Topic: Looking for a tokenomics advice for a new exchange! (Read 125 times)

I've met a guy, who's making a cryptocurrency exchange. They've been developing it for a couple of years and they've avoided going through ICO.
As far as i know, they are launching soon and the only choice left is the tokenomics. I've given them my opinion, but i beilive that the uderstading lies on a lot of opinions of daily crypto users and traders, so i've decided to give it a shot and ask you guys. The token itself will be used to have a discount on fees and, maybe, something else
Here are the options that they have:
1. They are giving out tokens as a return from paying fees, the price of the token is set by the company and the price is changing (from low to high) with each distributing phase every 2 months and capping at 5 months. The token will be listed immediatly at the exchange.
2. Token is listed immidiately and users are getting tokens as a return from paying fees, but the amount is determined by the tokens market price. The amount of tokens may be limited per day (not for every single person, but for the whole exchange) and they are given out proportionally (like the EOS ico) to the trade volume. ( as i understand this, for example, you are trading there right after launch and since there're few users, your trade volume is 30% of the whole day trading volume on this exchange, so you get 30% of all tokens for that day). And they will just devide the whole amount of tokens by 365 and will be giving out tokens for a whole year.

What do you think about these options? Wich one sounds better or can be way better with addition of something\changes?
