# Points Season 1 of the Points Program was launched on April 29, 2025, with up to 1.2M points available for weekly distributions, which take place every Tuesday at 00:00 UTC. Users can earn points across three categories: * **Trading** – Earn points through organic trading activity. * **Providing Liquidity** – Deposit funds into the vault or provide tight liquidity in relevant markets. * **Referring** – Earn a share of the points generated by your referrals. Affiliates earn more. The team reserves the right to update the allocation criteria and logic, including the addition of new factors, which can be revised on a weekly basis. Ahead of Season 1 we distributed 4.3M Early Participation points on February 26 and April 28, 2025. For all other details and updates on the Points Program, follow us on X and Discord. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
