Trading Rewards

Trade on Vertex Edge (Base) and earn VRTX rewards!

PreviousVertex on BaseNextPerpetual & Spot Market Specifications

Last updated 1 month ago

By simply trading on the Base version of Vertex, users can earn VRTX rewards. Check out the section below for more details on the parameters and distribution mechanisms for the ongoing VRTX rewards program available to users.

VRTX Trading Rewards

Base users can earn VRTX rewards by trading on Vertex Edge (Base) as both a maker and taker.

The rewards for VRTX are part of the of the program. Base users can continue to earn VRTX as both a maker and taker throughout the duration of the VRTX Rewards Program.

VRTX Rewards for Base users are available to both:

  • Takers

  • Makers

Let's break down how you can earn rewards for both categories.

VRTX Rewards -- Takers

A fixed pool of VRTX rewards is available each epoch to Vertex traders. The pool of VRTX is split and distributed proportionally to traders (e.g., takers) based on their taker fees paid.

The available VRTX rewards are then split between 4 chains supported by Vertex Edge, including:

  • Base

The amount of VRTX allocated to users is determined by a dynamic reward distribution mechanism across all 4 Vertex Edge instances. The parameters are as follows:

Total Reward Pool

  • 1 Epoch = 28 Days

  • Total VRTX Tokens in Pool = 340,000,000

  • Total Epochs = 72+

Rewards are then split between all of the EVM chains supported by Vertex Edge.

Dynamic Reward Allocation

The distribution of rewards is dynamically adjusted based on the activity and performance metrics of each chain. Examples:

  • More taker activity on Base = More VRTX taker rewards on Base.

  • More maker activity on Base = More VRTX maker rewards on Base.

Incentive Modulation

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


How to Claim Your VRTX Rewards

Base users with VRTX rewards will need to use the “Chain Switcher” feature on the Vertex app to claim their VRTX on the Arbitrum version of Vertex Edge.

To claim your VRTX rewards from Base, simply navigate to the "Chain Switcher" in the top-right of the Vertex app and switch to Arbitrum.

Your will see your available VRTX rewards to claim under the "Rewards Page" of the Vertex (Arbitrum) app page.


VRTX Rewards -- Makers

The Vertex Maker Program is a rebate-based trading fee incentive program for price makers that contribute in excess of 0.25% of maker volume in a given epoch.

Maker Rebates

The Maker Program offers VRTX token incentives allocated to a scoring function that prioritizes:

  • Market Support

  • Uptime

  • Fees

The scoring function is as follows:

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).

  • 40 bps for alt markets (non-BTC, ETH & SOL).

*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 Base will display VRTX rewards specific to that chain.

There is a total amount of VRTX tokens allocated for rewards for each epoch (~28 days) of the program.

For a full breakdown of Vertex Edge’s cross-chain fee sharing and rewards model, please refer to the section .

Makers that qualify for the can begin immediately earning VRTX rewards as part of the program on Vertex Edge (Base) as well.
