VRTX Trading Rewards

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

Similar to the SEI Season Incentives program, users can earn VRTX by trading on Vertex Edge (Sei) throughout the duration of the VRTX Rewards Program.

VRTX Rewards for Sei users are available to both:

  • Takers

  • Makers

VRTX Rewards – Takers

The pool of VRTX incentives is split and distributed proportionally to traders based on their taker fees paid. VRTX rewards are then split between 6 chains supported by Vertex Edge, including:

  • Arbitrum

  • Mantle

  • Sei

  • Base

  • Sonic

  • Abstract

  • Avalanche

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

  • Total Reward Pool: There is a total amount of VRTX tokens allocated for rewards for each epoch (~28 days) of the VRTX Trade & Earn program. Rewards are then split between the chains supported by 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 Sei = More VRTX taker rewards on Sei.

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

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

Please Note: Sei users with VRTX rewards will need to use the “Chain Switcher” on the Vertex app to claim their VRTX on the Arbitrum version of Vertex Edge.

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

Your pending VRTX rewards will be available under the "Rewards Page" of the Vertex (Arbitrum) app.

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 Sei will display VRTX rewards specific to that chain.
