🏛️TIG and Governance

Tigris (TIG) is the protocol token that can be staked to receive trading fees and to vote on governance proposals.

TIG stakers earn 70% of market orders trading fees and 63% of limit and stop orders trading fees. The other 7% is used to incentivize their executions and is paid to execution bots.

Profits from trading fees are paid out in real-time in TIGusd and tigETH and can be claimed through Tigris's website or by interacting with the staking contract directly. Stakers only earn the profits generated on the chain they are staking on.

TIG is an Omnichain Fungible Token and can be bridged between chains Tigris is deployed on thanks to LayerZero.

Staking grants Governance power but is also possible to lock TIG from 1 to 365 days to receive even more, calculated as:

amount + amount*duration/maxduration

Voting is currently done on Snapshot with on-chain governance coming in the future. Discussions around upcoming and existing proposals happen in the official Discord server in the Governance channel.

The DAO is governed by both Gov NFTs and TIG holders (1 NFT has the voting power of 1300 TIG).
