### What Can You Do with TEDP?

#### 1. Governance

TEDP holders can participate in protocol governance.

* Vote on protocol settings (fees, supported chains, DEX integrations)
* Propose new features and improvements
* Participate in treasury allocation decisions

#### 2. Staking Rewards

Stake TEDP to earn a share of protocol revenue.

| Staking Pool       | Reward Source                 | Expected APY |
| ------------------ | ----------------------------- | ------------ |
| TEDP Staking Vault | 50% of protocol fees          | 8-15%        |
| LP Boost Vault     | Trading fees + TEDP emissions | 15-30%       |

#### 3. Cross-Chain Transfers

TEDP uses the LayerZero OFT standard. Transfer freely across all supported chains without bridges or wrapped tokens.

### Token Features

#### ERC-20 Permit (EIP-2612)

TEDP supports gasless approvals.

```mermaid theme={null}
flowchart LR
    subgraph Traditional
        direction LR
        A1[Approval TX] -->|gas| A2[Swap TX]
    end
    subgraph Permit
        direction LR
        B1[Sign message] -->|free| B2[Swap TX]
    end
    Traditional ~~~ Permit
```

**Benefits:**

* Save \~50,000 gas on first swap
* Better UX (single transaction)
* No waiting for approval transaction

#### LayerZero OFT

TEDP is an Omnichain Fungible Token.

```mermaid theme={null}
flowchart TD
    A[Chain A: Burn 100 TEDP] --> B[LayerZero Message]
    B --> C[Chain B: Mint 100 TEDP]
```

**Features:**

* Same native token on all chains (not wrapped)
* Total supply always 1B across all chains
* Transfer time 1-3 minutes
* No slippage, no liquidity pools needed

***

### Value Accrual

TEDP increases token value through multiple mechanisms.

#### Revenue Sharing

```mermaid theme={null}
flowchart TD
    A[Protocol Revenue<br/>0.1% swap fee] --> B[50% → TEDP Stakers]
    A --> C[30% → Treasury]
    A --> D[20% → Buyback & Burn]
```

#### Buyback & Burn

* 20% of protocol fees used to purchase TEDP from market
* Purchased TEDP is permanently burned
* Circulating supply decreases over time
* Creates consistent buy pressure

#### Staking Lock-up Benefits

Longer staking periods earn higher rewards.

| Lock Period | Boost Multiplier |
| ----------- | ---------------- |
| Flexible    | 1.0x             |
| 30 days     | 1.25x            |
| 90 days     | 1.5x             |
| 180 days    | 2.0x             |
