Point Generation & Limits:
  • Base Earning: A benchmark of 10 USDT in Futures trading volume yields 1 base point.

  • Maximum Point Cap: There is no upper limit on point accumulation per individual.
Point Validity & Expiry:
  • Quarterly/Annual Accumulation: Points earned through trading rankings during any monthly competition can either be redeemed immediately or accumulated over time. Points earned during monthly competitions are valid for 90 days from issuance.

  • Scales up incrementally to 100,000,000 USDT volume for a 1.10 x Multiplier.

FAQ: 
  1. Who is eligible to earn Futures points in the competitions?
Futures Points are awarded based on your final position on the Individual Trading Contest leaderboard. To qualify, your account must rank within the top 100 or top 200 traders by total trading volume during an active monthly, quarterly, or annual competition cycle.
(Note: The exact rank cutoff depends on the specific leaderboard rules for each monthly contest. Standard trading volume that falls outside the qualifying ranks will not yield Futures Points.)
  1. Is there a maximum limit on how many points I can accumulate?
No, there is no upper limit on point accumulation per individual.
  1. When do my points expire, and what happens at the end of the year?
All Futures Points are valid for 90 days from the date they are credited. You can still carry over the valid points to the next year until the points are expired.
  1. How does the multiplier work? How do I earn more futures points?
To mark the launch of the program starting in October 2026, a special point multiplier system will be active during the inaugural quarter. As you reach specific trading volume milestones during the Individual Trading Contest, you unlock higher multiplier tiers. When the contest concludes, your unlocked multiplier boosts your final leaderboard point rewards!
Plus, your cumulative volume carries forward across the quarter! By re-enrolling in each monthly contest, you can keep building your total volume to reach even higher multiplier tiers before the quarterly volume resets.
  1. Will my accumulated trading volume also carry over until next quarter or next year?
No. Trading volume resets at the end of every quarter (March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31).
  1. What can I redeem with my points right now?
You can instantly redeem your points for Futures Airdrop Vouchers and Futures Deduction Vouchers in the Points Center. Alternatively, you can accumulate your points to redeem USDT Rewards in December 2026—choose whichever rewards best fit your trading strategy!
(Note: Redemption rates differ by reward type. Please check the T&Cs for details.)
  1. Does all of my Futures trading volume count toward my cumulative rank and point multiplier?
No. Only volume generated during the Individual Trading Contest (PnL or Volume) counts toward your rank and point multiplier. Currently, trading volume from Team Contests and Lucky Draws does not qualify for multiplier boosts.
  1. Where can I check my points balance, earning history and redemption history?
Everything is in the Points Center. You'll find:
  • Each point credit, the contest it came from, and the multiplier status
  • The expiry date of every batch, so you can see what's due to lapse first as points expire 90 days after issuance
  1. How do I earn Futures Points?
  • Trade Futures during the Individual Trading Contest. Only volume traded after you join the trading competition and within the period is counted.
  • Finish within the qualifying top 200 on the leaderboard
  • When the contest settles, points are credited at a base rate of 1 point per 10 USDT of qualifying volume, then boosted by whichever multiplier tier you've unlocked.
  • Re-enroll in each monthly contest to keep building cumulative quarterly volume and climb to a higher multiplier before the quarterly reset.
