Arcus, a Robinhood onchain perpetual DEX protocol, has introduced a points program. The project said Season 0 points will be distributed based on user contributions made between July 1 and Sept. 30. Starting with Season 1, points will be published weekly. The rewards framework covers several activities on the platform, including trading, creating trading markets, depositing collateral on Arcus, and referrals. Arcus said allocations will be determined by the value each trader’s activity brings to both the protocol and its community, rather than by raw activity alone. The team also outlined behaviors that may receive reduced or no points. These include fake trading, self-matching, intentional clustering, and rapid wash-style activity involving repeated deposits, trades, and withdrawals, as well as other detected gambling-like behavior. Arcus was founded by Eddie Zhang, and its development team comes from the core team behind dYdX.
