Mainnet Campaigns
Notice: As of May 24th 2026 12:00am GMT, StandX Trader, Maker & Holder point emission rates have been adjusted. The rates shown on this page are the current, latest rates. The Maker Uptime Program is not affected by this change.
Trader Campaign
As of December 10th 2025, the grand Mainnet Trading Points campaign is live. The more you trade the more points you earn. In conjunction with Binance Wallet, all Binance Wallet users will get 10% Bonus Points for 4 weeks until January 7th.
Holders of DUSD who do not trade will still earn holder points and auto-yield rewards. Past active trades on StandX will be honored with retroactive points and future trading will continue to build your points stack. More details follow soon.
As with earlier campaigns, DUSD must sit in your Perps Wallet or the Vaults to earn yield and points. DUSD in the Cash Wallet or elsewhere does not count.
Maker Campaign
Maker Points
StandX is the first perps DEX to award points for users placing limit orders that do not execute as trades. Maker Points reward you for placing limit orders on the orderbook, even if they don’t execute. Orders must remain on the orderbook for over 3 seconds to earn points. This means you can earn points with zero trading risk — if your limit order does not execute, you have no trading exposure.
We use a linear gradient system for Maker Points — the closer your order is to the mark price, the higher your point multiplier. No more clustering at band edges. Every basis point closer is rewarded.
Point Multiplier Bands (based on distance from mark price):
- 0–10 bps: 100% → 40%
- 10–30 bps: 40% → 12.5%
- 30–100 bps: 12.5% → 0%
The multiplier scales smoothly within each band — no cliffs, no sudden drops. The tighter you quote, the more you earn.
Examples:
BTC mark price is $90,000. You post a 1 BTC maker order:
| Distance from Mark | Multiplier | Points per Day |
|---|---|---|
| 2 bps ($89,982) | 88% | 79,200 |
| 5 bps ($89,955) | 70% | 63,000 |
| 10 bps ($89,910) | 40% | 36,000 |
| 20 bps ($89,820) | 26.25% | 23,625 |
| 50 bps ($89,550) | 8.95% | 8,036 |
Note:
- If your order is partially filled, points continue to accrue on the remaining resting portion.
- The mark price updates in real-time. Place orders slightly tighter than the band edge to stay within range as price moves.
- Actual distance thresholds may be adjusted to reflect market conditions.
Community Maker Yield
The Maker Uptime Program has been upgraded into Community Maker Yield, the next generation of StandX order book incentives introduced in SIP-5A. The mechanism you already know stays the same. Two things change: rewards are now paid daily rather than from a monthly pool, and they can be paid in DUSD, in platform token allocation, or in both at once.
While the platform token is not yet live, makers earn both: platform token allocation accrues as daily entries, and DUSD rewards are distributed under the campaign rules. The reward mix can shift over time with market conditions.
How to earn: place maker orders on both sides of the orderbook within 10 bps of the mark price and maintain at least 30 minutes of uptime per hour. The closer your orders sit to the mark price, the more they count, up to a 2× proximity weight at the tightest spreads. With the 20 BTC cap per side, you can earn up to 10 Maker Hours per hour, now settled daily. Track your eligible hours at https://standx.com/point, and read the full mechanism in SIP-5A: Community Maker Yield.
Loser Points
From January 14th 00:00 UTC until present all realized losses will earn points at a rate of 5 Loser Points for every 1 USD of realised losses. As a result of volatile market conditions we are running this campaign to reward traders who are still standing despite setbacks.
Daily Trading Points
‘Perps Daily Trade’ points earned traders an additional 10 bonus points per UTC day by placing 2+ trades totalling 100+ DUSD. This event ended on 5th February 2026 00:00 UTC.
Holder Campaign
The Mainnet Holder Points campaign ran from the launch of Mainnet on November 24th.
Note: DUSD holders still earn points in future trading campaigns.
Holder Points
Earning points on Mainnet will followed a similar system to Alpha Points. One key difference being that DUSD holders earned points by holding DUSD in their wallets even without trading.
Points breakdown:
- Earn 0.6 point per DUSD per day
- DUSD must be transferred to your Perps Wallet (or Vault) to begin earning points
- Complete 2 orders per UTC day with minimum 100 DUSD total trading value for 5 extra daily points
- Liquidity Provision (on PancakeSwap and Raydium) rewards:
- DUSD → 0.5 point/day
- USDT → 0.6 points/day
- Swap rewards → 2.5%
⚠️ Note: DUSD auto-yields in the background 24/7, but only when transferred to your Perps Wallet will it earn points and yield. DUSD in the Cash Wallet will not accrue yield.
Historical Events
The following incentives were active during previous phases of the Mainnet Campaign. They are documented here for archival purposes.
From Alpha to Mainnet
Alpha proved traders want a Perps DEX where the house stays delta neutral and yield on margin is the default. Community feedback showed traders enjoyed Alpha on Testnet with tDUSD. It was play money, so there were no real losses, and the 50% ‘Special Protection Floor Points’ were guaranteed even if tDUSD losses/liquidation occurred. Meanwhile Standers earned 24/7 passive yield on DUSD with no staking required.
But that was the warm up. Mainnet is now live, and the money is real. Key Alpha to Mainnet transition details include:
- Alpha is now closed and Testnet tDUSD discontinued
- Your Alpha Points are locked in
- DUSD deposits are unlocked Thursday November 27th
- Your deposited DUSD can be found in your Perps Wallet and used to trade
- The new Mainnet Holder Points phase has begun
Thanksgiving Boost
Thanksgiving is an opportunity to show gratitude to Standers through boosting points for two weeks from November 27th to December 11th 2025.
Points boosted from 1.2x points multiplier per DUSD daily to 1.5x. Vaults also went live for Thanksgiving and also qualified for the same 1.5x points boost.
Point Halving
On May 24th 2026 at 12:00am GMT, StandX completed its first Point Halving Event. All Trader, Maker, and Holder point emission rates were reduced to 50% of their previous levels.
Scope of the halving:
- Trader Points — emission rate halved
- Maker Points — multiplier bands and per-order emissions halved
- Holder Points — DUSD holding, daily trade bonus, and Liquidity Provision rewards halved
Not affected:
- Maker Uptime Program — proximity weighting and Maker Hours accrual were not affected by the halving. The program has since been upgraded to daily Community Maker Yield under SIP-5A.
Why halve? Halving keeps point emissions sustainable as DUSD on the platform grows, and preserves the value of points already earned at pre-halving rates.
All rates shown elsewhere on this page reflect post-halving levels.
