Discount Soulbound NFT
CAREL Protocol has a non-transferable (soulbound) NFT that gives holders fee discounts on protocol actions.
What Is It
The Discount Soulbound NFT is a tier-based NFT that cannot be sold or transferred. It is permanently linked to the wallet that minted it. Holders receive a discount on protocol fees (swap, limit order) based on their tier.
Discount applies only to the protocol fee — LP fees and relayer fees are not reduced.
Discount formula:
fee_after_discount = protocol_fee × (1 − discount_bps / 10,000)Tiers
There are 5 tiers. Higher tiers require more points but give larger discounts.
| Tier | Name | Discount | Points Required |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | Bronze Shield | Base discount | Lowest |
| Tier 2 | Silver Blade | Increased | — |
| Tier 3 | Gold Blade | Mid-range | — |
| Tier 4 | Platinum Blade | High | — |
| Tier 5 | Onyx Blade | Maximum | Highest |
Exact point costs are set on-chain and visible in the Rewards tab.
