VRTX Trading Rewards

VRTX Trading Rewards are now available on Vertex (Mantle) as well as Vertex (Arbitrum).

For a full breakdown of the Vertex Trade & Earn program, please refer to the docs section here.

Please note that updated VRTX reward weightings are based on the following overview and calculations below.

VRTX Rewards Distribution Mechanism-- Mantle

Each of the Arbitrum and Mantle instances for Vertex Edge have their own market specs and maker reward weights to support each blockchain’s native economy.

• Total Reward Pool: There is a total amount of VRTX tokens allocated for rewards for each epoch (~28 days), which is then split between the EVM chains supported by Edge.

• Dynamic Reward Allocation: The distribution of rewards is dynamically adjusted based on the activity and performance metrics of each chain.

• Incentivization: This method aims to balance incentives across both chains, encouraging active participation and liquidity provision where it is most needed.

Examples:

• More maker activity on Arbitrum via Edge = More VRTX maker rewards on Arbitrum.

• More taker activity on Mantle via Edge = More VRTX taker rewards on Mantle.

Please Note:

• The Rewards Page on Vertex (Arbitrum) will show Arbitrum-only VRTX rewards but will be the single location for users to claim rewards across all chains supported by Edge.

• The Rewards Page on Mantle will display VRTX rewards specific to that chain.

Maker & Taker Reward Calculations -- VRTX

VRTX Maker Rewards

• X VRTX will be given to makers on Arbitrum.

• Total / 2 - X VRTX will be given to makers on Mantle.

Maker Rewards Calculations:

• X / (Total /2 - X) = sum(q_score, across products on Arbitrum) / sum(q_score, across products on Mantle)

VRTX Taker Rewards

• Y VRTX will be given to takers on Arbitrum.

• Total / 2 - Y VRTX will be given to takers on Mantle.

Taker Rewards Calculations:

• Y / (Total / 2 - Y) = Total Taker Fees on Arbitrum / Total Taker Fees on Mantle

The minimum depth and maximum spreads per market are as follows:

Depth:

• $25K for stables.

• $15K for core markets (BTC & ETH & SOL).

• $5K for alt markets (non-BTC, ETH & SOL).

Spreads:

• 10 bps for stables.

• 20 bps for core markets (BTC, ETH & SOL).
