# Tokenomics

$HOME is the native token of the Defi App ecosystem, powering a unique flywheel combining protocol activity, governance rights, and platform benefits for stakers.

## Token Utility

Learn about $HOME in the Defi App ecosystem.

### Bonus $HOME for Season 1 Stakers

Users who chose to stake their airdrop at the time of claim were eligible for bonus $HOME. Staking the full airdrop allocation for a duration of 12 months gave a 100% $HOME bonus.&#x20;

### Gas Abstraction

Defi App enables seamless on-chain activity without native gas tokens by leveraging $HOME for gas abstraction. Through [ERC-4337](https://www.erc4337.io/docs) smart account infrastructure, users can execute transactions across any supported chain using only $HOME in their wallet.

When a user holds only $HOME (no ETH, SOL, or other native gas assets), Defi App’s treasury automatically purchases $HOME from the user at open market rates and uses that $HOME to subsidize gas fees on their behalf. This process abstracts complexity for the user while introducing net buying pressure for the token.

This system removes a major friction point for new users and establishes $HOME as a functional medium of exchange within the protocol. It reinforces protocol-token alignment and ensures $HOME plays an integral role in powering real economic activity across the app.

Real-time usage of $HOME for gas abstraction is visible on-chain via our[ staking contract](https://basescan.org/address/0xC9714F8f036087d801f38C4105194e150d3a1864#tokentxns).

### XP Multipliers

Users who lock $HOME can activate up to a 3x multiplier on XP gains, depending on the chosen duration. The longer you lock, the more XP you can earn when you use Defi App day-to-day.&#x20;

Any action, including swaps, perps trades, and deposits, generates significantly more XP for stakers.

Season 2 XP may be a qualifying criteria for future $HOME airdrops.&#x20;

### Governance

$HOME stakers have governance rights to help co-create the future of Defi App. Stakers can vote on revenue sharing models, like token buybacks or yield to $HOME stakers, and on which feature comes next for the platform.

Protocols may buy and stake $HOME to accelerate their own integrations to Defi App.

### The $HOME Flywheel

Here’s how protocol activity and incentives are designed to support usage and token utility (pending ongoing governance discussions and approvals):

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Users join Defi App to trade, swap, and farm across any chain.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Each user action generates protocol fees.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Governance determines how fees are used, including potential buybacks or incentives.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
$HOME stakers may receive protocol benefits; protocols can lock $HOME for visibility.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Reduced token availability and governance-driven rewards may drive continued participation.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Buyback Mechanism

The protocol uses 80% of net fee revenue (after operational costs) to buy and hold HOME tokens in the DAO treasury reserves.

Using the majority of net fee revenue to buy $HOME allows the DAO strategic flexibility for future initiatives and signals a commitment to the long-term value of the protocol.

Buybacks pause if treasury value falls below $2M to ensure a six-month operational runway. Execution is managed by the **Executive Operations Working Group** with transparent reporting and safeguards in place to maintain protocol sustainability and regulatory alignment.

For more details on the buyback mechanism, see [DIP-004](https://snapshot.box/#/s:defi.app/proposal/0x7244e17449663fce4bcde5b39a0bf896e80323c173882e1d4ec8b82d1e972a80).
