Chaos Labs is pleased to introduce the enhanced structure for Season 6 of the Surge Program, designed to drive sustainable retail trading growth on dYdX. Season 6 will run from 00:00 UTC on 1 September to 23:59 on 30 September 2025.
Key Changes for Season 6
50% Fee Rebate Traders will receive 50% of their trading fees* back at the end of the season. This design ensures predictability in trading rewards while aligning with activity.
Increased UI Trader Focus Season 6 prioritizes retail trading engagement through a dedicated approach to UI traders. The reward allocation for UI traders has been increased from $750,000 to $1,000,000, with UI traders receiving 100% of the available reward budget this season.
Telegram Trading Integration With Telegram trading functionality launching on dYdX, Telegram users will be fully integrated into the UI trader category, ensuring they earn points and rewards alongside traditional interface users.
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.
*Only positive trading fees are counted.
A 7 day TWAP price of the DYDX token will be used to calculate final distributions.
