ADEN has launched the Points Program as a core incentive mechanism within the ADEN Perp DEX ecosystem. The program is designed to link user trading activity, platform engagement, and long-term ecosystem development through a structured points-based model.
According to the introduction, ADEN Points are generated based on users’ genuine participation in the ADEN perpetual markets, primarily related to perpetual contract trading activity, position holding, and community contributions. The points are non-transferable, cannot be purchased, and have no trading attributes.
Their primary function is to serve as a standardized quantitative reference for future ecosystem rewards. This design emphasizes behavior-based participation and long-term engagement, reducing the influence of short-term tactical activity on the incentive system.
The initial rollout marks the launch of the “Genesis” season, which targets early participants in ADEN perpetual contracts. During this phase, points will be calculated and settled on a fixed cycle. The points framework adopts a multi-dimensional structure, incorporating different categories of participation into separate calculations, each associated with its own reward pool.
As a result, user contributions to trading activity, position stability, and collaborative participation are evaluated independently, forming a more layered incentive structure.
Team collaboration and user growth are also integral components of the program. Through invitation-based relationships and team bonus mechanisms, individual user activity is connected with broader ecosystem participation.
Rather than functioning as a simple referral reward, this design aims to encourage more sustainable collaborative relationships without altering users’ existing trading behavior, thereby strengthening overall network effects.
At the platform level, the launch of the ADEN Points Program reflects its consistent approach to structured product design. Building on its experience in derivatives trading systems, risk control frameworks, and user scale, ADEN is progressively adapting mature incentive and operational models to decentralized environments, applying modular adjustments to better align with the characteristics of on-chain trading.
Looking ahead, as the ADEN ecosystem continues to develop, the points system is expected to become a key mechanism linking user participation, product iteration, and ecosystem returns, offering a clearer path for the long-term growth of decentralized derivatives platforms.
