June kicks off Surge Season 15, continuing the momentum built across the renewal cycle with two initiatives aimed at growing trader engagement and welcoming new participants to the dYdX ecosystem:
- Zero Maker & Taker Fees on BTC and BONK perpetual markets
- Liquidation Rebates for traders liquidated on non-BTC pairs
dYdX Surge Season 15 Details
CryptoLearningClub (CLC) is pleased to share the full program details for dYdX Surge Season 15, designed to foster active, sustainable participation on dYdX throughout June.
This season runs from 00:00 UTC on June 1, 2026 through 23:59 UTC on June 30, 2026. It represents the sixth month of the six-month Surge renewal cycle that launched in January.
Trade BTC & BONK Perpetuals for Zero Maker and Taker fees on dYdX
Fee-free trading on BTC and BONK perpetual markets continues into June, with a full 100% discount applied to both maker and taker fees.
Following community approval, these markets remain fee-free for all participants throughout the month. Please be aware that other associated costs, including gas fees, bridging costs, slippage, and any applicable third-party charges, are not covered by this discount. Any future changes to fee arrangements will be subject to the standard governance process.
Up To $1M Liquidation Rebate Program
First introduced in December 2025 alongside its own leaderboard, the Liquidation Rebate Program was designed to support perpetual traders who experience losses through liquidations on dYdX.
Throughout June, the program will continue to issue partial rebates for liquidation-related losses in non-BTC perpetual markets. Full historical performance data and additional program details are available here.
Prior to June 1, 2026, eligible traders can claim rebates covering the April 1 - April 30, 2026 period. Once the dYdX community approves the governance proposal for Surge Season 14 rewards, qualified traders will also be able to claim rebates for the May 1 - May 31, 2026 window.
Season 15 gives traders a variety of ways to engage throughout June, whether through fee-free markets or liquidation rebates. CryptoLearningClub, working in close coordination with dYdX Labs, will oversee reward calculations and publish a comprehensive distribution proposal upon the season’s conclusion. We’re excited to see Season 15 unfold and to keep pushing the Surge program forward.
