What is TONIC staking?
Tectonic allows TONIC holders to deposit their tokens in the TONIC staking module in return for yield rewards.
Stakeholders receive token rewards, including a share of the protocol revenue generated from fees paid by borrowers.
TONIC staking will drive further utility for the TONIC token. It seeks to align incentives with long-term believers of the protocol and benefits token holders.
Other uses for staked TONIC include acting as community insurance if a shortfall event occurs and will eventually be used to vote on Tectonic governance proposals as well.
