Token Types in GainzSwap
The GainzSwap protocol leverages a unique token system designed to power its ecosystem of decentralised trading, liquidity provisioning, and governance. Three primary tokens serve distinct but interconnected roles within the platform:
1. $dEDU – Delegated EDU
$dEDU is the delegated, GainzSwap-native representation of $EDU, enabling users to delegate their $EDU staking while remaining active participants in the protocol. While still earning Yuzu rewards, $dEDU holders:
Help grow protocol liquidity, and
Unlock deeper integration across GainzSwap, including swapping and governance influence.
Swaps involving EDU are settled in $dEDU, and withdrawals back to $EDU are available with a ~2-day unbonding period.
2. $Gainz – Native Protocol Token
$Gainz is the lifeblood of GainzSwap, serving as the native utility and incentive token:
Distributed primarily to GToken holders as farming rewards
Capped at 21 million tokens total supply
Used for paying swap fees, which are burned, reducing circulating supply
Grants governance power when staked indirectly through liquidity pools
The tokenomics also allocates portions to team, growth initiatives, and ecosystem incentives, ensuring long-term protocol sustainability.
3. GToken – Staked Liquidity Representation
GToken is a semi-fungible token (SFT) that represents staked LP positions on GainzSwap. It encodes both:
The amount of liquidity provided
The yield-bearing position status including lockup duration and value
GToken holders receive $Gainz emissions and can optionally lock their GTokens for enhanced rewards. Locked positions can be unlocked at any time, but early unlocks may incur penalties.
Future use cases include governance staking, collateralisation, and cross-platform integrations within the EDU Chain ecosystem.
