Crystals

Trade to earn.

Crystals are a seasonal incentive program that rewards users for trading, providing liquidity, referring new users, and contributing to the growth of the Crystal ecosystem. Throughout each weekly rewards period, eligible activity on Crystal contributes toward a user’s rewards score. At the end of each period, 1,000,000 Crystals are distributed among eligible participants based on their relative contribution during that week. Crystals accumulate throughout the season and will be used to determine users’ eligibility for a share of future Crystal token incentives.

Earning Crystals

Users can contribute toward weekly rewards through activity across the Crystal ecosystem, including spot trading, launchpad trading, market making, liquidity provision, referrals, and other eligible activities.

Different forms of activity may be weighted differently based on their contribution to the protocol. Crystal may also announce temporary boosts or incentive campaigns for selected products or programs. Contribution earned during a weekly period is used to determine each participant’s share of that week’s Crystal distribution. Larger contributions generally result in larger allocations, although rewards may incorporate mechanisms designed to encourage and reward broader participation.

Rewards Structure

Each weekly rewards period ends on Wednesday at 12:00 AM EST. After the period closes, eligible activity is reviewed and the week’s 1,000,000 Crystal allocation is calculated, with balances for the completed period being finalized no later than Friday at 11:59 PM EST. Once Crystals have been distributed, the week's allocations become permanent and will not be reduced or retroactively recalculated except in the case of fraudulent participation. Crystal may adjust activity weightings, qualifying activities, or other reward parameters for future periods as the program develops.

Weekly Status

At the end of each weekly period, participants are also assigned a status based on their relative placement among eligible users, from bronze to diamond. Users retain earned status badges after the corresponding rewards period has ended, but may subsequently lose them in further . If users fall directly on a ranking boundary or tie for a qualifying position, they may receive the higher applicable status.

Referral Rewards

Users can earn additional Crystals by referring new participants to Crystal, with rewards unlocked as referred users become active within the ecosystem. At the initial milestone, the referred user may also receive a welcome reward. Higher milestones provide progressively larger rewards to the referrer.

Fair Participation

Activity associated with wash trading, self-trading, Sybil activity, self-referrals, coordinated manipulation, artificial liquidity activity, exploits, or other attempts to manipulate the rewards program may be excluded from rewards calculations or otherwise adjusted. Crystal may review related accounts or activity when necessary to preserve the integrity of the program.
