How to Maximize Rewards and Points on RabbitX Exchange

The ultimate strategy guide to climbing 'The Burrow' leaderboards through smart trading and staking.

RabbitX has successfully turned decentralized derivatives trading into a competitive game via its **"The Burrow"** points program. These points are key indicators of user contribution and are widely believed to determine eligibility for future token distribution (airdrop). Maximizing your accumulation requires a disciplined approach that optimizes volume in the **Perpetuals (Perps)** market while leveraging staking capital (the **Lending Unit** equivalent) for powerful multipliers. Simply trading is not enoughβ€”you must trade *strategically*.

The Three Pillars of Point Maximization

πŸš€

1. Perpetual Futures (Perps) Volume

Points are directly proportional to the trading fees generated. High-frequency and high-leverage **Perps** trading across eligible markets is the primary method to accumulate base points. Focus on low-spread pairs to execute large volumes cost-effectively. Remember: speed is maximized by RabbitX's zero-gas Starknet L2 architecture.

2. Aggressive Taker Strategy (Spot Equivalent)

The reward structure generally favors taker activity (trades that execute immediately at market price) over maker activity (orders placed on the book). To maximize fee generation (your **Spot** metric for rewards), large market orders that incur taker fees, even in high volume pairs, will accelerate point accumulation. This requires balancing reward farming with managing trade execution risk.

3. Staking Multiplier (Lending Unit)

The most critical component for serious point farmers is the multiplier. By locking up the native token in the insurance fund (which acts as a safety **Lending Unit** for the exchange), users secure a substantial boost to their base points. This converts trading effort into compounded rewards, making staked capital the ultimate lever for maximizing reward potential.

Optimized Rewards Checklist

  1. **Zero-Gas Trading:** Leverage the Starknet L2 environment to perform frequent, high-volume **Perps** trades without worrying about Ethereum gas costs impacting profitability.
  2. **Capital Allocation:** Ensure sufficient capital is allocated to both the trading wallet *and* the staking contract to maintain high margin and maximize the staking multiplier simultaneously.
  3. **Weekly Volume Goals:** Set aggressive weekly trading volume targets and track them against the official "Burrow" leaderboard to maintain a competitive edge.
  4. **Leverage Wisely:** Use leverage to amplify volume, but only to the extent that you can manage risk. Trading losses will negate the value of the points earned.
  5. **Liquidity Provision:** Monitor new token launches or pools. Sometimes, early trading activity on newly listed **Perps** pairs is disproportionately rewarded to bootstrap liquidity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: How often are RabbitX points calculated and updated?

A: Points are typically calculated and refreshed on a weekly basis, corresponding to specific trading seasons or cycles. Check the official leaderboard for the exact timing.

Q: Do **Spot** token swaps count for the points program?

A: No, the points program is explicitly driven by fees paid on **Perpetual Futures** trading volume. You need to use the derivatives side of the platform to earn points.

Q: Is it better to be a maker or a taker for points farming?

A: While specific rules vary by season, high-volume takers often generate more fees quickly. You must generate volume (and fees) in the **Perps** markets, regardless of whether you're a maker or taker.

Q: What is the risk associated with the Staking/Lending Unit?

A: Staking in the insurance fund exposes your capital to the risk of being liquidated if the exchange experiences losses that exceed its reserves. This is the trade-off for the reward multiplier.

Q: Are points accumulated by all users guaranteed to be converted to tokens?

A: No, there is no official guarantee, but the point system is designed to reward early and active users in anticipation of a potential future token launch. Points serve as a metric for retroactive rewards.
