Chaos Labs is excited to introduce the structure for Season 7 of the Surge Program, designed to further strengthen trading activity on dYdX. Season 7 will run from 00:00 UTC on 1 October to 23:59 UTC on 31 October 2025.
Season 7 Key Highlights
50% Fee Rebate
All API traders (maker + taker) will continue receiving 50% rebates on positive trading fees through the end of the year, providing certainty for market makers into Q4.
[Net New] 100% Fee Rebate for UI Traders
All UI traders (dYdX.trade, iOS, Android, Telegram) will now receive a 100% rebate on positive trading fees (maker + taker) during October.
$1M UI Trader Prize Pool
Similar to Season 6, a $1,000,000 reward pool will be distributed among UI traders based on fees paid during the season.
Updated Price Averaging Methodology
The calculation for final distributions will now use a 30-day TWAP of the DYDX token price as opposed to 7-day TWAP from last season.
Anti-Wash Trading Measures
To protect legitimate traders and maintain program integrity, Chaos Labs will implement rigorous monitoring through our wash trading detection systems. We are committed to taking decisive action against any fraudulent activity to ensure fair reward distribution for genuine participants.
