On-chain clearing houses earn 0.6% (30%) of the 2% transaction fees of the total transaction volume processed through their nodes, paid out entirely in . This incentive structure aligns the On-chain clearing houses' interests with the network's growth and stability, encouraging efficient and reliable clearing services. These stablecoin rewards come from the fee that merchants and clients pay for using the Zeebu PSP for invoicing, never emissions of the ZBU token, which sets apart the Zeebu Protocol. This payout in stablecoins is derived from real-world business activity, making Zeebu one of the only protocols paying out real-world rewards from real-world business activity.
On-chain clearing houses can only lock-in for a 2 year period for their staked tokens. However, Delegators can lock their ZBU tokens for a variable period, which results in more of less veZBU relative to the lock duration:
6 months: 1 ZBU = 0.125 veZBU
1 year: 1 ZBU = 0.5 veZBU
2 years: 1 ZBU = 1 veZBU
Longer lock-in periods result in more veZBU, determining the total dollar volume a given node can process.
Let's go over some mock math and help you understand your earning capacity. If you check out , you can scroll down to the calculator and see the settlement capacity for any certain amount of USD, but some key ingredients to remember, that settlement capacity in USD is denominated in veZBU, which is rewarded according to staking time.
Example 1: Stake 100k ZBU -> 2 Years = 100k veZBU (100k USD Daily Settlement Capacity)
Example 2: Stake 2.5k ZBU -> 1 Year = 1.25k veZBU (1.25k USD Daily Settlement Capacity)
Example 3: Stake 5k ZBU -> 6 Months = 625 veZBU (625 USD Daily Settlement Capacity)
