How do I participate in the Liquidity Pool Program?
First, kindly ensure to fill out the signup form.
Then all you have to do is place your orders within the metrics required. For example, in BTCUSD Min Order Value 5000USDe and Max Spread (Both sides) 50 bps. So orders below Min Order Value 5000USDe are excluded and orders above the max spread of 50 bps are excluded. The calculation will be based on your trading activity.
Our system will monitor and calculate your performance on a minute-by-minute basis (using randomized sampling) and aggregated it into a final score. The final score formula QEPOCH * (UptimeEPOCH)^5 will give us the percentage of your liquidity contribution. And we will reward you based on that percentage.
In QBID and QASK, how is the denominator "spread" calculated?
(best bid+best ask)/2
How is the minimum order value calculated?
Price * quantity
When do I claim my rewards?
The rewards will be credited to the account every following Thursday.
Are there penalties for not hitting the metrics?
No penalty.
What is the minimum incentive?
There is no fixed minimum incentive as it is based on the final score percentage, the number of eligible participants, and the rewards amount of the given pair.
