Live Rewards

OP Referral Rewards

With support from the Optimism DAO, Kwenta traders and community members can earn $OP rewards for following a referral link or referring new traders. For more information, see the Kwenta Referral Dashboard or see the Kwenta Documentation. If you need a referral link, come ask in the Kwenta discord or @ kwenta_io on Twitter and the Kwenta community will be happy to provide one!

Network: Optimism

Action Required: Follow a referral link and mint a Boost NFT or Refer a trader.

Potential Rewards: 200,000 $OP distributed on a first come, first serve basis.

Program Details:

• How to Earn: For each trader who mints a Boost NFT and pays fees, 30% of fees are rebated to the trader, and 30% to the affiliate who referred them.

• Example: Affiliate Tom invited Trader Ily. Trader Ily pays $100 in fees. At the end of the weekly epoch, $30 is earned by Affiliate Tom, and $30 is earned by Trader Ily, in OP tokens. The value of OP tokens will be calculated based on market value at the time of distribution.

• Epochs: Weekly rewards epochs begin and end every Monday at 1200 UTC, and continue until all rewards have been distributed.

• Reward Distribution: OP rewards will be claimable from the Rewards Dashboard at the conclusion of each weekly epoch.
