$LBOT Utilities

1. Access Control

• Required to access gated vaults, copy strategies, and power user dashboards

• Minimum stake thresholds (10,000 $esLBOT for full feature access)

2. Execution Fee Discounts

• All bots (Grid, DCA, Arb) come with base fees (0.07%)

• Staked $LBOT earns tiered discounts (or rebates):

  • Bronze Tier: 10,000 $LBOT → 10%

  • Silver Tier: 50,000 $LBOT → 25%

  • Gold Tier: 120,000 $LBOT → 50%

3. Vault Staking & Rewards

• Users stake $LBOT to earn esLBOT that come as rewards from governance participation & ecosystem contribution

• Vault emissions distributed in esLBOT only

• esLBOT stakers receive a share of strategy performance rewards that are considered protocol fee rebates & are distributed in base asset → $USDC

4. Strategist Requirements

• Public vault creators must lock esLBOT as collateral

• Slashing logic (optional): if vaults exceed risk caps, strategist loses part of esLBOT

• Boosted ranking for strategists with high esLBOT commitment [similar to CEX verification badges for vendors]
