12. SURGE staking and fee tiers
Hold SURGE to earn ADA every epoch and pay lower trading fees, with no lockup.
Staking SURGE works differently from what you might expect. There's no lockup and nothing to send anywhere, because your SURGE stays in your wallet. Each epoch, Surge takes a time-weighted snapshot of your balance and pays ADA rewards based on it.

Your staking dashboard

Rewards history: every past epoch and what you earned in it
Tiers
The more SURGE you hold, the higher your tier. Each tier gives a bigger discount on the fees Surge charges on strategy trades, applied automatically. Higher tiers also let you run more arbitrage strategies at once. The tier cards on the Staking page show each tier's current benefits.

Good to know
Hold for the whole epoch. Rewards follow your time-weighted balance, so SURGE held all epoch counts for more than SURGE bought just before it ends.
Rewards arrive after the epoch finalizes. They show up under Claimable Now once the epoch closes.
Discounts apply automatically. There's nothing to switch on. Your tier lowers the Surge fee on every strategy trade.
