# Business model

The platform’s primary token is the [DEST](/whitepaper/information/tokens.md#delirium-token-details) token, which is freely traded on the market. This token is issued by staking the second token – [IDS](/whitepaper/information/tokens.md#delirium-token-details-1),

The main activity of the Dest platform is the financing of decentralized startups ([crowdfunding](/whitepaper/information/dao-and-crowdfunding.md)). The main tool for this is the IDS token. Investors use it for staking in favor of startups, receiving interest for this, which is divided between the investor and the startup 50/50.

The IDS token has a constantly growing exchange rate – **15% per month**. It is backed by a [fund](/whitepaper/information/tokenomics.md) and holders can sell it at any time to the platform at the current rate.

There is only one way to get IDS – farming the DEST/BUSD liquidity pool. When farming IDS, users will increase the liquidity pool, thereby strengthening and stabilizing the DEST token rate.

The emission of DEST is limited, the main part of the tokens is frozen and goes into circulation in the form of a reward for staking IDS in favor of startups.

Both tokens are interconnected, the IDS token is in demand, as it is an ever-growing asset, and also brings additional income in the form of rewards for staking in the DEST token and startup cryptocurrency.
