Utilities

🔹 1. Platform Fee Payments

BoostFi probably charges fees for using its core services (e.g. trading, lending, deployment). Users pay these in $BOOSTFI tokens—either directly or via protocol-native swaps. This mechanism:

  • Captures revenue for the protocol, potentially used to fund development or distributed back to stakers.

  • Increases utility of $BOOSTFI tokens by creating ongoing transaction demand.


🔹 2. Staking & Access to Premium Signals

Staking $BOOSTFI plays a dual role:

  1. Earn rewards – Stakers lock tokens and receive passive income (e.g., protocol fees, newly minted tokens).

  2. Unlock premium features – Higher staking tiers may grant early or exclusive access to premium signals—market insights, trading strategies, or algorithmic alerts.

This incentivizes long-term commitment and aligns user interest with the platform’s growth.


🔹 3. Strategy Deployment Fees

BoostFi may allow community-created strategies (like algorithmic trading, auto-invest, portfolio rebalancing). Deploying or operating these strategies likely incurs fees paid in $BOOSTFI:

  • For developers, this creates a revenue stream, encouraging quality contributions.

  • For users, it ensures only viable strategies are used.

  • For the protocol, these fees can be partially burned or fund further ecosystem development.


🔹 4. Governance Voting

Holders of $BOOSTFI can participate in decentralized governance:

  • Voting power may be boosted by staking or locking tokens.

  • Governance rights cover protocol upgrades, fee structure adjustments, treasury spending decisions, etc.

  • Tokens used for voting may be locked temporarily, aligning governance participation with long-term alignment.
