# 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.
