LP NFTs Distribution from Treasury Assets
Each month, the DAO Treasury will mint Uniswap V3 LP NFTs as Staking Rewards. These NFTs are created as Uniswap V3 positions in the AEVO/USDC pool (0.3% fee tier) with liquidity concentrated in a symmetric range from 50% below to 100% above the current AEVO price at the time of minting.
This ±100% range generates approximately 2-3x the fees of full-range positions while remaining active through most realistic price movements, balancing fee yield with position longevity to make NFTs attractive long term holdings.
Monthly allocations are determined by the Treasury and Revenues Management Committee to balance competitive reward with Treasury sustainability, scaling appropriately with actual staking participation levels.
The committee will intervene as needed to assess allocation effectiveness, adjusting based on participation rates, absolute costs relative to Treasury reserves, comparable market programs, and the overall value proposition when combined with the other rewards.
Initial weekly allocation is set at 250,000 $AEVO, paired with equivalent USDC.
The amount minted for each staker is based on their tier (determined by lock duration and staking amount) and trading volume. Rewards accumulate weekly and can be tracked in real-time through the new Governance Portal, with NFTs minted monthly. Gas fees for the minting transactions will be subsidized by Aevo.
All proposed weights and multipliers, including the Aevo/USDC pooled proportions, are subject to periodic review by the Treasury and Revenues Management Committee.
Why LP NFTs
Stakers receive productive assets that continue generating trading fees;
Exposure to both USDC and $AEVO provides balanced risk profile;
Creates sticky liquidity, as stakers can maintain the LP positions.
Incentivized Proportional Short Vesting
To prevent immediate extraction while rewarding commitment, distributed LP NFTs vest over a short period, determined by the staker's tier position on both dimensions of the matrix:
NFT vesting
CADET
EXPLORER
COMMANDER
LEGEND
LUNAR
7 weeks
6 weeks
5 weeks
4 weeks
MARTIAN
6 weeks
5 weeks
4 weeks
3 weeks
STELLARIS
5 weeks
4 weeks
3 weeks
2 weeks
CELESTIAL
4 weeks
3 weeks
2 weeks
1 week
Examples:
LUNAR CADET (minimum commitment): LP tokens vest over 7 weeks;
MARTIAN EXPLORER (moderate commitment): LP tokens vest over 5 weeks (7 - 1 - 1);
STELLARIS COMMANDER (high commitment): LP tokens vest over 3 weeks (7 - 2 - 2);
CELESTIAL LEGEND (maximum commitment): LP tokens vest over 1 week (7 - 3 - 3).
This structure ensures that a small holder who commits for 12 months (LUNAR LEGEND: 4 weeks vesting) receives similar acceleration benefits to a large holder who commits for only 2 months (CELESTIAL CADET: 4 weeks vesting). Maximum commitment on both dimensions yields maximum benefit.
Distribution Weighting
Each staker's share of the monthly LP token distribution is calculated based on their weighted stake. The weight multiplier is determined by the combination of lock duration tier and amount tier, with duration weighted more heavily to reward long term commitment:

Trading Volume Boost
To further incentivize active platform usage, NFT rewards incorporate a trading volume multiplier on top of the staking tier multiplier.
Please note:
Market Maker accounts are not included;
Pre Launch markets are not included;
Options will have a special volume ratio to avoid any exploit of OTM trades.
Stakers are categorized into four weekly trading tiers:
Tier
Weekly Volume
Boost Multiplier
Tier 1
$0 - $500,000
1x
Tier 2
$500,001 - $5,000,000
2x
Tier 3
$5,000,001 - $10,000,000
3x
Tier 4
$10,000,001+
4x
These multipliers stack with staking tier multipliers, meaning a CELESTIAL LEGEND staker with Tier 4 trading volume receives a combined 16.8x multiplier (4.2 × 4), while a LUNAR CADET with Tier 1 volume maintains the baseline 1.0x multiplier.
These multipliers ensure that NFT rewards flow to those who both commit capital long term and actively trade on the platform, aligning incentives between staking and exchange usage.
