🟨veSIS

Symbiosis Reward Programs: veSIS is the perfect way to get more out of crypto assets. By staking SIS tokens, users can earn and also have a say in the Symbiosis DAO

Introducing veSIS

veSIS provides an excellent opportunity to maximize the benefits of crypto assets. By staking SIS tokens, the token of the Symbiosis protocol, for a chosen period, users receive veSIS tokens, unlocking a range of exclusive benefits, including:

1. Voting power in the Symbiosis DAO For more information, refer to Governing Symbiosis

2. Boosted APR for Liquidity Provision For more information, refer to Farming on Octopools

3. Cross-chain fees reductions Enjoy up to 60% reductions on cross-chain fees. For more information, refer to this article

4. Rewards for staking SIS tokens For more information, continue reading this document

How it works

Users can stake SIS tokens in Symbiosis smart contracts on the following chains: Ethereum, BNB Chain, zkSync EVM, and Linea. The longer the SIS tokens are locked, the greater the rewards and voting power for the holders. Consider the following examples:

• 1 SIS locked for 4 years = 1.00 veSIS

• 1 SIS locked for 3 years = 0.75 veSIS

• 1 SIS locked for 2 years = 0.50 veSIS

• 1 SIS locked for 1 years = 0.25 veSIS

Rewards in SIS tokens are distributed weekly, on Thursday at 00:00 UTC.

Rewards are accrued for the full week; for example, if you lock SIS tokens on a Friday, the first portion of rewards for that lock will be available in 13 days, not 6.

The number of veSIS tokens gradually decreases until, by the end of the lock period, there are 0 veSIS tokens, and the locked SIS tokens become available for withdrawal.

Users can claim their rewards in full at any time; there is no vesting period. Locked SIS tokens become available for withdrawal once the chosen lock period is over.

Weekly Rewards Calculation Example

Given:

• Total Locked SIS: 100,000

• Total veSIS issued: 1,000

Personal:

• Your Locked SIS: 500

• Your veSIS: 100

Assumption:

• APR: 10%, which translates to a weekly rate of approximately 0.192% (since 1 year approximately contains 52 weeks).

Rewards Calculation:

1. Total Rewards for All Holders:

   Total Rewards = 100,000 × 0.00192 = 192 SIS

2. Rewards per veSIS:

   Rewards per veSIS = 192 / 1,000 = 0.192 SIS

3. Your Share:

   Your Rewards = 100 × 0.192 = 19.2 SIS

Thus, with 100 veSIS, you would receive 19.2 SIS as your reward for the week.

User Guide

There are two steps on the path to veSIS rewards, voting power, and other benefits:

1. Getting SIS Tokens: Obtain SIS tokens on Ethereum, the BNB Chain, zkSync Era, and/or Linea.

2. Staking SIS Tokens: Get veSIS tokens by staking SIS tokens on Ethereum, the BNB Chain, zkSync Era, or Linea. Users can stake SIS tokens on multiple networks simultaneously to maximize their benefits.

Adding SIS token to the Token List in your Wallet

Before you start working with SIS tokens on Ethereum, the BNB Chain, zkSync Era, or Linea, you may need to add the token to the token list in your wallet. Here is the information you need:

$SIS on Ethereum

Contract address: 0xd38BB40815d2B0c2d2c866e0c72c5728ffC76dd9 -> More information on Etherscan

$SIS on BNB Chain

Contract address: 0xF98b660AdF2ed7d9d9D9dAACC2fb0CAce4F21835 -> Mori information on BscScan

$SIS on zkSync Era

Contract address: 0xdd9f72afED3631a6C85b5369D84875e6c42f1827 -> More information on zkSync block explorer

How to add SIS token to a wallet's token list

Adding a custom token to a wallet's token list usually involves manually inputting the token's contract address and other details. Here's a general step-by-step process for most wallets:

1. Open Your Wallet App.

2. Access the Token List: Most wallets have a section where you can see a list of tokens. It could be labeled as "Tokens", "Assets", "Coin Management", or something similar.

3. Add Custom Token Option: Look for an "Add", "+", or "Manage Tokens" option. Once you click on it, there might be an option to "Add Custom Token" or "Add Token Manually".

4. Enter Token Details: Here you'll typically need:

   • Token Contract Address: This is the unique address that represents the token on the blockchain. Make sure you copy it correctly and from a trusted source to avoid scams.

   • Token Symbol: This is the shorthand symbol for the token (e.g., ETH for Ethereum, BTC for Bitcoin).

   • Decimals: Most tokens use 18 decimals, but you should verify the exact number for your specific token.

5. Confirm: After entering the details, there should be a button to finalize the addition, something like "Add", "Confirm", or "Done".

6. Verify: Once added, go back to your token list and ensure the custom token is now visible with its proper details.

7. Warning: Always ensure you're adding the correct token. There are many scam tokens that might have similar names to legitimate ones. Always use trusted sources to get the contract address and other details.

Different wallets might have variations in the process, but this is the general approach. Always refer to the specific instructions provided by your wallet provider or their official documentation

Joining the veSIS Program

To join the veSIS reward program and receive rewards, discounts, and voting power, you need to lock your SIS tokens first. When you lock SIS tokens, you will receive veSIS tokens in exchange. The more veSIS tokens you have, the more rewards and voting power you will receive.

You can lock SIS tokens on Ethereum, BNB chain and zkSync Era. If you have SIS tokens locked on more than one chain, the SIS tokens of all chains will be taken into account for voting and discounts.

To lock SIS tokens:

1. Navigate to Symbiosis WebApp > Farming Section > the veSIS tab: — Est.APR: Estimated APR value based on the total number of SIS tokens locked at the time of calculation and the reward amount allocated weekly. — Est.Weekly Rewards Pool: Estimated value based on the previous week's rewards pool. — veSIS Supply: Total number of veSIS tokens minted to date. — Locked: Total number of locked SIS tokens.
2. Connect your wallet.

3. Select the blockchain (Ethereum, BNB chain, zkSync Era, or Linea) where you want to lock your SIS tokens:
4. If you don't have SIS tokens click Get SIS: You will be redirected to the Swap section of Symbiosis WebApp. Once you have SIS tokens, navigate back to Symbiosis WebApp > Farming Section > the veSIS tab.
5. Enter the number of SIS tokens you are going to lock, choose the duration of the lock (during this period, you will accrue rewards once a week, where 52 weeks are approximately 1 year), and press the Confirm lock button:
6. If you see the Switch network to Ethereum/BNB/zkSync Era/Linea button, switch to the network by pressing the button and confirming the action in your connected wallet.

7. If you see Approve SIS amount button, approve the token use by pressing the button and approve the transaction in your wallet:
8. Press the Create Lock button: Important: APR, Weekly Rewards, and Total Rewards listed for your lock are estimated values. They are calculated based on the total number of SIS tokens locked at the time of calculation and the reward amount allocated weekly.
9. Once the transaction of the lock creation is mined, you will return to the top page, where you will see your lock: Expand More About Your Lock to see details of the lock:

The number of veSIS tokens gradually decreases until, by the end of the lock period, there are 0 veSIS tokens, and the locked SIS tokens become available for withdrawal.

Note: Weekly and total rewards listed for your lock are estimated values. They are calculated based on the total number of SIS tokens locked at the time of calculation and the reward amount allocated last week.
