Original Title: "Early Transaction Brushing to Earn GP? Understanding the Genius New Rules in One Read"

Original Author: Asher, Odaily Planet Daily

Yesterday, DEX Genius, which had been highly discussed last week, announced new scoring rules on the X platform: Season 1 will end on April 12, with a 50% increase in airdrop allocation.

It is worth mentioning that the Genius team stated that GP points earned through trading volume prior to this will be retained. Congratulations to the buddies who participated in interaction through strategies (see CZ as advisor, YZI Labs investing tens of millions of dollars, Genius point-brushing tutorial) for the first time, who may have already "earned big" GP points (platform website: https://www.tradegenius.com/).

Early users "intensely brushed" trading volume, receiving huge amounts of transaction GP points.

Next, let's interpret the new GP points rules on Genius, so as to better participate in platform interaction and earn GP points.

Season 1 Total of 200 Million GP Points, with 125 Million GP Points Still to Be Distributed

Previously, there was much confusion in the community regarding GP distribution. This time, the official statement emphasizes that Season 1 has a total of 200 million GP points and will not have further issuance, with the specific distribution as follows:

· 75 million GP points have been distributed, which was the transaction points obtained by users before the platform's whitepaper update, and the GP points earned from invitations have been retrieved;

· There are still 125 million GP points to be distributed, including 5 million GP points for the roulette rewards, as well as the cancellation of invitation reward points and transaction-based earning tasks.

The 125 million GP points to be distributed will start distribution from 5:00 a.m. Beijing time today (January 20), with weekly distributions on weekends, in quantities of 10 million GP points each time. In addition, the points will be distributed based on weighting to ensure that whale-level traders will not monopolize the entire GP release, allowing small traders to also receive GP allocations.

It is worth mentioning that the USDT to USDC stablecoin exchange trading volume weight has been adjusted to 0.5x, while the weight for other spot trading volumes remains at 1.0x.

Interpretation of Other New Rules

As explained by a team member in the official Telegram group regarding the new rules, all previous GP task points (trading tasks + referral tasks) have been reset; furthermore, under the new rules, GP points can only be earned through spot trading volume.

Official Explanation of the New Rules

New Trading Levels

The trading level division and fee discounts under the new rules are as follows:

· Level 1——Smart: Accumulated trading volume $100,000, trading fee 0.3%;

· Level 2——Ultra Genius: Accumulated trading volume $1,000,000, trading fee 0.2%;

· Level 3——Mastermind: Accumulated trading volume $10,000,000, trading fee 0.1%;

· Level 2——Mogul Genius: Accumulated trading volume $100,000,000, trading fee 0.05%.

The interpretation of zero-fee transactions is currently in effect, and the end date of this activity has not been announced.

Referral Rewards

Although there is no longer a GP point reward for referring friends to trade, after the platform's zero-fee activity ends, users can earn a 35% commission from the trading fees of their invited friends.

For instance, if the invited user's trading fee level is 0.2%, the commission received would be 0.07% (35% * 0.2%).

The GENIUS Token Will Be Created Before April 12, 2026

According to the document, the GENIUS token will be created before the end of Season 1. Hence, the Token Generation Event (TGE) will randomly occur between now and April 12.

Despite Many Platform Bugs, Strong Funding Background and Confirmed TGE Make It Still Worth Paying Attention To

Since the launch of Genius a few days ago, due to the influx of a large number of studios, the platform has been overloaded, with frequent bugs. Although the team has been working hard to address the issues in recent days, there are still functional problems that prevent users from being satisfied. As of now, the invitation points and transaction tasks have not yet been launched, and the Lucky Wheel rewards are still under maintenance.

After the new rule update, the TGE will take place before April 12, significantly increasing the deterministic nature of Genius's airdrops. Before the TGE, only 2 billion GP points will be distributed, meaning that GP points will be particularly "valuable," and the cost of acquiring GP points will only continue to rise. KOL Nathan stated, "With tens of millions of dollars in investment and a FDV of three to five billion dollars, congratulations to the newcomers who got on board these past few days, receiving 37.5% of the airdrop total in 3 days." According to the data below, with a $3 billion FDV and a 10% airdrop percentage, each point is worth $0.15.
