier of 1.25X on all staking and farming rewards.

‍

DAO (150k-300k NIOX)

Everything set out above PLUS the following additional features and benefits:

  • Access to a greater subset of current and future premium trading strategies and AI services
  • Membership in the Autonio Foundation DAO and the ability to make and vote on proposals relating to the project
  • Reward multiplier of 1.5X on staking and farming rewards.

‍

DAO plus (300k NIOX and above)

Everything set out above PLUS the following additional features and benefits:

  • Access to the full range of current and future AI services and premium trading strategies
  • A rebate of 50% on Smartdex trading fees
  • Consultation services with in-house traders
  • Access to proprietary high-performance investment pools
  • Exclusive right to participate in pre- and private sales of high-quality projects
  • A reward multiplier of 2X on all staking and farming rewards.

‍

Note that as we roll-out Maker 2.0 and AI services early next year, current staking tiers and more importantly the trading services they give access to may have to be re-evaluated given the volatile nature of markets and the token.

Our priority is to ensure that quality services and high performance tools are accessible with a key focus on adoption and user growth. Autonio DAO will be able to govern the change in tiers, fee capture mechanics and reward distribution to maintain flexibility and drive product adoption.

‍

Overall the math is simple: The more you stake, the faster the rewards mount up, and the greater the range of trading tools you will have at your fingertips to help you conquer crypto markets.

‍

So have fun (and earn more) trading—and staking—with Autonio!
