**2025**

- [5454054-006](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/5454054-006) [mechanism/argued] -- Because LER requires no lock-up of the underlying equity or token, it increases liquidity and reduces sell pressure on the underlying asset, unlike conventional staking-style loyalty schemes.
  > But, LER does not require lock-ups for the underlying equity or token assets, thus increasing liquidity and reducing sell pressure on the underlying equity or token assets.

- [5454054-007](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/5454054-007) [mechanism/argued] -- LER adapts DeFi liquid staking to e-commerce by paying consumptive utilities instead of speculative yields, and it is this substitution of consumption for yield that mitigates volatility risk.
  > This LER mechanism derives in part from DeFi liquid staking, where users earn yields without sacrificing tradability of the underlying asset, but LER adapts it to e-commerce ecosystems by focusing on consumptive utilities rather than speculative yields, thus mitigating volatility risks.

- [5583610-008](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/5583610-008) [mechanism/argued] -- Reward accrual scales with holding duration, for example thirty to ninety day windows, which encourages prolonged ownership in the same way DeFi liquid staking yields encourage retention, but without locking up the shareholder's ability to sell.
  > Similar to how DeFi liquid staking leverages yields to encourage retention, these payments increase over time based on holding durations (for example, 30–90 days), encouraging prolonged ownership without locking up liquidity.
