PrimeXBT has partnered with a software development company Covesting to offer its users Covesting Copy-trading module accounts. COV token offers a user-centric model that provides unique incentive schemes for all the members of the Covesting ecosystem. To learn more about Covesting company and COV token utilities visit Covesting.io.
COV Staking on PrimeXBT offers major benefits for users of Covesting module: Followers of Copy-trading Strategies and Strategy managers. Activating a membership plan by depositing and staking COV tokens will unlock various levels of utility benefits, based on the amount of personal tokens staked.
COV tokens can also be used on PrimeXBT as collateral for leveraged trading on a Margin account or a copy-trading Strategy account denominated in COV.
Staking activates all of the following 4 utilities of the COV token. The offered level of benefits provided by each utility will depend on the obtained membership – Advanced, Premium or Elite:
This utility allows Followers to receive a 50% or a 100% discount on entry fees for all Followings.
Any Followings that are started while Premium or Elite COV membership is active will not be charged an entry fee. Followings that are started while Advanced COV membership is active will be charged a 0.5% entry fee instead of 1%.
This utility increases all Followings' profit share (by 5%, 10%, or 15%) in favor of the Follower by decreasing the platform's profit distribution share.
To deactivate a membership plan and unlock COV tokens a Follower must first close all active Followings.
Additionally COV Staking allows you to reduce trade fees on COV-denominated Margin accounts.
This utility automatically provides an unconditional 25% discount on trade fees on COV-denominated Margin trading accounts, and does not require activation of COV Membership.
A membership plan and the associated utilities will remain active until the membership is deactivated by the Covesting user.
To activate a COV membership plan, navigate to the 'My COV' page: 1. Choose your membership and click 'Activate' under the desired plan; 2. In the pop-up window, check the parameters of the selected membership plan – tokens to be locked and the utilities granted upon activation.
If you already have an active membership and wish to upgrade to a more advanced plan – simply click the 'Activate' button under the new membership plan to lock the remaining amount of tokens required for the new membership plan.
The upgrade is made at the current COV exchange rate: if your locked COV tokens have appreciated in value – the upgrade will be cheaper due to the increase in COV value (or even free in the case of significant increase of the token's price)
Downgrading a membership plan is not possible currently. To select a lesser membership plan, the currently active membership plan must first be deactivated.
