Rewards
Understand how rewards like Emissions, External Rewards, and Rebase work in the Thirdfy ecosystem and who earns them.
Quick Start (TL;DR)
Rewards in 30 seconds: Stake xTFY = Rebase rewards (from protocol revenue + exit penalties) • Stake + Vote = Rebases + Voting incentives • Stake + LP + Vote = Everything (rebases + emissions + LP incentives + voting incentives) • Or mint o33 for AI-automated reward optimization
Thirdfy offers several ways to earn rewards. IMPORTANT: Stake xTFY to earn rebase rewards and to vote (and earn voter incentives). Emissions go to eligible participants of each gauge type: Agent Gauges (primary), vault depositors, staked CL positions.
Critical Note: Stake xTFY to unlock governance, weekly rebase rewards, and voter incentives. Emissions accrue to eligible participants in strategies that receive emissions. Agent Gauges are the primary focus.
1. Emissions (xTFY Tokens)
New xTFY tokens distributed weekly. Emissions can be directed (by voting) to:
- Agent Gauges (primary): emissions to agent identities; claims based on periodic scoring
- Automated Liquidity (IchiVault): emissions to vault participants
- Manual CL: emissions to staked v3 LP NFT positions when a Manual CL gauge exists
Note on minimum TVL: All gauges apply a minimum pool TVL threshold ($10,000). Below that, emissions for that epoch may be 0.
Who Directs Emissions?
xTFY stakers (including o33) vote weekly to decide which gauges receive emissions.
Who Earns Emissions?
Depends on gauge type. Agent gauges: agent claims. Vault/CL: liquidity participants. Voting directs; gauge design determines who claims.
2. External Rewards (Permissionless)
Anyone can add extra token rewards:
- LP Incentives — External tokens to liquidity strategies; distributed to LPs
- Voting Incentives (Bribes) — External tokens to attract votes; distributed to xTFY stakers who vote
3. Rebase Rewards (Protocol Revenue & Exit Penalties)
Weekly distributions to staked xTFY holders:
- Protocol revenue — Execute Intents, trading fees, Credits, enterprise integrations, vault management. Community votes on burns vs rebases via Revenue Governance
- Exit penalties — 50% instant exit penalty boosts rebases for loyal stakers
Direct xTFY Stakers
Earn rebase rewards directly each week, proportional to staked xTFY.
o33 Holders
Benefit indirectly. The o33 vault compounds rebases, exit penalties, and voting incentives into the o33:xTFY ratio.
Choose Your Reward Strategy
Active Strategy
Stake xTFY + Vote + Provide Liquidity → Maximum rewards.
Passive Strategy
Mint o33 → AI-automated compounding. Set and forget.
