dYdX Surge Season 2 - $2.2 Million On The Line

Surge Season 2 is the latest installment of dYdX’s flagship trading competition, a high-energy contest where traders compete for a share of $2.2 million in $DYDX rewards. Structured around transparent leaderboards, evolving market boosts, and anti-gaming filters, Surge offers a competitive environment where every trade counts.

How it works

  • Taker trades on eligible markets automatically generate points, automatically tracked and ranked on a public leaderboard.
  • Rewards are distributed monthly across three leaderboard categories:
    • General – based on trading fees paid by all takers (50% of rewards)
    • Retail – tailored to smaller traders using the official web or mobile interface (25%)
    • Activation – designed for reactivating wallets, stakers, and participants in newly boosted markets (25%)
  • Bonus points can be earned by:
    • Trading in designated boosted markets (e.g. XRP, SUI, AIXBT, KAITO)
  • No registration is required. Rewards are calculated and distributed automatically every month based on on-chain activity.

How to Check Surge Points

Surge points are tracked automatically and can be viewed through multiple community tools:

  1. Live Leaderboard – hosted by Chaos Labs, displaying rankings and point totals in real time
  2. dYdX Dashboard – includes user-specific insights and trading metrics
  3. Discord Bot Command – use /lookup [wallet address] in the official dYdX Discord server
