Tigris Protocol — Beta Service Launched

Tigris Protocol allows users to stake their TTC and/or CLAY tokens to earn daily rewards. Let us take a look at the two staking services of Tigris Protocol.

1. TTC Staking Service (TSS)

By using Tigris Protocol’s TSS, users can stake their TTC in the Self-learning Automatic Voting Engine (we prefer calling it “SAVE”) to earn higher voting rewards and be free from the hassle of renewing votes. TSS also grant highly valued Representatives more chances to contribute to the ecosystem as SAVE votes for productive Representatives which can improve the overall network.

How to use TSS

1. Run the latest version of “TTC Connect (Android)” or “TTC Connect Pro (iOS)”, access “Tigris” from the DAPPs tab, and touch “Stake” from the main page
2. Select TTC, insert the amount of TTC you would like to stake, and touch “Stake” once more to finalize (minimum staking is 100 TTC)
3. When you receive your interest, touch the interest to decide if you would like to stake or withdraw the interest
4. Touch “Stake” if you would like to stake the earned interest (rewards) into SAVE as well

If you stake TTC at Day t+0 (base time: UTC), your daily TTC staking rewards will start being distributed at Day t+2. For example, users who stake TTC between Sep. 28th 00:00–23:59 (UTC), will receive their first rewards on Sep. 30th 00:00 (UTC).

2. Tigris Rewards Program (= CLAY Token Staking)

Any CLAY token holders can stake their CLAY tokens and earn daily rewards (in TTC and CLAY). The daily rewards comes from three different sources.

1. 80% of the voting rewards generated from staking TTC stored in the Tigris Reserve into SAVE are rewarded to CLAY token stakers.
2. CLAY token stakers take away 80% of the TSS fee paid by TTC holders who stake their TTC.
3. CLAY token stakers take 80% of the total Collateralized Debt Service (CDS) fee paid by CDS users.

In a nutshell, as the usage of Tigris Protocol services increases, Tigris Rewards Programs will distribute higher rewards to users. To learn more about the Tigris Rewards Program, please refer to our Whitepaper.

How to join the Tigris Rewards Program

Users who staked their TTC may now stake their CLAY tokens for an even higher daily return.

1. Run the latest version of “TTC Connect (Android)” or “TTC Connect Pro (iOS)”, access “Tigris” from the DAPPs tab, and touch “Stake” from the main page
2. Select “CLAY”, insert the amount of CLAY you would like to stake, and touch “Stake” once more to finalize (minimum staking is 1,000 CLAY)
3. When you receive your interest (rewards), you may decide if you would like to stake or withdraw the interest earned

CLAY staking steps are similar to TTC staking, but to stake CLAY tokens, TTC has to be staked beforehand. Also, identical to TTC staking, if you stake TTC at Day t+0 (base time: UTC), your daily TTC staking rewards will start being distributed at Day t+2.

What’s Next?

The Collateralized Debt Service (CDS) will soon begin its beta testing as Tigris Protocol is preparing the release of Tigris Protocol Beta-2. Once live, users my collateralize their TTC for fiat pegged stable coins.

The CLAY TGE and Tigris Protocol staking service going live marks the beginning of Tigris Protocol. Since Tigris Protocol utilize the Tigris Reserve with SAVE, which maximize voting rewards by voting for Representatives with high value, users may experience some changes in voter turnout and the overall voting rewards received in the beginning.
