**How about staking MET and earn protocol fee?** This would increase the buy pressure for the token and avoid any dumps. It also creates a good utility for the token, it rewards the users and make people keep DLMM. CC @soju ---

I also think is a good idea. Maybe met can be incoroporated outside of the US, like how hyperliquid is incorporated in the Cayman Islands 😉 ---

**Orderly** 60% of Orderly protocol fees are paid directly to ORDER stakers. **Elys Network** Stake ELYS token or provide liquidity you earn USDC from protocol fees collected, as well as EDEN . **Convergent** If you Stake CVGT you earn fees generated by the protocol (issuance + redemption fees) on a pro-rata basis. ---

This is a good idea, I think people might hold to long because of fee generated from $Met token. ---

this would align met token more with the performance of meteora as a business vs being a pure governance token but not sure about the legality etc. behind it? ---

The you mean the whole protocol fee or $met tokens fee because how did team want to make profit if community is also sharing from protocol fee maybe 20% of protocol fee should be use to buyback $Met and burn it annually or every 6month. ---

This could create more buying from the investors and community. ---

You mean the protocol fee for the stakers unlike the LP users in USDC or SOL, hell yeahhhhhhhh, I just posted detailed information of my thought in the TGE thread here - [POST TGE IDEAS](https://proposals.meteora.ag/t/requesting-for-post-tge-ideas/2127/14)
