During the Alpha phase, trading fees generated by users through edgeX V2 contract trades will be converted into EDGE rewards based on the current reward ratio, and automatically accumulated into your reward pool. You can choose your claim method on this page.

The actual reward ratio will be dynamically boosted based on holding duration and average OI (Open Interest):

Actual Reward Ratio = Base Reward Ratio × Holding Duration Multiplier × Average OI Boost Multiplier

Holding Duration Multiplier:
≤ 1 minute: 0.8
≤ 3 minutes: 0.9
3–30 minutes: 1
30–120 minutes: 1.03
≥ 120 minutes: 1.05

Average OI Boost Multiplier:
< 1M: 1
≥ 1M: 1.01
≥ 3M: 1.03
≥ 5M: 1.05

Please note: EDGE reward quantities are calculated based on the real-time EDGE price at the time the trading fee is incurred. Due to EDGE price fluctuations, the market value of rewards may differ from the initial fee amount. The trading fee reward ratio will be dynamically adjusted based on ecosystem development conditions.

“Trade to Own” is an event that makes your trading fee come back to you in $EDGE tokens. It is designed to convert trading activity into protocol ownership, turning active traders into EDGE token holders. Combined with 100% of net profit allocated to $EDGE buybacks, the interests of the platform, traders, and token holders are structurally aligned over the long term.

You can unlock rewards based on the trading fees generated by your referred users. The unlock amount equals 25% of their trading fees. For example, if a referred user generates 4 USDT in trading fees, you will receive an unlock credit worth 1 USDT in $EDGE. Unlocked rewards become claimable after 00:00 UTC each day. Alternatively, you may choose to Direct Claim 40% of your reward pool balance immediately — equivalent to 56% cash back on fees paid. The remaining 60% will be returned to the Liquidity Fund. Rewards unlocked through this method are available for instant withdrawal.

Rewards must be claimed within 7 days. Any unclaimed balance will automatically be returned to the Liquidity Fund after 7 days.

The Liquidity Fund was initially established for cold-start liquidity provisioning. During the early phase of the EDGE TGE, a portion of these tokens was allocated to CEX and DEX platforms to bootstrap initial liquidity. Should new CEX listings arise in the future, additional allocations will continue to be drawn from this fund.

The remaining Liquidity Fund will support user rewards under the “Trade to Own” program, serving as a long-term resource for ongoing platform ecosystem development.

Every Tuesday before 10:00 UTC, the designated reward allocation for the “Trade to Own” campaign will be transferred from the Liquidity Fund to facilitate contract reward distributions. Additionally, EDGE tokens returned to the fund during the campaign will be consolidated and redeposited into the Liquidity Fund upon reaching each cumulative threshold of 100,000 EDGE.

100% of protocol net profit from V2 perpetual contracts is used to buy back $EDGE tokens on the open market. All repurchased $EDGE will be burned on-chain.

If you have no trading activity of your own, you will not be eligible for Trade to Own fee-based reward unlocks. In this case, referral rebates remain available as a separate stream. For example, if your rebate rate is 5% and your referred users generate 100 USDT in trading fees, you will receive 5 USDT in rebate rewards.
