The fee token.
Not the product.
Hold $VERGE to step down Verge's 0.5% settlement fee — all the way to zero at Partner tier. No staking. No lock-ups. Checked live at each settlement.
The only $VERGE contract is the address above. Any other address, presale, or pool claiming to be $VERGE is not ours.
Hold more, pay less.
Tier is checked live at each settlement — the $VERGE balance in your wallet at the moment of payment determines the fee. Nothing is locked. Sell the token and your tier drops.
Thresholds are fixed at launch. Balance is read on-chain at settlement time — no registration or staking needed.
- ✓Steps down the 0.5% protocol fee on every settled payment as your tier increases.
- ✓Unlocks higher marketplace endpoint quotas at Builder tier and above.
- ✓Revenue-funded buybacks: a share of protocol fees buys $VERGE on the open market.
- ✓Signals builder commitment — balance is checked live at each settlement, nothing is locked or staked.
- ×No gate on the product. Every Verge feature works at 0 $VERGE; tiers only discount fees.
- ×No staking, no lock-ups, no emissions. Yield comes from your settled USDG, not token inflation.
- ×No governance claim and no revenue share. Buybacks are discretionary, funded by real protocol revenue.
- ×Not a security. $VERGE is not a deposit, a bond, or a promise of return.
The token follows the revenue.
Verge's revenue is protocol fees on settled payments first, marketplace volume second. A share of that revenue funds market buybacks of $VERGE — paid for by real product usage, not by inflation. The product ships first; the token follows the revenue.
Every x402 settlement through Verge's facilitator carries a 0.5% protocol fee (less for tier holders).
Fee revenue starts from day one. No token inflation, no emissions, no points-to-token conversion.
A portion of fee revenue buys $VERGE on the open market. Not a promise of return — a product-funded mechanism.
Buy $VERGE. Pay less. Build more.
Available on the Pons bonding curve on Robinhood Chain. Connect a wallet, buy $VERGE, and your gateway fee steps down automatically on the next settlement.
