dYdX is excited to announce the launch of a new chapter in the dYdX Booster Program for Affiliates - the Pocket Pro Edition, running from October 1 to October 31.

Leaderboard – $30,000
Top 15 affiliates are ranked by total referred trading volume from new users during the Program period.
To qualify:
- Refer at least 3 qualified traders to either https://dydx.trade or https://t.me/pocketprotectorbot, and

Whale Bonuses
For affiliates who generate exceptional volume, bonus rewards are available:
Whale bonuses are separate from the main leaderboard.
For example, if an affiliate finishes 16th in the volume leaderboard but refers a new trader who generates $1M in volume on dYdX or Pocket Pro Bot, they will still receive the $500 Whale Bonus at the end of the competition.
Why Pocket Pro Bot?
Pocket Pro Bot offers a social and Telegram-native trading experience, allowing users to:
- Trade 200 dYdX perp markets directly within Telegram
- Join Squads to compete in the $100k trading competition
- Share PnL cards and leaderboard rankings
- Add the bot to Telegram Groups to make trading more fun
- Access a seamless social trading experience
Affiliates must use their Pocket Pro Bot referral link, available by messaging @pocketprotectorbot on Telegram, to earn rewards and be ranked on the leaderboard.

Eligible referred volume from both Pocket Pro Bot and dYdX (cumulative) counts toward the dYdX Booster Program.
