We are thrilled to mark the conclusion of Season 2 on 31 May 2025 at 23:59:59 UTC in the dYdX Surge Program and to announce the start of Season 3.
This post is a quick announcement of the change of season with a more detailed review of key performance metrics to follow in the coming days. Any changes to the program will be announced along with this review.
The allocations to earn points will continue to be:
- 50% - Executing trades via taker orders on dYdX
- 25% - Executing taker orders through one of the web or mobile interfaces
- 25% - Extra points for staking DYDX to a dYdX Chain validator from a trading wallet. More staked DYDX = more points
The proposed distributions will be shared, and the proposal will be posted on Thursday, 5 June 2025.
Next Steps
The timeline for next steps is as follows:
- Share the proposed Incentive distribution for season 1 and post the DRC distribution proposal on-chain by EOD Thursday, 5 June 2025.
- Share an analysis of the performance of the incentive program by EOD 4 June 2025.
