Torque Rewards
Torque implements a flow-based rewards system that creates natural value loops where TORQ tokens are earned through real economic activity rather than artificial incentives. This makes TORQ a byproduct of useful actions, not a speculative asset, ensuring sustainable tokenomics and long-term ecosystem growth.
FX Trading Rewards
Earn 0.25% of trade volume in TORQ tokens for every FX trade you make. Trading is the core use case of Torque, making these rewards feel organic and natural. As you build volume, you'll qualify for tier multipliers that boost all your rewards across the ecosystem.
Payment Processing Rewards
Earn 0.1% of payment volume in TORQ for processing payments through TorquePayments. Whether you're making crypto-to-crypto payments, donations, or using BNPL services, you'll earn rewards for every transaction processed through the Torque ecosystem.
Liquidity Provision Rewards
Earn 0.5% of your provided liquidity in TORQ tokens. Liquidity providers directly enable the ecosystem and receive the highest activity score points (+15), making this one of the most valuable ways to contribute to and earn from the Torque protocol.
Staking Rewards
Earn 1% of your staked TORQ amount (scaled by lock duration) for participating in governance. Staking aligns your interests with protocol success and provides voting power in important protocol decisions while earning additional rewards.
Cross-Chain Rewards
Earn 0.75% of cross-chain volume for bridging assets across different blockchain networks. Cross-chain operations are essential for ecosystem expansion and receive high activity score points (+12) for their strategic importance.
Referral Rewards
Earn 2% of referred users' activity when you bring new participants to Torque. This creates organic growth through user networks and rewards community building. Referral rewards apply to all activities including trading, payments, and liquidity provision.
Volume Bonus Rewards
High-volume users receive a 0.05% bonus on total volume across all activities. This rewards power users who drive the most value to the ecosystem and encourages continued engagement with the platform.
Volume Tiers & Multipliers
Progress through volume-based tiers that provide multipliers on all rewards: Bronze (1.0x), Silver (1.25x at $10k+), Gold (1.5x at $100k+), Platinum (2.0x at $1M+), and Diamond (3.0x at $10M+). Higher tiers provide significant bonuses on all reward categories.
Activity Scoring System
Build an Activity Score (0-1000) based on engagement: liquidity provision (+15), cross-chain operations (+12), FX trading (+10), staking (+8), payment processing (+5), and referrals (+3). Higher scores provide bonus rewards: 800+ (0.5%), 600+ (0.3%), 400+ (0.15%), 200+ (0.05%). Scores decay over time to encourage consistent engagement.
Getting Started
Begin with FX trading to earn your first TORQ tokens and build volume toward Silver tier for 25% bonus rewards. Diversify your activity by trying payments, liquidity provision, and staking to maximize your activity score. Engage consistently to maintain high scores and refer friends to earn 2% of their activity.
