$RUJI token explained — FAQ

Q: What is the RUJI token?
The RUJI token is the revenue-sharing token of the Rujira ecosystem. When you hold RUJI and stake it, you get a share of the income generated across all Rujira products.

Q: Why does RUJI have value?
Holding RUJI means earning a share of all revenue Rujira generates. It represents a long-term bet on the success and growth of the ecosystem.

Q: How does RUJI capture value?
Using Rujira’s products comes with a small fee, which differs per product. These fees are collected, converted to USDC and shared with everyone who stakes RUJI.

Q: Where does the staking yield come from?
Rujira apps generate real revenue from user activity. After covering THORChain’s share (typically 50%, but can be less in some cases), the remaining fees are converted to USDC and distributed to RUJI stakers.

Q: Is the RUJI token inflationary or deflationary?
RUJI has a fixed supply of 100 million tokens. There are no mechanisms that increase or decrease this number over time.

Q: How are fees split between Rujira and the THORChain’s Base Layer?
Normally, revenue is split 50/50 between core Rujira applications and THORChain’s base layer. However, apps that already support the base layer (for example, RUJI Swap, as it is already utilizing THORChain liquidity) keep 100% of their revenue, since they already pay the base layer fee and contribute to THORChain’s security budget this way.

Q: What staking options are available for RUJI?
You can choose between two ways to stake:

Single-sided staking with only RUJI.

Staking via the RUJI/RUNE Liquidity Pool (LP) tokens. This is not yet active, it requires making some changes to the base layer and will be enabled at a later point.

Q: What rewards do I get from staking RUJI?
It depends on how you stake:

• Standard RUJI staking: You earn rewards in USDC to be claimed manually.
• Auto-compounding staking: Your USDC rewards are used to automatically buy more RUJI and add it to your position.

Q: What will the staking APR/APY be?
The APR* (if using standard staking) or APY* (if using auto-compounding staking) will change based on several factors:

• The total revenue generated across all Rujira products;
• The revenue split between single-sided and LP staking (initially 50/50);
• How much RUJI is staked and how it is divided between both pools.

*APR (Annual Percentage Rate): your yearly non-compounded return rate.

*APY (Annual Percentage Yield): your yearly return rate including compounding.

Q: Can I stake RUJI directly from my wallet?
No. You can currently only stake RUJI through rujira.network/strategies/staking/RUJI.

Q: What are the benefits of staking RUJI?
Staking lets you earn a share of the fees generated by all Rujira products. It’s a simple way to benefit from the ecosystem’s growth.

Q: How long does it take to unstake RUJI?
You can unstake instantly at any time. There is no lock-up period.

Q: Does RUJI give governance rights?
No. RUJI is focused on revenue sharing and staking rewards. Governance is handled by the product teams in close collaboration with the community through X Spaces, dedicated feedback groups, polls, and more.

Q: Is RUJI listed on centralized exchanges?
Yes. RUJI is currently listed on Kraken, MEXC, and Bitrue. More listings will be added over time to increase accessibility of the token.
