Governance & Staking

Core Users & Incentives

In the following sections, we articulate our mechanism for incentive alignment. For current Fees, please check out Fees section accordingly.

Let's assume the following fee schedule:

  • Primary Market:

    • Makers: 10.00%

    • Takers: 1.00%

  • Secondary Market:

    • Makers: 0.50%

    • Takers: 1.00%

Users

There are four primary users - from the Stakeholders listed earlier, we refine it down to:

Buyers:

  • Pay Fees for Commitments or Constraints, i.e. from buying/selling gas

  • Their primary incentive is to either pay less fees, or get better order execution

Sellers / Validators:

  • Earn Rewards from Selling Gas

  • Their primary incentive is to increase APYs, without increasing the work involved

  • Their secondary incentives are varied and differ from one validator to the next

Additionally, however, we also have:

Ethereum Network:

  • The Network itself, that provides the incentive interface for Buyers to communicate with Validators

  • Primary incentive is ongoing existence with desire to grow usage, increase accessibility, and decentralization

ETHGas

  • The protocol itself, that provides the incentive interface for Buyers to communicate with Validators

  • Primary incentive is ongoing existence, and fee revenue for administering the incentive aalignment mechanics
