dYdX Community Approves Surge Program Renewal and January Trading Incentives

dYdX kicks off the New Year with Season 10 of the Surge Program, bringing continued fee rebates for all perpetual traders alongside continued loss rebates and fee-free trading on the SOL and BTC perpetuals markets.

The community also approved the renewal and extension of the Surge Rewards Program and voted to onboard CryptoLearningClub (CLC) as a contributing team. CLC will support program operations, including execution, reward calculations, and performance reporting, in collaboration with dYdX Labs.

January Incentives 

50% Fee Rebates Continue Through Surge Season 10 

All perpetual traders will continue receiving 50% rebates on positive trading fees in the month of January! Rewards are distributed at the end of every month. 

Trade BTC & SOL Perpetuals for Zero Maker and Taker fees on dYdX*

SOL and BTC perpetual markets remain fee-free for all traders in the month of January. Following a community vote, dYdX has extended maker and taker fee holidays for BTC and SOL perpetual markets.

*Note other fees apply unchanged (e.g. any gas, bridging, slippage and/or third party fees) and the fee discounts are subject to change. 

$1M Loss Rebate Pilot Program Continues Through January

The $1M Loss Rebate Pilot Program extends through the month of January after a community vote, giving eligible traders the opportunity to turn liquidations into an opportunity to earn DYDX rebates! The Loss Rebate Pilot Program, launched with a featured leaderboard last month, introduces a gamified incentive layer for perpetual traders who are liquidated on dYdX. 

Following a community vote, the first bi-weekly distribution (1st half of December) is now underway to partially rebate liquidation losses for the most affected traders. Subsequent distributions will continue on a bi-weekly schedule, including a second December round.

Check your eligibility here to claim your loss rebates before the January 31st deadline.
