Frequently Asked Questions

$EDGE Token
$EDGE is Definitive's utility token and the asset used for EDGE Rewards. Qualified stakers receive weekly, revenue-backed rebates distributed as staked EDGE, with additional rewards available to stakers who trade.
Each week, Definitive uses 10% of protocol revenue to buy back EDGE for qualified stakers. 2.5% is distributed proportionally to all qualified stakers, while 7.5% goes to qualified stakers who trade, weighted by trading volume. Rewards are paid as staked EDGE.
A minimum of $200 in staked EDGE qualifies you to participate in EDGE Rewards. All EDGE staked across your portfolios counts toward your total staking allocation.
You can buy EDGE directly on Definitive using Prime or Turbo. EDGE is also available on major DEXs across supported chains.
Unstaking starts a 7-day cooldown. During the cooldown, the unstaked EDGE cannot be traded or withdrawn; afterward, it automatically returns to the portfolio it came from.
The Rewards tab in Definitive shows your pending rewards, effective reward rate, and rewards history.
