What is DPX?

What is rDPX?
rDPX is the dopex rebate token that gets distributed to pool writers. Read more at DopexAcademy.​
How to value rDPX?
rDPX doesn't have a supply cap since rebates are impossible to predict. There are a few use cases for the token to ensure it holds its value, such as 
rDPX/WETH LP token is usable for DPX farming.
rDPX will be a fee requirement for future contracts built over dopex, like say vaults.
rDPX would be used as collateral for synths, which could be used to create synthetic options for non-crypto assets.
Fees collected with staking DPX could be boosted with rDPX.
The token would also have deflationary properties within the protocol, to balance supply.
