Liquidity Improvements

To ensure smooth trading we have scaled up liquidity and will continue to do so with more demand and listings. More Market Makers, deeper books, better trading experience.

Preseason Traders

A retroactive drop is coming for all active traders from Nov 12, 2025 to Jun 10, 2026. Both testnet and Private Mainnet activity will be taken into consideration.

Holding an Origin Badge may boost your drop.

Date of the retro points drop: TBA
