We’re excited to announce BSX Points, an incentivized points program for traders and market makers.

You can start earning points today by trading on BSX!

Why BSX Points?

Since our launch on Base mainnet on April 1, 2024, our community has been enthusiastic about trading on BSX. Within three weeks, we have achieved a total trading volume of over $275M. A huge shoutout to our community!

BSX Points are now a crucial part of our commitment to amplifying community engagement and rewarding loyalty. It’s designed to quantify and recognize participants for their growth contributions. Ultimately, we aim to strengthen the bonds between loyal BSX traders and the BSX platform.

Here’s How It Works

Traders participating in BSX Points can accrue points through two primary activities:

  • Trading: Deposit and trade frequently on BSX to earn points.
  • Referring: Refer a friend and receive additional points equal to 10% of the points your friend accumulates throughout the trading program. Your friend will earn a 10% boost in their trading points as well!

Check out the FAQ for more information.

Eligibility:

  • For the trading program, the specific number of points per trade can vary based on various factors, including the type of transaction, total trade volume, fee paid, open interest, etc. To prevent gamification and ensure fairness, the exact point methodology will not be disclosed until the end of the rewards program.
