I don't want a points program choosing my trading venue for me. That's why @zerufinance November 4 Based announcement caught my attention. The team says Based trading activity can now earn Zaps, with account linking handled through a message signature and no linking fee. For someone already trading there, the appeal is straightforward: another way for their activity to count without moving to a different platform just for points. I like integrations that fit around a trader's existing workflow. The useful test is whether qualifying trades appear correctly and users can understand what gets counted. Execution quality still comes first for me. Spreads, fees and reliability matter on every trade. Points become a more credible extra when they don't need to be the reason for placing the order.
