Surge includes “linear discount curves” to cover some common use cases.
| Starting bonus | Average bonus | Use case |
|---|---|---|
| 400% | 101% | Angel and idea rounds. The 4X bonus is a strong motivator for early supporters. The token cost of 2X the final price is affordable compared with the normal terms and preferences offered to early investors. |
| 100% | 39% | Similar to the economics of a moving SAFE cap. |
| 5% | 2% | Syndicated loans and liquidity mining. |
| 0% | 0% | Fixed price deals that use Surge for marketing, escrow, compliance, and as-needed structuring. |
You can design your own incentives, such as GP stakes for funds, and reward tokens for liquidity mining.
