Trading Volume
Trading volume — used for Fee Tier calculations, the Ambassador Program, Squad Program, Spot Program, and Trading Competition ranking — counts both spot and perp trades.
Tier Upgrades
Your tier status in the Ambassador and Squad programs is determined by your cumulative trading volume across both spot and perp markets.
Profit Split
The profit split distributed through the Ambassador and Squad programs is calculated based on perp trading fees only. Spot trading fees are not included in the current profit split calculation.
Spot fee rewards may be introduced in a future update.
Trading Competition — ROI & P&L
ROI and P&L rankings in Trading Competitions are calculated based on perpetual positions only. Spot trades do not count toward competition rankings.
Earn on Equity (EoE)
EoE rewards are calculated on your USDT balance only. Other assets — including USDC, ETH, and GRVT — are not included in the EoE calculation at this time.
Points Program
Points are earned from perpetual trading activity only. Spot trades do not contribute to your points balance.
Key Takeaways
Spot trading does count toward your trading volume and tier upgrades.
Spot trading does not count toward profit split, competition ROI/P&L, or the points program.
Earn on Equity is based on USDT balance only — other assets are excluded.
