Staking & Tier System

The PAID staking system rewards long-term commitment across both token raises and equity deals.

  • Extra guaranteed token allocation for higher tiers - More staked $PAID means larger guaranteed allocations through EarlyPool multipliers for token raises

  • Lower fees for higher tiers - Higher-tier participants pay reduced fees while earning increased rewards from The Flywheel Economy - Diamond tier pays zero fees overall

  • Exclusive access - PriorityPool, EarlyPool, Flash Raise, and Inner Circle benefits for committed stakers

  • Cross-asset benefits - Single staking position unlocks advantages across both token raises and equity deals

Token raise tier benefits

Every tier unlocks guaranteed allocations based on your $PAID stake, with guaranteed allocation multipliers scaling from 0.5x to 6x.

These multipliers determine how much guaranteed allocation you receive in EarlyPool, ensuring that committed backers are rewarded with higher allocations.

Equity deals tier benefits

Traditional investment funds charge 20% carry, meaning you keep 80% of gains. PAID Diamond tier members keep 100% of gains with zero carry fees.

Equity deals include a one-time entry fee - typically up to 10% - to cover SPV legal and operational costs, shared pro rata across all investors. PAID does not profit from this fee. The average percentage tends to be lower for larger raises, as the costs are distributed across more participants. For select deals, Diamond members may be exempt.
