Earning XP: Individual Participation

For individual users, XP is earned through two primary actions: trading and referring. Both are tracked weekly, reset every Sunday at 00:00 UTC, and tallied for leaderboard positioning and end-of-season rewards.

1. Trading Volume

Every trade executed on the Pairs DEX earns XP based on the notional value of the transaction. This means both buy and sell volume counts toward your XP, regardless of trading pair.

• XP Rate: 1 XP for every $100 USD of trading volume

• Calculation Window: Weekly (Monday to Sunday UTC)

• XP resets weekly for leaderboard purposes, but lifetime XP accumulates over the full farming period

Example: If you trade $2,400 worth of assets during a week, you will earn 24 XP for that week.

Volume is calculated post-fees and based on execution price, using oracle-fed USD pricing to ensure standardization across pairs.

2. Referral Bonuses (Solo)

Referring users to the DEX unlocks layered XP benefits:

• Base Bonus: 5 XP per active referral per week

  (An “active referral” is a user who connects wallet and executes at least one trade in that week)

• Referral Volume Bonus: 1% XP of your referral’s weekly trading volume

  (e.g., if a referred user trades $5,000 in a week, you earn 50 XP)

Example: You refer 3 people. Each trades $2,000 this week. You get 3 × 5 XP = 15 XP base + ($6,000 × 1%) = 60 XP →

Total: 75 XP this week from referrals

Referrals do not expire. You can refer users at any time throughout the farming season. Once connected to your referral code, their activity continues to generate XP for you.
