Earning XP: How It Works

XP is your participation score. The more you trade, refer, and engage, the more XP you earn. It’s tracked weekly and tallied at the end of the program to determine your airdrop share.

There are three core ways to earn XP:


1. Trading Volume (Individual)

Every swap you make on the PAIRS DEX earns XP based on volume.

  • 1 XP per $100 USD in trading volume

  • Measured on a weekly basis (Monday to Sunday)

  • Applies across all supported chains and assets

  • Includes both sides of the trade (swapping $ETH to $USDC and vice versa both count)

Example:

If you trade $1,000 in a single week, you earn 10 XP for that week.


2. Referrals (Solo)

Each user gets a unique referral code. When someone uses your code:

  • You earn 5 XP per week per active referral

  • An active referral means: they’ve connected their wallet and completed at least one trade that week

  • You also earn a 1% XP bonus based on their total weekly volume

Example:

You refer 8 friends. They all trade that week, with a combined volume of $16,000:

  • Base XP = 8 × 5 XP = 40 XP

  • Volume Bonus = 1% of $16,000 = 160 XP

  • Total Referral XP: 200 XP


3. Team XP (Group)

If you’ve referred 10 or more people, you can choose to form a team. Your team becomes a competitive group in the leaderboard.

  • All team member volumes are pooled

  • 1 XP per $100 USD of total team trading volume

  • XP is split proportionally based on each member’s weekly contribution

  • You don’t need to form a team if you don’t want to. You can still earn referral XP solo.

Example:

Your team of 12 trades $50,000 in a week:

  • Team earns 500 XP total

  • You contributed $10,000 (20% of volume)

  • You receive 20% of 500 = 100 XP


Each method stacks. You can trade, refer others, and build a team — all XP will accumulate under your wallet.

Rules, Safeguards & Monitoring

  • Only on-chain trading volume counts toward XP.

  • No wash trading. Volume manipulation will result in XP reduction or disqualification.

  • Bot detection systems will monitor activity and disqualify suspicious behavior.

  • Team leaders abusing referral behavior or engaging in circular trades will be flagged.
