Incentive surfaces
DerivaDEX incentives link token holdings and protocol participation to execution economics and platform growth. Current documented mechanisms include:- fee discount behavior when fees are paid in DDX
- trade-mining timing parameters configured at operator-constant level
- tiering effects that reference DDX-balance thresholds
Why the incentives are split across multiple surfaces
DerivaDEX does not express all token-linked incentives in one number or one page because they affect different parts of the system:- fee discount behavior changes trading economics
- trade-mining parameters change reward timing and payout interpretation
- DDX-balance thresholds influence tiering and collateral/access posture
- governance-linked token mechanics affect proposal and voting power rather than execution pricing alone
What this means for users
| Reader | Main implication |
|---|---|
| Trader | fee-payment choice and reward programs can change effective execution economics |
| Builder | clients should display current parameter-driven values instead of hardcoding assumptions |
| Governance participant | incentive behavior can be coupled to governance-controlled parameters and token mechanics |
Practical interpretation
Integrators should treat these values as governance-controlled runtime parameters. Build clients that read and display current values, not hardcoded assumptions.What this page does not claim
This page explains the incentive model at a concept level. It does not replace:- the current exact trade-mining parameter table
- the current exact tier and tranche constants
- the full DDX token identity and governance mechanics reference
