# IFO utility

IFO is built to be used inside InfraIO Pay. At TGE it has three uses.

> **Note:**
>
> **Coming soon.** Utility goes live at the token generation event (TGE).
> Fee discounts never reduce the effective fee below the **0.20% floor**.
> See [Pricing & fees](https://docs.infraio.xyz/en/concepts/pricing).

## Stake for a lower fee

Stake IFO to reduce the platform fee on your payments.

| Staked IFO | Platform fee discount |
| --- | --- |
| 1,000 IFO | −10% |
| 5,000 IFO | −20% |
| 20,000 IFO | −30% |

Unstaking has a **30-day cooldown**. The discount applies on top of your
volume tier.

## Pay fees with IFO

Pay your platform fees in IFO to get an extra **−20%** on the fee. This
stacks with staking and with prepaid credit, within the 0.20% floor.

## Rewards in IFO

Merchant and [referral](https://docs.infraio.xyz/en/concepts/referral) rewards can be paid in IFO.

## Your IFO balance

You can deposit IFO to and withdraw IFO from your InfraIO Pay account. This balance
is separate from [prepaid credit](https://docs.infraio.xyz/en/concepts/credit), which is not money and
cannot be withdrawn.
