Introduction BSX Points — Season 1, the Cambrian Phase

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!
