Arcus launches a points system to reward activities such as trading.

BlockBeats news, October 1st, Robinhood's on-chain perpetual DEX protocol Arcus has launched a points system, where Season 0 points will be distributed based on contributions from July 1st to September 30th. Season 1 points will be announced weekly and will reward trading, creating trading markets, depositing collateral on Arcus, and referral activities.

Arcus stated that points will be allocated based on the value of each trader's activity to Arcus and its community. Lower-value activities such as fake trading, self-matching, deliberate clustering, rapid money laundering (repeated deposits, trading, and withdrawals), and other detected gambling behaviors will result in reduced or no points allocation.

Arcus was founded by Eddie Zhang, and its development team comes from the core team behind dYdX.
