Volume Rewards

Each week, there is a trading prize pool of 25,000 ARB. The incentive amount that each trader is entitled to receive is determined by their weekly trading fee contributions and tiers. In addition, there is no vesting period for rewards earned in this program. Traders may claim their ARB rewards at any time. Details are as follows:

Starting time: 18th June 2024, 00:00 (UTC)

Activity (Epoch) period: Every Tuesday 00:00:00 UTC to the next Monday 23:59:59 UTC, lasting 11 weeks

Reward Distribution Time: Rewards are issued every Tuesday around 08:00 (UTC). After the trader’s tier is updated, rewards will be calculated and distributed. Users have to claim their rewards within 7 days after the last epoch’s rewards are issued. If they do not, the platform will revoke the rewards.

Reward amount: For each epoch, there is a trading prize pool of 25,000 ARB. This prize pool is distributed according to traders’ weekly trading fee contribution and tiers.

Activity rules: Trading activity on APX Finance V2 (Arbitrum network), PancakeSwap Perp V2 (Arbitrum Network) and any APX V2 DEX Engine partners will qualify for the prize pool.

Tier Breakdown: Every Tuesday at 08:00:00 UTC, we calculate the trading data from the previous Tuesday 00:00:00 UTC to the current week’s Monday at 23:59:59 UTC, and update the trader’s Tier according to the rules. The Tier rules are as follows:

Note: The tier criteria and weights are subject to change based on overall trading activity on the platform. If the user’s volume is lower than 5K USD, no rewards could be claimed.

Rewards will be distributed equally across all traders who qualify for a certain tier.

Trading Rewards calculation formula: At the end of each trading epoch, the amount of $ARB rewards in that cycle will be calculated to determine the weightage and trading fee contribution for that cycle.

The formula for calculating each epoch’s reward amount is: r = R*W / sum(Wi)

The parameters are as follows:
