dYdX has just officially announced the first phase of the 2026 Affiliate Booster program, which may be the most noteworthy rebate incentive event at the beginning of this year!
📅 Event time: January 19 - February 16 (a total of 4 weeks)
💰 Total Reward Pool: 100,000 USDC
🔍 The three major core changes of this event:
1. Fair distribution, rejecting 'top monopoly':
Bid farewell to the past simple leaderboard model, this time adopting a brand new 'proportional distribution mechanism'.
• The proportion of your referred users' trading volume to the total network volume = the proportion of your share of the reward pool.
• Simply put: the more you work, the more you earn; every referral trading volume is making money for you.
2. Hard Entry Threshold (Builders please note):
To receive your share of the 100,000 USD, you need to meet two basic conditions:
• Effective trading volume of referrals ≥ 100,000 USD (which is not considered high in contract trading);
• Refer at least 5 new users.
💡 Operational Advice:
• Registration Reminder: This program usually requires prior registration on the official form; it does not automatically start calculating.
• Risk Hedge: The trading volume threshold of 100,000 USD means that for 5 new users, each only needs to trade 20,000 USD on average. With 10-20x leverage, you can actually meet the requirement just by opening and closing positions a few times, making the entry barrier very friendly.
• Timeliness: The event has already started for 5 days (today is January 23), and now is the perfect time to get involved.
3. Commission Bonus:
In addition to this extra prize pool of 100,000 USDC, don't forget that after the dYdX v9.4 upgrade, the base commission for Affiliates has been increased. If your referrals are substantial, you can earn up to 50% of the transaction fee rebate, and it's credited in real-time in USDC.
💡 Strategy Advice:
Since BTC trading volume is usually not counted as 'effective trading volume' for such rewards (be sure to verify specific terms), it is recommended to guide referred users to focus on ETH, SOL, or other popular altcoin perpetual contracts, as this will enhance the efficiency of volume trading.
🔥 Summary:
dYdX is seizing market share through this 'sunshine' mechanism. If you have community resources or trader friends, these four weeks are the golden period for maximizing profits.
Do you think this 'proportional allocation' mechanism is fairer than the leaderboard model? Let's discuss in the comments!👇
