Cascade is a New York-based neo-brokerage platform engineered for 24/7 perpetual trading across crypto, U.S. equities, commodities, forex, and private assets. It delivers a unified margin account with direct USD onboarding via Bridge (backed by Stripe) and zero trading fees, backed by Polychain, Variant, Coinbase Ventures, and others.
The Cascade First Wave — widely known in the community as the Retrodrop — is an ongoing invite-only points farming program. Users earn permanent points through pre-allocations into the Cascade Liquidity Strategy (CLS), network referrals (up to 20% of invitees’ points), and now scaled trading volume incentives in the live Private Beta (rolled out April 2026). Points are tied to your account and expected to qualify participants for potential future token rewards upon TGE. No official reward pool size or distribution date has been announced.
The Cascade First Wave rewards program is invite-only with phased Private Beta access rolling out to selected users based on rank and application. Points are earned in three main ways: committing capital to the CLS (proportional to your share of total pre-allocated funds), executing perpetual trades on the platform (with incentives recently scaled up), and building your referral network (you earn up to 20% of points generated by everyone in your lineage).
Funds must be deposited into your Cascade account (via ACH, Wire, or Bridge stablecoin integration) and then pre-allocated into CLS to generate points during the pre-trading phase. Once in Private Beta, trading any supported perpetual markets (crypto, stocks, etc.) with leverage directly contributes to point accumulation. All points earned are permanently recorded and carry forward.
No KYC is required for early access, but participation involves real capital commitment for maximum points.
Good Luck! 🍀
