Points and Rewards
How TRUE Points are earned on swaps and perps, what the multipliers actually do today, and why points are not a token.
What points are
Points reward using the product. They are not a token, not transferable between accounts, and not a claim on anything. They are a score, and what a season’s score is worth is announced by the project rather than implied here.
How they are earned
Two surfaces earn, and they are measured differently on purpose.
| Surface | Earns |
|---|---|
| Swaps | 119 points per $100 swapped |
| Perps | 100 points per $1 of trading fee paid |
Swaps are measured on volume because that is what a swap is. Perps are measured on fees, not on notional, which is the more important design choice: it means leverage does not inflate your score. Opening a $10,000 position at 50x pays the fee of a $10,000 position, and earns the points of a $10,000 position. Turning the leverage up does not multiply your points, it only multiplies your risk.
Because perp points track fees, a maker and a taker doing the same notional earn differently: the maker pays a fifth of the fee, so they earn a fifth of the points. That is the system working as designed, not a bug.
Multipliers
The config carries several multipliers, and honesty requires saying what they are set to rather than describing the machinery as though it were active.
| Multiplier | Status today |
|---|---|
| Hold bonus (rewards holding a position rather than scalping) | 1x, no effect |
| Launch turbo | inactive |
| Long-tail boost (non-majors) | 1x, no effect |
| Volume tier multiplier (Standard through Platinum) | 1x at every tier |
| Cap on any combined multiplier | 2.5x |
Today every one of them is neutral, so what you earn is the base rate above. When one is switched on it gets announced, and this page changes with it.
Volume tiers exist for points and are a different system from the fee levels that decide your trading rebate. Same 30-day window, different ladder, different purpose. Fee levels are on Fees and Rebates.
Fair play
Wash trading, self-matching, and referral rings are detected and the points are taken back. We do not publish the detection thresholds, for the obvious reason. If you think a reversal was wrong, your points history carries a reason on every row, and that row is what support needs to look at it.
Selling or trading referral links outside sanctioned channels is grounds for reversal and account-level enforcement.
Reading your balance
Your points history shows every credit and debit with a reason. Campaigns publish their own rules before they run, and expired ones drop off automatically.
