Metastaking is a unique DeFi (decentralized finance) concept on Elrond’s Maiar DEX (decentralized exchange) that will enable staking and compounding for community tokens after they’re farmed.

This new product offers a simple way for token holders to stake their assets for the long term while simultaneously earning rewards. It also provides an additional income stream for LPs (liquidity providers), who can earn a third type of reward (denominated in the staked token) for depositing liquidity into pools, in addition to the regular LP staking farm and fees.

With a combination of token staking, liquidity providing, and yield farming, Elrond metastaking incentivizes LPs to simultaneously earn three types of rewards.

These exciting features and benefits are only made possible through the technology behind Elrond’s blockchain architecture.

Elrond Metastaking for ITHEUM

Metastaking is the first DeFi creation that brings the power of liquidity providing, staking, and yield farming into one product. The novel liquidity providing incentives and income streams offered by metastaking will enhance the ITHEUM token’s utility and attractiveness for long-term holding.

An EGLD/ITHEUM LP can simultaneously earn the following three types of rewards:

• LP fees from the liquidity pool
• Regular farming rewards
• ITHEUM rewards from the ITHEUM metastake

The addition of a new income stream through metastaking will further incentivize users to add liquidity, again benefiting the long-term health of the ITHEUM token.

Why Own ITHEUM?

Ownership of the ITHEUM token or corresponding side tokens (like $mITHEUM and $bITHEUM) will be necessary for the following tasks:

• To participate in Elrond’s Maiar DEX ITHEUM DeFi Initiatives

You can provide liquidity to the ITHEUM/EGLD liquidity pool to earn a percentage of the trading fees and also leverage compounding benefits by using your LP tokens to participate in the LP and staking farms to earn MEX and LKMEX tokens. You will also be able to participate in the Metastaking programs and use your LP token (or existing ITHEUM tokens) to earn new ITHEUM. All of these DeFi initiatives ensure the longevity of the ITHEUM project, as they grow community awareness of the products being built by the Itheum team, which require the ITHEUM utility token as its core “fuel.”

• Getting access rights to using Data Packs, Data Streams, or Data Coalition DAO Data Pools

ITHEUM is the “software key” for gaining authorized access to a user’s data. A data creator can authorize a requester to access their data when they receive ITHEUM from the requester.

In the event the trade is processed by a Data Coalition DAO (part of a bulk data pool), ITHEUM is transferred from the access requester to this entity, after which it is disbursed to its collective members.

• Gaining relative voting rights in the Itheum Foundation (IF) DAO

The IF DAO votes on “proposals’’ regarding how the ITHEUM treasury will be spent to advance the community’s roadmap and development. Staking ITHEUM allows users to gain relative voting rights within the IF DAO.

• Staking or Bonding $ITHEUM to create a new Data Coalition governed by a DAO

The Data Coalition DAO votes on “motions’’ regarding the bulk trade of data. Staking ITHEUM provides users with relative voting rights for managing the operation of the Data Coalition DAO.

Conclusion

Elrond Metastaking for ITHEUM opens up new possibilities for Itheum DEX users to earn three-fold returns on their tokens — a powerful preview into the possibilities of Web3 innovation.
