RISEx
Airdrop (Points Farming)

RISEx Season 1, branded Ignite, is designed to reward genuine trading activity on the venue rather than raw volume farming. A fixed pool of 200,000 points is distributed every week, split according to each trader's share of qualifying activity.

Notably, 100% of RISE points are allocated exclusively to RISEx users — traders, LPs, and builder-code integrators. There's no separate carve-out for external campaigns or partner ecosystems, which makes every point you earn a direct claim on the whole community allocation.

Distributions run weekly on Tuesdays, and points keep accruing for as long as you trade on the platform.

How points are calculated (and why nobody can tell you exactly)

The exact weighting formula changes every week and is deliberately not published, specifically to make the program harder to game. What the team has confirmed is the set of qualifying factors:

• Maker and taker volume;
• Open interest size and how long positions are held;
• Fees paid;
• Slippage incurred;
• Negative markouts;
• Higher-order measures of trading quality.

❗Important: This list is doing a lot of work. Metrics like slippage, negative markouts, and hold time are precisely the ones that separate real order flow from circular volume, they measure whether your trades actually moved risk and cost you something, not just whether the numbers went up.

Season 0 retroactive allocation

Users who traded during the invite-only pre-Ignite period already received a separate retroactive allocation - 1.6M points in total across that cohort. That window is closed and can't be farmed anymore, but if you were in the early access group, check your balance before assuming you're starting from zero.

Active trading farm

The intended path, and on this platform, the one that actually fits the scoring. Trade perps on RISEx and let the qualifying factors work in your favour: post maker orders to build volume while paying tighter fees, hold meaningful open interest across several days rather than flipping it hourly, and size positions where the book can actually absorb them.

Because the pool is fixed at 200,000 points per week and split by share of activity, your reward depends on what everyone else is doing, not on an absolute milestone. Quiet weeks are cheap weeks.

Referrals

Referrers earn an extra 10% of the points generated by the users they invite. Since it's a percentage of their output rather than a flat bonus, one active trader you bring in is worth more than a dozen dormant sign-ups.

Good Luck! 🍀
