Reward Options for Swaps

These Reward Options are airdropped on fee payers pro-rata to the amount of fees they have paid compared to everyone else who paid fees in that 5 day period. The reward option will be ITM (‘In The Money’) if the price of STEP is 10% above the price the option was minted at. After 15 days the option will expire worthless.

Reward Option Characteristics:

Valid for a 15 Day period

150k STEP available per 5 day option period.

Switchboard⁠

⁠

Strike Price is set to +10% above the STEP 24hr TWAP price. This number is adjustable by Step team and will likely change

The Reward Option has no cost. It is airdropped on users proportional to their fees paid during the previous 15 day option period.

Reward Options are minted every 5 days

Reward Option will expire worthless after 15 days if not exercised.

If the price of the Reward Option has not met the Strike then it is ‘OTM’ (Out Of The Money) and not exercisable.

To Exercise the option, a user will need to have a balance of USDC

The USDC paid to exercise options is sent to the Step Treasury. From there it is used to buyback STEP to distribute rewards to xSTEP stakers. The intent here for the team is to place bids with the USDC below the exercise price thereby buying back more than is issued and placing a floor price on STEP.
