USDC for sLEO staking rewards on LeoDex comes from 100% of affiliate fees generated by platform trades (0.45% on swaps and perps via aggregated DEX protocols like those on Arbitrum). These fees flow directly into the sLEO smart contract daily, where they're pooled and distributed proportionally to all active LEO stakers as harvestable USDC rewards—no team cuts, just community-driven volume.

Rewards started paying out on Sep 24, 2025, and continue ongoing (no "start again" pause noted). Check real-time metrics and harvest at leodex.io/leo.

Big volume could indeed boost buys via POL (Protocol Owned Liquidity), which auto-compounds USDC earnings into LEO buybacks. Source: LeoFinance post.
