Fringe Staking aims to offer rewards for staking of various assets to incentivize token holding and staking to benefit the Fringe ecosystem and community. Staking assets will include FRIN tokens, relevant liquidity provider tokens, fTokens (Fringe Finance’s interest-bearing tokens received by lenders) and others.
Staking rewards will be offered variously in relation to both long-term and short-term staking incentivization schemes. FRIN token holders can opt to stake their FRIN tokens to receive rewards. FRIN Stakers will also be able to participate in directing the evolution of the platform via voting for DAO proposals.
Fringe Staking interactions are depicted in the following diagram:
Rewards are paid from the Rewards Pool for each staking asset. The Rewards Pools are funded in various ways, including from the Fringe Treasury and by partners wishing to incentivize awareness of their project.

Periodically incentivizing liquidity providers to external trading markets.
Liquidity providers stake LP tokens and receive $FRIN rewards. e.g. UniV2 ERC20 LP tokens.
For example, incentivize $FRIN markets. Alternatively, incentivizing trading markets for any token we list as collateral. This latter example is to sustain the debt limit lending parameter for a collateral token as may be required.

USB holders
$USB
$USB
USB savers receive rewards in $USB for staking ("saving") their USB stablecoins.
Note: the term ‘saver’ (rather than “staker”) is intentionally
used given the user can use the USB Saver facility to earn
interest on their USB. This is akin to “staking” but occurs via
the USB Saving facility.
Permanent rewards scheme.
Interest paid by borrowers on their loans on USB Savings.
$FRIN
To bootstrap and incentivize adoption, $USB stakers receive $FRIN tokens in addition to interest for saving USB stablecoins.
