$VELA and $esVELA

Provide Liquidity

VELA can be provided as liquidity to AMM partners, such as Camelot on Arbitrum to earn APR from swap fees and market making. Additionally, VELA can be converted to esVELA in order to access rewards outlined below.

Staking Rewards

esVELA can be staked to earn rewards from platform activities. The rewards share is based on the total sum of esVELA that is staked with the protocol.

Staked esVELA entitles users to the following benefits:

1. Receive discounted trading fees as per the fee discount table

2. Earn 30-45% (Read More) of the total fees in USDC generated by the perpetual exchange fees

Vesting $esVELA

Users can deposit $esVELA into the vesting contract in order to claim the same amount of $VELA. This is unlocked continuously throughout 6-month linear vesting period. $esVELA that is staked for vesting cannot earn rewards.

Choose how quickly you'd like to vest your tokens in order to determine the percent burned and overall vesting duration

$$claimableVELA = \frac{initialAmount*timeElapsed}{vestingPeriod} * (1-burnPercent)$$

$$claimableESVELA =initialAmount*(1- \frac{burnPercent*timeElapsed}{vestingPeriod})$$

$$burnedVELA = initialAmount – claimableVELA - claimableESVELA$$

$$timeRemaining = startTime+vestingPeriod-currentTime$$

$$timeVested=currentTime-startTime$$

See below a simplified breakdown the flexible vesting schedule and amount of Vela burned in the process:
