# Tiered Platform Discounts

<figure><img src="/files/Y27xe4DfiGEdSSMjxHJp" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## **Overview**

This initiative offers users discounts on platform trading fees based on their $**ADEX** holdings, complementing our existing Trade-to-Earn and Gas-Free Transaction perks.

## **Objectives**

* Encourage users to hold more $**ADEX** by offering fee discounts.
* Lower trading costs to stimulate platform usage.
* Implement discounts in a way that maintains platform revenue and prevents exploitation.
* Align with Trade-to-Earn and Gas-Free Transaction perks without causing conflicts.

## **Challenges and Considerations**

* Fee discounts could lead to artificially inflated trading volumes, especially when combined with the Trade-to-Earn program.
* Users might exploit fee discounts to maximize Trade-to-Earn rewards without generating any revenue.

## **How It Works?**

1. Simply keep the necessary number of tokens in your wallet connected to our AstraDex AI platform.
2. Once you meet the requirements, discounts are **automatically applied** when you trade.

*PS: Token requirement can be adjusted if necessary and to be economically viable.*&#x20;
