# Partner discounts

Blocksquare’s infrastructure is being developed through funding secured from the DAO’s sale of its native token — BST. The Blocksquare Token is a digital asset that aligns incentives and identifies parties who share the DAO’s vision and long term goals. For this reason, marketplace operators who stake BST on Oceanpoint are eligible for incredible discounts when using Blocksquare’s infrastructure.

All that is required, is for a Certified Partner to purchase and stake BST to obtain sBST. The partner is then required to deposit the sBST into a multi-sig to confirm partner status. Our systems monitor the partner's multi-sig wallet for any discounts before issuing an invoice.

#### Staked BST (sBST)

The Governance token is the key component of Oceanpoint's first product — the BST staking pool. When users stake BST, Oceanpoint awards them with sBST, a token used by the community to vote on Oceanpoint related decisions.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.blocksquare.io/certified-partners/partner-network/partner-discounts.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
