💯POINTS DISTRIBUTION DONE HOW IS ARCUS DOING? LET’S BREAK IT DOWN👇

🪢https://t.co/UQp5cgmkLZ
CODE: ARCUSSXX

📊 I’ve been actively using @arcus_xyz for a while now. Season 1’s first points drop is behind us, so here’s a quick personal evaluation of where the platform stands based on real usage.

🚀 Open Interest keeps hitting new ATHs every day and is currently sitting around ~$180M (it was already at ~$168M not long ago). Most of this fresh OI is coming from RWA and Stock Token perps, while BTC and ETH remain relatively flat. OI is still one of the biggest drivers behind points distributions, and Arcus remains significantly smaller than Variational which means the early window is still open.

📈 Recent metrics
- 24h volume: ~$250-260M (lower on weekends as expected)
- Week 1 total volume: ~$2.94B with ~$64M OI
- Week 1 RWA volume: ~$727M (overnight + weekend RWA ~$259M)
- Cumulative volume: approaching ~$10B in ~100 days

💰 Points mechanics:
- Fixed 250K points distributed every Wednesday at 3PM ET
- Weekly amount does not increase with platform growth → early quality activity stays more valuable
- Program runs until end of H1 2027 at the latest
- Season 0 points still redacted, Season 1 is transparent

🔥 Current boosts
- Trading Stock Tokens and other RWA pairs
- Trading RWA perps outside regular market hours (overnight, weekends, holidays)
- Crypto still earns points but doesn’t qualify for these specific boosts
- Weekends remain interesting because the off-hours boost still applies lower OI pairs can be run at higher leverage more comfortably with a hedge

👍 Personal feedback: Clean interface, the 24/7 Stock Token + perps combo actually works well in practice. RWA boosts are noticeable, and as OI keeps climbing the points should only get more valuable. Wash trading, self-matching, and rapid deposit-trade-withdraw loops get penalized, so proper trading + holding OI + referrals is the healthier path.

No separate contest with extra prizes right now the Points program itself is the main event. Invite codes still unlock at $1M perps volume, and referral bonuses are active.

Bottom line: After the first distribution, OI and RWA activity are accelerating and it’s still early. Farm farm farm still applies, especially during boosted hours.
GOOD LUCK!

🚨EARLY-STAGE OPPORTUNITY FOR ANYONE HUNTING A NEW PERP DEX @MNX_fi

💥That’s why I started using it a bit. Getting in early and positioning based on how it develops matters.👇

👀 I’ve been clicking around the UI, opening trades, and checking the book and markets. This is not a copy of a standard crypto perp venue. It’s a non-custodial AI exchange on MegaETH. Perps, pre-IPO valuation futures, and prediction markets sit in the same place.

🤖 What Stood Out İn Actual Use;
🔹 Lab valuations like OpenAI and Anthropic, plus markets such as SSITOP on the Epoch ranking
🔹 H100 / compute, AI equities, and numeric futures
🔹 Niche prediction markets like p(doom)
🔹 Up to 50x leverage, batch-auction matching
🔹 Still invite-only, so closed beta

📌 Today’s official post was clear: “The AI exchange. Next week.” A more visible launch is expected next week. A public launch around early October was talked about; that window passed, and the timeline is now “next week.”

🏆 Contest:
The official announcement was a first trading competition with 20,000 USDT total.
🥇 1st place $10,000
🥈 2nd place $7,000
🥉 3rd place $3,000
Trade OpenAI, Anthropic, and similar markets. Ranking is on https://t.co/3aGL7Bu2pq. Some users said it ended October 1, so check the leaderboard to see if it is still open. The core rule is volume/PnL ranking. No extra task list was published.

📊 Metrics, straight:
It is not on the big DefiLlama-style perp lists yet. 24h and 7d volume does not show up next to Hyperliquid, Aster, or Lighter. Early stage, liquidity is still thin. Test-environment cards show hundreds of millions per market; do not treat those as real mainnet volume. There is no points system right now. Past trades being counted later is not guaranteed, but leaving a trade history is still a reasonable early-user bet.

✍️ Usage Note;
The order screen is simple. Market variety is AI-focused, so it feels different from a BTC/ETH book. Slippage and depth are not at large-venue level yet. Better to size small and learn the markets. Codes are limited, so only use one if you will actually trade.

Anyone who wants to get in early and see the flow can use the codes above. NFA, your risk.

@Kaitor_eth @TxFlow_L1 2M volume great

[Web3Moon @Kaitor_eth]

✅STILL TRADING ON TXFLOW VERY CLOSE TO 2M IN VOLUME🪂

Registration link with a 5% fee discount👇
🪢https://t.co/JHXWyrhwel
CODE: TXWEB3MOON

🔥 The points system still is not live, so I sped up my trading a bit. Early activity on @TxFlow_L1 is expected to count retroactively before Season 1, so I would rather build volume now than enter with the crowd. I am very close to 2M.

⚠️ Trading fees are genuinely high, so size your trades with that in mind. At VIP0, taker is 0.045% of notional and maker is 0.015%. Open and close are charged separately, and funding is on top. Blind volume farming burns the wallet. I am only moving trades I would already take, with no unnecessary leverage.

📌 From what the team shared at Token2049, TGE is planned for 2027, while the points program is expected to go live on Monday, October 12. People who missed Hyperliquid and were late to Lighter are looking here now. Markets run from crypto to popular stock perps, with a BloFin connection and fee-credit campaigns on the table.

📊 The platform side is not idle either. Per DefiLlama, perp volume is about $213M over the last 24 hours, $1.04B over 7 days, and $3.06B over 30 days. Cumulative perp volume is around $8.2B. Open interest is about $26M and TVL is around $27M. The official account said today that they hit $3B cumulative two months ago, and have now done $3B in 30 days. Prediction markets went live in September, users passed 10,000, and 58 new markets were listed.

🏆 Volume Ascent is still open. Window: October 5, 00:00 UTC to October 13, 23:59 UTC. You need to hit Join on the campaign page first. Only manual taker volume on positions held at least 1 minute counts.

💎 $80M taker volume → $5,000 in fee credits
💎 $120M → $8,000
💎 $180M → $14,000
💎 $250M → $20,000
💎 $350M → $35,000

The pool is split by fee share, with a 20% cap per person. If the pool does not unlock, there is no reward. Volume reimbursed through fee credits does not count toward progress.

✅ My Product Feedback Note;on-chain order book, own L1, spot, perps, and prediction markets sharing the same liquidity, no bridge hassle. The interface and order history are usable. The downside is fees. The points page is still Coming Soon, and the distribution rate has not been published. So I keep going in a controlled way until October 12, then adjust the pace once real points data is out.
GOOD LUCK!

🚨ONDO PERPS WEEK 19 USDC PAYOUT IS STILL RUNNING; TRADE MORE HOLD LONGER TAKE A BIGGER SHARE

🪢https://t.co/fIL3OsIgEt
CODE: QG85AB

🔥 I opened @OndoPerps again this week. The line on the screen is still the same: the more you trade and the longer you hold, the bigger your share. Week 19 cash USDC payouts are continuing on the same rhythm. The fixed weekly pool is 175,000 USDC. The epoch opens Tuesday 00:00 UTC and closes Monday 23:59 UTC, and the payout lands in the trading account about 2 days after the week closes. No separate claim.

📌 What stood out in user feedback:

💰 One trader posted +676.49 USDC for week 19, with total USDC rewards at 2,968 USDC, 91,509 points, and rank 117. That is a personal result, not a guarantee. Your share moves with platform volume.

✨ Alongside that, 5 million Ondo Points drop every week. Points are score-weighted on trading volume plus open interest. A single trade is not enough. Real activity and positions you actually hold carry the weight. There is no official announcement that points convert into a token, so I treat them as an extra incentive.

📈 Today’s metrics are also getting mentioned in the feed. On DefiLlama, open interest is about $85 million, 24h volume about $178 million, 7-day volume about $962 million, and 30-day volume around $3.25 billion. Gold leads volume, followed by the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100. Stock, ETF, and commodity perps run 24/7, with leverage up to 25x depending on the market.

🎁 An extra spot campaign is live this week. From October 6, 9:00 AM ET through October 13, 9:00 AM ET, fund your spot balance and hit the volume target for a share of a 10,000 USDC pool:

💵 Add $200 + trade $1K → 5 USDC
💵 Add $1K + trade $5K → 15 USDC
💵 Add $2K + trade $10K → 30 USDC
💵 Add $5K + trade $20K → 60 USDC
💵 Add $10K + trade $50K → 100 USDC

⚡ SPYon, QQQon, MUon, SPCXon, and NVDAon count as 2x volume. Only taker volume counts, net deposits need to stay at or above your tier through the end, and anti-wash checks apply. Spot trading fees are free until October 28.

🧠 My Note From Using İt; RWA perps were already on my list. Weekly cash USDC, the points layer, and this spot campaign are all running at the same time. Holding a position grows your share. Just flipping volume is not the whole game. Rules and eligibility are clear on the dashboard.
GOOD LUCK!

🦺WHILE THE MARKET IS CHOPPY WHERE DOES @entropyIO ACTUALLY STAND? I WANT TO LAY OUT A REAL READ👇

🛜https://t.co/o0wMmSF09z
CODE: WEB3MOON

📉 Today everyone is talking about the same thing: liquidations, cutting risk, stepping away from the screen. I have been using @entropyIO as a product for a while, not just repeating the narrative. In that follow-up post from October 1, 24h volume was around $20M. Today the same book is roughly $64–65M, up about 17% on the day. In a chop, I look for volume that holds or grows, not volume that disappears.

📊 Updated numbers:
🔹 24h volume: ~$64.6M (SNDK leads at ~$34.5M)
🔹 Open interest: ~$59–60M, about double the ~$30M from a month ago
🔹 30d volume: ~$983M
🔹 ~10k unique traders and ~3.55M trades over 30 days
🔹 Ranked 7d volume on the board is roughly in the $300M range, with 4,500+ ranked accounts
🔹 DEX cap is $300M, about 20% used, no market is at its cap
🔹 Every active market is in growth mode, taker fees are very low (tier 0 around 0.009%)

📌 Open the book and the split is clear. SNDK, NBIS and DRAM are doing a lot of the turnover. The real depth is still ANTH: about $40M OI on its own, most of the book, cap usage around 80%. OAI sits next to it. Pre-IPO is still the main bet, while stocks and index names carry the volume. TCNT has been added too, and the pace of roughly one new name a week is still there.

🧠 What I notice while using it: this is not a story of spinning up an isolated perp DEX from zero. They opened their own markets on Hyperliquid HIP-3. Order infrastructure is already there, and they handle oracle and funding themselves. They came out with a $14M seed led by Ribbit and a $40M HYPE stake tied to Anthropic. So I do not get the feeling that the product is dead and only waiting for farmers. Volume and OI were already there before that crowd showed up.

💸 On rewards, there is no official points season or large prize pool announced. What is live right now:
🔹 Trading and referral rebates are paid in HYPE, claimed from the referral page
🔹 Partners program: tier 4 referral, $10 for each referral who deposits $100 and places a trade, plus another $15 once that same user hits $1M in volume
🔹 Those payments sit on top of tier rewards, not instead of them
🔹 Priority for future reward programs is promised, but there is no official date or rule set yet

⚠️ My own usage note: with the market this jumpy, high leverage on frontier names does not make sense to me. ANTH is 6x, OAI is 6x, SNDK is 10x. Funding is hourly and differs by market, with OAI and TCNT running hotter. Growth mode makes fees cheap, not slippage or funding. I am on the side of low leverage, small size, and building a real trading history. If points come, fine. If they do not, at least the book is real.

👀 The line standing out in the community today is the same one: while everyone waits for clarity, OI doubled in a month, and $100M OI no longer looks far. I am in the same place. Instead of closing the screen in the chop, I am still watching this book, where volume is rising and depth is still concentrated in pre-IPO.
GOOD LUCK!

🚨POPDEX EARLY CASH REWARDS ARE CLOSING THE FINAL ROUND IS BIGGER👇

🔗https://t.co/Q7nrYPxMr8

🔥 I’ve been opening and closing trades on @popdex_ for a while. I’m here because it pays USDT to the wallet, not because of a points promise. This closed-beta window is narrowing toward the last cash round before open beta.

📊 As of October 7, the official milestone page shows about $3.5B in cumulative volume and roughly $63M TVL. The same page lists 24h volume at 102M USDT. Third-party trackers put the 24h band near $88M, with open interest around $39M. On Dune, 7-day volume is about $400M. In a little over three months of closed beta they went from 12 markets to 66.

💎 One account covers both crypto and RWAs. Besides BTC and ETH, you can trade index, gold, and stock perps. The order book is on-chain, on Morph Tachyon. Max leverage is 100x, maker/taker fees are about 0.010% / 0.032%. Charts, one-click orders, and live PnL feel like a CEX, while collateral stays in the wallet.

🎁 Rewards are USDT, not points. Early round caps roughly ran like this:

�� Aug 10 round, cap 2,000 USDT
💰 Aug 24 round, cap 1,500 USDT
💰 Sep 7 round, cap 3,300 USDT
💰 Sep 21 round, cap 8,000 USDT
💰 Round 5 has been airdropped. Activity from Sep 20 to Oct 4, web users with $300K+ cumulative volume, top reward again 8,000 USDT

🚀 The final closed-beta round is next. Bigger cash than prior rounds, a lookback across the whole closed beta, and MegaPop recognition are being discussed. Raw volume alone is not enough. Trading days, consistency, and organic activity also count. On referral, eligible codes return about 20% of net fees.

🧠 In May they raised a $30M seed led by Foresight Ventures. There is no token yet. The “100% of created value flows back to real contributors” model is not a full fee rebate. It means the distributable portion goes back to users. Open beta and mobile are planned for October, with spot and isolated margin also on the way.

⚠️ My usage note is simple: BTC liquidity is comfortable, thinner markets can slip. Steady real trading makes more sense than inflated volume for rewards. I am not sizing up until the final-round rules are clear on the official channel.

[Web3Moon @Kaitor_eth]

📝I will decide whether or not to continue based on the situation once the Season 0 scores are announced. Until then, I’ll take it easy.

[Web3Moon @Kaitor_eth]

Anyway, what's done is done; we'll look ahead to the next matches. I'm going to slow down a bit on a few perpetual DEXs where earning points has become difficult lately, and instead focus on the @TitanExchange_ project which is still in the testnet phase. Of course, I'll really ramp it up once the mainnet launches, but it's worth accumulating points while it's still in testnet. I'll be hanging around here for a while.

🚨HERTZFLOW @Hertzflow_xyz NEW STAGE: I JUST CROSSED 3M MERITS👇

🪢https://t.co/uDRoTSuoZi
CODE: HERTZW

🔥 Opened the dashboard today and the number was clear. I passed 3 million Merits on HertzFlow, and this is no longer a “I tried it a bit” level. In the early days it felt like connecting a wallet and opening a position was enough. Now trading, liquidity, and referrals all feed the same score. Sit idle and your rank slips. We saw that on the board today.

📊 The platform side matches the pace. Per DefiLlama, HertzFlow perp volume is about $1.57M in the last 24 hours, $5.86M over 7 days, and $95.87M over 30 days. Cumulative perp volume is above $126M, with TVL around $7.1M. Backed by YZi Labs, live on BNB Chain, and every trade settles on-chain from your own wallet.

💡 The real difference in use is the pool design. Each market runs in its own isolated pool. A sharp move in one pair does not eat collateral from another. That point was on X today too: instead of one pool absorbing everything, each market has its own risk profile. Pricing comes from oracles, not a classic order book. Counterparty liquidity comes from LPs.

🎯 Merits do not feel like a pure volume farm. Closed trades, liquidity, swaps, and referrals all write into the same epoch. Some users say positions held 12–48 hours, especially ones that draw down, accrue Merits faster. I noticed open interest gets rewarded more than quick scalps. Skip a few days of trading and the rank drops. Someone posted today about falling from 247 to 304. Stay inactive and your spot gets taken.

🤝 The referral side got clearer from Joel’s breakdown yesterday. A trader who binds a code gets a 5% discount on eligible open and close fees. The referrer side goes two levels:

⚡ Tier 1: 10% L1 + 5% L2
⚡ Tier 2: at least 15 active referees and $10M rolling 30D volume, 20% L1 + 10% L2
⚡ Tier 3: at least 40 active referees and $80M rolling 30D volume, 30% L1 + 15% L2

Your own trading volume counts toward the 30D total. The window is rolling. Activity older than 30 days falls off, so the tier is not permanent. Rebates are calculated on-chain at execution and accrue in USDT. Hyper Lev and LP deposits or withdrawals do not generate rebates. Only eligible position fees in Normal mode count.

🏆 On the content side, the 14-day community event with 850 USDC and 18 winners was on its closing day today. Original HertzFlow content, a tag, #HertzFlow, and a submitted link were required. Quality and real engagement were what got reviewed. The earlier $100 Survival Challenge is already closed.

✍️ On my side, 3 million Merits is a new threshold. I am keeping the pace through the end of November, with both trading and referrals active. The early window still looks open.
