How we discount token rewards

We do not take a headline cashback percentage at face value when the reward is paid in a token rather than cash or a stablecoin, because that reward is a variable subsidy the issuer can reprice or that can simply lose value against the dollar. The worked math for Plasma One:

  1. 1. Headline cashback: 10%
  2. 2. Reward risk class: native-token → haircut multiplier 0.40 (stablecoin/fiat = 1.00, mixed = 0.70, native-token = 0.40)
  3. 3. Risk-adjusted rate = 10% × 0.40 = 4.00%
  4. 4. On $1,000 of monthly spend that is $40.00 of durable value, versus $100.00 of headline value that assumes the token reward never depreciates.

The 0.40 and 0.70 multipliers are deliberately conservative judgement calls, not a market-derived number — treat them as a floor on how much of the headline rate to trust, not a precise forecast.

Incident history and issuer risk

No publicly reported incidents on record as of 2026-08.

A double-digit headline rate paid in a new chain's native token is a customer-acquisition subsidy. Model the reward at the token's realistic future price, not today's.

Plasma One, answered

+ Is the Plasma One headline rate the rate I will actually get?

Only if the reward is paid in stablecoins or fiat. Any reward paid in the issuer's own token is a subsidy that can be repriced or lose value, so the honest number is the risk-adjusted rate, not the headline one.

+ What happens if Plasma One's issuer runs into trouble?

Read the custody model: a custodial card's balance sits on the issuer's books and is exposed to issuer insolvency; a self-custodial card removes that risk but adds smart-contract and key-recovery risk instead.
