Ownership is [revoked](https://github.com/scaleton-co/token-contract/commit/dcbcbd6d79036b077070ccc013b32749a0bb7309), there will be no new tokens issued.

On the 2nd of May, 2024, we introduced DUST staking, funded by DeDust.io protocol fees.&#x20;

80% of this fee goes back to the pool as rewards for liquidity providers, and the remaining 20% is converted into DUST and distributed to stakers.

As an illustration, trading fee in the pool is 0.0025 (0.25%). Then, 0.002 (0.20%) of the trading volume goes to LP, and the rest 0.0005 (0.05%) is used for staking rewards.

$DUST (ex. $SCALE) is DeDust's native token.
