What is GRVT Membership?
GRVT Membership is a tiered program that rewards you for holding GRVT tokens. There are four tiers: Basic, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. The more tokens you commit and the longer you commit them, the higher your tier and the better your benefits.
Your subscription applies at the funding account level, and your benefits extend to all trading accounts under it.
Behind the scenes
GRVT Membership is powered by staking. When you subscribe, your GRVT tokens are locked (staked) for your tier's duration, and your benefits, including yield, come from this stake. You don't need to manage anything yourself; you simply choose a tier, lock your tokens, and your subscription activates.
Membership Tiers
Your tier is determined by two things: how many tokens you lock and how long you lock them for. You must meet both the minimum amount and the minimum duration for a tier.
Tier | Min. Lock Amount (GRVT) | Min. Duration | Fee Tier | GLP Access |
Basic | 1 | 1 week | 1 (Base tier) | None |
Silver | 2,500 | 1 month | 2 | 25% |
Gold | 10,000 | 3 months | 3 | 50% |
Platinum | 50,000 | 6 months | 4 | 100% |
A few things to know:
You can lock more than the tier minimum.
You can lock for longer than the tier minimum.
Benefit values (fee discounts, GLP allocations) may be adjusted by the platform at any time. Your membership is tied to your tier, not to a fixed snapshot of benefits.
Your Benefits
Trading Fee Discounts
Your tier includes a fee tier upgrade that applies to all trading fees, on both perps and spot.
The discount does not stack with existing volume-based fee tiers or any other fee incentives you've unlocked.
It stays active for as long as you hold your tier.
GLP Access
Higher tiers unlock access to the Gravity Liquidity Provider (GLP) without needing to meet trading volume requirements. This means you can participate in GLP even if you don't actively trade.
What the GLP access percentage means: it's the share of your total aggregated account equity that you can invest in GLP. For example, 25% GLP access means you can invest up to 25% of your total aggregated account equity in GLP; 100% means you can invest all of it.
There are two ways to qualify for GLP:
Lifetime trading volume (the existing path)
Membership tier
You automatically get whichever path grants you more access. The two paths are not additive.
Note
If your lock expires while you still have funds in GLP above what your trading volume alone would allow, you must withdraw from GLP before you can end your subscription.
How Your Subscription Works
Subscribing
Choose the tier you want and the amount of GRVT to lock. The lock duration is set by the tier you select.
Confirm. Your tokens become non-tradable for the lock period.
Your tier benefits activate immediately.
You can have one active subscription at a time.
Adding more tokens (topping up)
Tokens you acquire later are not automatically added to your subscription. They sit unlocked.
When you top up:
The new tokens are locked until the end of your current lock period. Topping up does not reset or extend your lock.
Upgrading your tier
You can upgrade to a higher tier at any time by topping up enough tokens to meet the next tier's minimum.
Upgrading starts a fresh lock period at the new tier's minimum duration. For example, upgrading from Silver (1 month) to Platinum starts a new 6-month lock.
You do not need to end your subscription and subscribe again to upgrade.
Moving to a lower tier
There is no direct downgrade. To move to a lower tier, you need to:
Unlock your full position (available after your lock period ends)
Wait out the 7-day cooldown
Subscribe again at the tier you want
Unlocking and withdrawing
There is no early unlock. If you lock for 3 months, your tokens stay locked for 3 months.
After your lock period ends, your tokens do not unlock automatically. You keep your tier and all benefits for as long as you leave your tokens locked.
When you choose to unlock, you must unlock your entire position. Partial unlocks are not supported.
On unlock, your tier and benefits end immediately, and your tokens enter a 7-day cooldown before they become tradable.
After the cooldown, use the withdraw button to move your tokens back to your funding account.
Changing your mind (cancelling cooldown)
If you start the unlock cooldown and change your mind, you can cancel it any time before you withdraw, even after the 7 days have passed. Cancelling restores your tier and benefits immediately. From there you can keep your tier, upgrade, or start a new cooldown (which resets the 7-day timer).
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I keep my tier if the requirements change?
Yes. If the platform raises a tier's minimum amount after you've subscribed, you keep your tier until you unlock. Similarly, if a tier's lock duration changes, your original unlock date does not move. New requirements only apply to new subscriptions.
Can my benefits change while I'm subscribed?
Yes. Fee discounts and GLP allocations are platform-configurable and can be adjusted at any time. Changes apply to everyone in the affected tier. Your lock duration is the exception: it can never be extended after you've subscribed.
Can I trade my tokens while they're locked?
No. Locked tokens are non-tradable until you complete the unlock process, including the 7-day cooldown.
Can I have multiple subscriptions at different tiers?
No. You have one subscription. To change tiers, top up to upgrade, or unlock and subscribe again to downgrade.
What happens to my GLP position when my lock expires?
Nothing changes as long as you keep your tokens locked; you keep your tier and GLP access. If you want to unlock but your GLP position depends on your membership tier, you'll need to withdraw from GLP first.
