How Prime works

01 · Stake

Build Effective Stake

Stake XVS in the XVS Vault. Each deposit counts its amount times the days it has been held — up to 90 — times a loyalty multiplier. Withdrawals come out of the newest deposits first.

02 · Rank

Make the top 500

The leaderboard moves all month. When the cycle closes, the 500th-highest Effective Stake becomes the bar: accounts above it get a Prime seat for the next cycle, and members who fell below it lose theirs.

03 · Earn

Supply or borrow

Members earn on Prime markets through a score that blends their staked XVS with their position there. A position counts only up to the value of their staked XVS times the market's multiplier.

Past $5.91K the position earns nothing extra: stake more XVS to raise the cap. Estimates come from PrimeLens for a member holding this position today, and move as other members' scores change. Earning them needs a seat in the top 500.

Not final yet

Earned is Prime's share of what the Protocol Share Reserve recorded in that UTC month: 40% of interest reserves and 20% of liquidations and other income, from the Core Pool, the isolated pools and Fixed Rate Vaults, valued at daily prices. Liquidity Hub fees, VAI, PSM and OEV receipts, and Venus Flux don't pass through the reserve. Allocated is what a proposal's reward speeds pay over 30 days; paid is what members accrued in the cycle, from the Venus API. A speed runs until the next proposal executes, so a cycle can pay a little more or less than its allocation.
