Benqi and xQI

How does Vector's xQI program work?

Vector Finance has devised a strategic partnership with Benqi, which enables users to maximize the potential of their Qi tokens. Here's how our seamless integration works to benefit you:

  1. Token Conversion and Yield Optimization: You start by converting your Qi tokens to xQI directly on the Vector platform. This process is not only straightforward but also opens the door to the only yield potential for QI on Avalanche.

  2. Earning veQI: The converted Qi tokens are then utilized within the Benqi ecosystem to accumulate veQI, which is essentially Qi in a vote-escrowed form. Holding veQI confers great advantages, including increased governance power within the Benqi platform, delegate power, and earning more rewards for our nodes from those delegations.

  3. Boosting AVAX Delegation: With the veQI acquired, Vector Finance leverages its increased voting power to strategically delegate AVAX to our nodes. The rewards distributed to xQI stakers come from these AVAX delegations.

  4. Reward Distribution: The AVAX staked on our nodes generates rewards. These are then distributed to you, the xQI stakers, as a form of passive income. It's a way of ensuring that your investment continues to work for you.

  5. VTX Emissions and Additional Benefits: As an xQI staker, you're not only earning from AVAX rewards but also from VTX emissions. VTX is Vector's native token, and holding xQI entitles you to a share of these emissions, which can add a significant boost to your investment yield.

By engaging with our Benqi integration, you're tapping into a sophisticated yield-generating mechanism. You're not just investing; you're actively participating in a system designed to grow your assets through strategic staking and rewards distribution. Note: A minimal portion of these staking rewards is allocated for operational expenses and the continuous improvement of our infrastructure. This fee is vital for maintaining high-performance services and ensuring the security of your assets.
