See: Key Characteristics How the Yield Vault Works Comparison with the Oracle Growth Vault Encouraging Ecosystem Engagement Summary of Key Points
The Flareporium Yield Vault is designed for participants who seek potentially higher, though less predictable, staking rewards influenced by the real-time activity of the Flareporium marketplace and launchpad. Unlike the Oracle Growth Vault—which provides more stable, long-term rewards—the Yield Vault allows participants to capitalize on short-term spikes in platform usage, dynamic trading volumes, and overall ecosystem growth.
Key Characteristics
Activity-Driven Rewards The Yield Vault’s rewards originate from fees collected through the Flareporium Marketplace and Launchpad. As users buy, sell, and mint NFTs, 40% of these fees flows into the Momentum Reserve. From there, 30% of the Momentum Reserve’s allocations are directed into the Yield Vault. This means that when market activity is robust, the Yield Vault can experience surges in $FLR and $SGB distributions for its stakers.
Diverse Reward Structure In contrast to the Oracle Growth Vault, which focuses on stable $FLR rewards, the Yield Vault delivers returns in both $FLR and $SGB. This diversification offers participants exposure to multiple tokens within the Flare and Songbird ecosystems, providing additional flexibility and the potential for enhanced yield during periods of heightened platform activity.
Aligned Incentives By tying staking rewards directly to platform volume, the Yield Vault encourages participants to become advocates for Flareporium. Users who drive more traffic, facilitate higher-value trades, or promote new NFT collections stand to benefit personally as the vault’s reward pool expands in tandem with increased ecosystem usage.
How the Yield Vault Works
Funding Through the Momentum Reserve When transactions occur on the Marketplace (4% fees) or Launchpad (8% fees), 40% of these fees flows into the Momentum Reserve. Of these reserves, 30% are allocated to the Yield Vault. This allocation model ensures that any uptick in marketplace activity, NFT mints, or trading volume directly impacts the Yield Vault’s reward potential.
Staking $FOTON Participants must stake $FOTON tokens into the Yield Vault to be eligible for its reward distributions. Note that $FOTON can be earned through various ecosystem mechanisms—such as staking Block Sapiens NFTs or potentially purchasing it on the open market—giving users multiple ways to acquire and then leverage the token within the Vault.
Reward Distribution in $FLR and $SGB Over defined intervals, the Yield Vault distributes accumulated rewards to stakers based on their share of the total $FOTON staked. While details on distribution frequency and claiming will be provided in the dedicated Staking pages of the whitepaper, participants can expect that during high-volume periods, yields may spike, delivering more substantial $FLR and $SGB returns.
Fluctuating Returns Because the Yield Vault’s rewards depend on actual platform activity, returns are inherently variable. During quieter periods, rewards may decrease. Conversely, when the marketplace experiences significant volume, participants will enjoy larger distributions. This volatility can be an advantage for those willing to engage strategically with the ecosystem, timing their stakes or promoting the platform to capitalize on active market conditions.
Comparison with the Oracle Growth Vault
Reward Predictability
Lower (marketplace- and launchpad-driven variability)
Higher (FTSO-based, stable and long-term)
Reward Assets
$FLR & $SGB
Primarily $FLR
Growth Drivers
Directly tied to marketplace, launchpad, and ecosystem activity
Continuous inflows from Momentum Reserve, NFT mint proceeds, and FTSO rewards
Ideal Participant
Users comfortable with variability who want to leverage surges in platform activity
Users seeking consistent, stable, and predictable yields
Encouraging Ecosystem Engagement
The Yield Vault’s design incentivizes participants to take an active role in Flareporium’s success. Stakers who bring new users, collaborate with creators, promote upcoming NFT launches, or facilitate trading volume may indirectly increase the vault’s reward pool. This approach creates a positive feedback loop: greater activity leads to higher rewards, motivating participants to continue driving engagement.
Summary of Key Points
Dynamic Rewards: Returns vary with marketplace and launchpad performance, potentially offering higher yields during periods of strong activity.
Multi-Token Distribution: Stakers earn both $FLR and $SGB, providing diversification and additional exposure to the Flare and Songbird ecosystems.
Community-Driven Growth: The more volume the platform generates, the more the Yield Vault can distribute, aligning participant incentives with platform success.
Complementary to the Oracle Growth Vault: Serves as a counterpart to the stable, predictable returns found in the Oracle Growth Vault, giving participants the freedom to choose their preferred reward profile.
