SFS Options are advanced financial instruments on the SFScoop platform that let you buy SFS tokens at a fixed strike price — currently $0.50 per 1 SFS.

 

Over the lifetime of the SFS option, the total exercise amount decreases due to the option APY, meaning the longer you hold it, the cheaper your final SFS purchase becomes.

 

SFS Options combine Lock & Earn rewards with the flexibility of traditional options, making them a powerful DeFi tool for long-term SFS investors.

 

How SFS Options Work

• Buy an SFS Option. Choose an amount and duration, then pay 20% upfront at the current market price of SFS tokens plus a SFScoop entry fee.

• Hold and Earn. Your option accumulates daily compounding Option rewards (APY) throughout its duration.

• Exercise and Save. When your Option rewards unlock, exercise the SFS option at the strike price to purchase SFS tokens at a significantly reduced total cost.

 

The longer you hold your SFS Option, the more rewards you earn — and the lower your effective price per token.

 

Every SFS Option includes:

• Upfront payment
• Exercise payment
• Strike price
• Duration
• APY (Annual Percentage Yield)
• Entry and exit platform fees

 

A. UPFRONT PAYMENT

 

To open an SFS option, you pay 20% of the total SFS option amount at the current market price of SFS tokens.

 

This small initial investment gives you exposure to potential price increases without committing the full amount upfront.

 

B. ENTRY PLATFORM FEE

 

A one-time SFScoop fee charged when purchasing an SFS option. The fee usually ranges between $0.50 and $2.00, depending on the selected amount and duration.

 

C. EXIT PLATFORM FEE

 

A one-time SFScoop fee applied when exercising an SFS option to prevent market abuse. It consists of:

 

• Base fee: between $0.50 and $2.00
• Dynamic fee: charged only if the market SFS token price exceeds the strike price, calculated as:

 

$$\text{DynamicFee} = (\text{MarketPrice} - \text{StrikePrice}) \times 0.8 \times \text{OptionAmount} \times \text{HoldingFactor}$$

 

The holding factor gradually decreases as the option matures:

• 1.0 at purchase
• 0.0 when Options rewards unlock

 

This mechanism rewards long-term holders and discourages early liquidation.

 

D. STRIKE PRICE

 

The strike price defines the cost per SFS token when the option is exercised. All current SFS Options are executed at $0.50 per 1 SFS token.

 

This fixed price provides predictability and downside protection against market volatility.

 

E. DURATION

 

The duration represents the lifetime of your SFS option. Once the duration ends, the option expires and can no longer be exercised.

 

Longer durations offer:

• Higher APY
• More Option reward compounding
• Greater price reduction at exercise

 

F. SFS OPTION APY

 

The Option APY determines the rate at which your Option rewards accumulate over time. Option Rewards are calculated daily using the compounding formula and credited to the SFS Option balance.

 

$$Rewards = Total \times ((1 + APY)^{\frac{Hours}{8760}} - 1)$$

 

Where:

• Total — the combined value of the SFS Option amount and Options rewards.
• APY — the annual percentage yield (in decimal form, e.g., 0.12 for 12%)
• Hours — the elapsed time in hours since the last Option reward (typically 24 hours)

 

10 days before expiration, Option rewards become unlocked.

 

When you exercise the SFS option, unlocked Option rewards are deducted from the exercise payment, reducing your total purchase cost. Rewards continue accruing after unlocking until expiration.

 

This system ensures that holding an option to maturity provides maximum benefit to the user.

 

G. SFS OPTION EXPIRATION

 

Once an SFS Option expires, it can no longer be exercised. At expiration, both the upfront payment and Option rewards are retained by SFScoop.

 

To benefit fully, exercise your SFS option before expiration once Option rewards unlock.
