Market makers

Liquidity rewards

Planned

A program that distributes additional rewards to market makers who provide useful liquidity. The rewards program is planned, not yet running.

Planned, not live

The mechanics below describe how the program will work when it launches. Maker rebates exist today and accrue automatically; rewards are a separate, future addition.

Program shape

Rewards are scored daily and paid weekly. Eligibility is broader than the formal Market Maker agreement โ€” any account meeting baseline thresholds can earn rewards.

  • Pool sized monthly by the platform and announced ahead of time.
  • Score computed daily; rewards distributed weekly by share of score.
  • Designed to favor consistent, tight, two-sided quoting over volume farming.

Score formula

Four inputs go into the score. Weights below are illustrative and will be finalized at launch; final weights and any market-specific multipliers will be published in the changelog.

InputWeightWhat it measures
Time at top of book 40% Minutes spent with a resting order at the best bid or ask.
Depth provided 30% Notional resting close to mid across the day.
Spread tightness 20% Average spread on your two-sided quotes, smaller is better.
Quote uptime 10% Percentage of the market's trading hours with a resting quote on both sides.

All inputs are normalized per market before weighting, so quoting on quiet markets is not punished by raw volume comparisons.

Apply

Eligibility opens automatically when the program launches โ€” there is no separate application. The leaderboard will appear in the changelog and on the rewards page.
