Season 9 of the Surge Program is live, and this month offers several ways for traders to save on fees, earn rebates, and participate in new reward pilots.
Save on Trading Fees
All traders automatically receive 50% rebates on positive trading fees through the end of December. No registration or opt-in is required. rebates accrue simply by trading as usual.
BTC and SOL Trading with Zero Fees
BTC and SOL perpetual markets remain completely fee-free for both maker and taker orders.
This is one of the easiest ways to reduce trading costs this month, especially for high-volume or active strategies.
The Liquidation Rebate Pilot Launches
From December 1–31, traders who experience liquidations can earn a share of up to $1M through a new liquidation-rebate pilot program.
To participate:
- trade on dYdX during December
- if a qualifying liquidation occurs, traders receive liquidation points
- points decide leaderboard rankings, and the final ranking determines the rebate payout
Rebates are distributed after the program ends.
