LIEN Token Metrics

Introduction to the LIEN token

The Lien token (LIEN) is a utility token that rewards the token holders with a rebate on the Lien protocol and FairSwap usage fees

The Lien protocol charges a fee when users mint the iDOL stable coin (0.2%) and when they exchange assets using FairSwap (0.3% — variable).

Fees are collected in ETH or iDOL and are then distributed proportionally to holders of the Lien token as discounts/rebates every 28 days.

100% of Lien Protocol fees and 20% of FairSwap fees collected are attributed to Lien Token holders (80% goes to the liquidity providers).

Overview of the Lien System

How to receive fees

1. Hold LIEN tokens during the snapshot
2. A snapshot is taken every 28 days starting from August 8, UTC 13:31:50 (the fees will become redeemable immediately after the snapshot)
3. Connect your wallet to the Lien app using the address that held LIEN tokens during the snapshot
4. Redeem fees from balance screen

Let’s use a real life example. The next snapshot will be taken on September 5, 2020 UTC 13:41:50. Fees that were collected during the period leading up to this snapshot will be pooled and allocated to LIEN token holders included in the snapshot. The distributed fees are redeemable immediately after the snapshot is taken.

Fees that are left unredeemed for 48 weeks will be forfeited and included in the next fee allocation pool.
