Tokenomics · $SHARP

The token that captures protocol value.

$SHARP is not a cosmetic governance token. It is the claim on Sharpfi protocol cash-flow: fee share, LP boost, risk backstop and binding governance. Fixed supply, long vesting, exponential-decay emission.

03 · Utility — six ways $SHARP works

Every utility is tied to a real protocol cash-flow. No cosmetic mechanics.

Fee share

Staking $SHARP entitles holders to a share of protocol fees (3% on bettor profit + 3% on LP yield).

Governance

Vote on pool parameters, market whitelist, LMSR margins, emission distribution and treasury.

LP boost

Stake $SHARP to amplify pool rewards — up to 2.5× on LP positions.

Risk backstop

A portion of staked $SHARP acts as an insurance fund for black-swan events on the pools.

Collateral

Staked ERC-4626 shares are usable as collateral on Aave / GMX / compatible DeFi protocols.

Veto power

DAO multi-sig with $SHARP quorum for emergency pause and BettingEngine upgrades.

04 · Vesting detail

All unlocks are on-chain and verifiable via the TokenVesting contract. Same logic for team and investors.

05 · The value flywheel

The protocol generates cash, buys back $SHARP, redistributes it to stakers, shrinks circulating supply. Four steps, one compounding loop.

01

Fee accrual

Protocol collects fees + yield. A portion is allocated to $SHARP buyback on the open market.

02

Buyback & stake

Repurchased $SHARP is distributed to stakers — not burned. Real-yield rewards in USDC.

03

Growing demand

More stakers = more fee share per holder = more incentive to stake = shrinking circulating supply.

04

Liquidity moat

Staked $SHARP becomes DeFi collateral. Liquidity begets liquidity, the ecosystem expands.

Sharpfi is cash, capital and code. $SHARP is how believers in the protocol become owners — not spectators.
