CryptoLearningClub (CLC) is excited to share the details for Season 10 of the dYdX Surge Rewards Program, a continuation of the renewed Surge program to incentivize sustained and organic trading activity on dYdX.
Season 10 will run from 00:00 UTC on January 1, 2026, through 23:59 UTC on January 31, 2026, and marks the first month under the proposed 6 month Surge renewal beginning in January.
50% Fee Rebates Continue Through Surge Season 10
For Season 10, all perpetual traders will continue to receive 50% rebates on positive trading fees throughout the month of January. As with previous seasons, rewards will be calculated and distributed at the end of the month.
$1M Loss Rebate Pilot Program
In addition to the 50% fee rebates, CLC is also proposing an extension through January on the $1M Loss Rebate Pilot Program. The Loss Rebate Pilot Program, launched with a featured leaderboard last month, introduced a gamified incentive layer for perpetual traders who are liquidated on dYdX. Eligible traders can now claim their rebates for the first half of December. A proposal for the second half of December distribution is expected shortly after the end of the year.
The program is subject to an active community vote, and further details will be shared once governance has concluded and the final structure is approved.
Trade BTC & SOL Perpetuals for Zero Maker and Taker fees on dYdX
January incentives also continue with zero maker and taker fee holidays for BTC and SOL perpetual markets. Subject to a community vote, BTC and SOL perpetuals will remain fee-free for all traders throughout January. Other fees, such as gas, bridging, slippage, or third-party fees, apply unchanged, and all future fee discounts remain subject to governance decisions.
This season aligns closely with the broader Surge renewal proposal by preserving the familiar Surge brand, maintaining a streamlined fee-rebate model, and emphasizing transparency and operational reliability. CryptoLearningClub, with support from dYdX Labs, will manage reward calculations and submit a detailed distribution proposal at the conclusion of the season.
We’re excited to kick off Season 10 and appreciate the community’s continued engagement and feedback as Surge enters its next chapter
