The latest feature rolling out on this leading perpetuals DEX introduces something fairly unique: Maker Points rewards for limit orders that never get filled. Think about it—you're essentially earning just for providing liquidity and setting up your trading infrastructure, without needing to actually execute a position.
Here's how it breaks down:
• Place a limit order that sits unfilled? You're still accumulating Maker Points throughout that period.
• Once your limit order actually executes and becomes a real trade, you then start earning Trading Points on top of that.
This dual-reward structure flips the traditional model on its head. Most trading platforms only reward you when trades actually happen. This one compensates you for the market-making activity itself—the foundation that helps maintain healthy order books and tighter spreads.
It's a clever way to encourage participation in the ecosystem without forcing everyone into active trading positions.

Wait, you can make money without placing an order? That logic is a bit crazy, feels like I'm about to be exploited again.

According to the database, how many times has this incentive model been postponed before it finally goes live? While waiting patiently for it to bloom, I am more eager to see when these Maker Points can be exchanged for real money, rather than another round of pie-in-the-sky artistic performances.

wait hold up, so you're getting paid just for having limit orders sit there? that's like getting tipped for prepping ingredients before service even starts lol. the raw alpha here is actually realizing most dexes had this backwards the whole time

Wait, you can earn points even if the order doesn't get filled? Isn't that just free liquidity provision... That's pretty interesting.

Wow, this is so genius. Placing an order can earn points for free? I'm going to try it right now. This time, I finally don't have to trade frequently.

Wait, just placing orders without executing also yields profits? Isn't that just free riding on liquidity? Haha

Speaking of this dual reward structure, it sounds good, but it still depends on real data to speak for itself; otherwise, it's just a trick.

This model is quite interesting. Can you just place orders to farm tokens? It feels like getting something for free.

Placing orders to farm profits, I like this logic... But can you really keep placing orders until they are filled?
