Community Outreach:
- Held a Podcast on X.com where we discussed February’s key achievements, updates to our products, and provided future plants. We are continuing the trend to provide as much transparency and building strong connections with our community wherever possible.
Announced upcoming Referral Contest
- The Referral Contest offers a unique approach to earning points based on trading volume. Participants earn points from both their referrals’ trading volume and their own, albeit at a slightly lower rate. To qualify, each referral must achieve at least $1000 in trading volume. For example, if you refer two users who collectively trade $2 million and you personally trade $200,000, you would earn 400 points from referrals (2 million * 2 users / 10,000) and 20 points from your own trading volume ($200,000 / 10,000), totaling 420 points.
