# $RIVER

RIVER Token Address : 0xdA7AD9dea9397cffdDAE2F8a052B82f1484252B3

Every financial era is defined by what flows freely.

The age of trade was born when goods could cross borders. The internet age began when information moved without barriers. Today, as assets come on-chain, the question is whether value itself can flow freely.

$RIVER exists to make that possible. It is not just a token; it is alignment — between governance, yield, and growth.&#x20;

It connects liquidity providers, partners and ecosystems under one system where those who commit are those who shape the future.&#x20;

By staking $RIVER, you are not only claiming rewards, you are choosing to become part of the force that defines how value flows in the on-chain era.

### Staking

Staking $RIVER is the entry point to governance and value sharing.

| Staking Period | Voting Power ( multipliers ) |
| -------------- | ---------------------------- |
| 3 Months       | 1x                           |
| 6 Months       | 2x                           |
| 9 Months       | 3x                           |
| 12 Months      | 4x                           |

* Example: **1000 $RIVER staked for 12 months = 4000 voting power**.
* Staking options: 3, 6, 9, or 12 months.&#x20;
* longer lockups amplify governance weight and protocol benefits.

#### Protocol Governance

$RIVER token stakers will be able to vote on key protocol parameters, including:

* Collateral types & risk settings in the Omni-CDP
* Smart Vault & Prime Vault parameters : Staking Factor
* Chain expansion & deployment
* satUSD incentive emissions
* Treasury usage & ecosystem grants

#### Yield Boosting&#x20;

Staked $RIVER boosts protocol-level returns:

* Higher yield on satUSD+ via veRIVER
* Enhanced rewards for LPs and long-term stakers
* Contribution multipliers (1.2×–2×) in River4FUN

#### Reward distributions&#x20;

* Staking utility → reward distributions...&#x20;
* RIVER token distributions&#x20;
* satUSD staking reward distributions&#x20;

#### **Fee Utility**

Staking $RIVER will provide protocol benefits including:

* Reduced minting, redemption, and swap fees
* Priority access to limited campaigns and high-tier rewards
* Potential participation in governance-related airdrops or distributions

**RIVER stakers** gain governance rights, yield boosts, fee reductions, and priority access — with greater benefits unlocked through longer staking commitments.

#### Alignment

$RIVER ensures incentives move in the same direction:

* Governance → holders set direction
* Value accrual → stakers capture protocol revenue
* Incentives → creators, LPs, partners grow with the system

This alignment is what makes River sustainable: value flows to where it creates the most impact.
