Original Title: “Made a Fortune Early by Trading? A Comprehensive Guide to Genius’ New Rules”
Original Author: Asher, Odaily Planet Daily
Yesterday, the highly discussed DEX Genius announced new point rules on platform X: Season 1 will end on April 12, with airdrop allocations increased by 50%.
Notably, the Genius team stated that GP points previously earned through trading volume are retained. Congratulations to users who participated early via the guide (CZ as Advisor, YZI Labs Invests Tens of Millions, Genius Points Farming Tutorial)—they may have already “made a fortune” in GP points (platform official website: https://www.tradegenius.com/).
Early Users “Farmed” Trading Volume, Gaining Massive Trading GP Points
Below is an interpretation of Genius’ new GP point rules to better engage with the platform and earn GP points.
Season 1 Total 200 Million GP Points, 125 Million GP Points Still Pending Distribution
Previously, the community had many questions about GP point distribution. The official now emphasizes that Season 1 has a total of 200 million GP points with no additional issuance. Specific allocation is as follows:
· 75 million GP points already distributed, covering trading points earned by users before the platform’s whitepaper update; referral reward GP points have been reclaimed.
· 125 million GP points still pending distribution, including 5 million GP total for wheel spin rewards, with referral reward points and trading frequency tasks removed.
The pending 125 million GP points will be distributed starting today (January 20) at 5:00 AM Beijing Time, weekly on weekends, with 10 million GP points per distribution. Additionally, points use weighted allocation to prevent whale traders from monopolizing all GP releases, ensuring small traders also receive GP allocations.
Notably, stablecoin USDT to USDC trading volume weight is adjusted to 0.5x, while other spot trading volume weights remain at 1.0x.
Interpretation of Other Changes in New Rules
As explained by team members in the official Telegram, on one hand, all previous GP task points (trading tasks + referral tasks) have been cleared; on the other hand, under new rules, GP points can only be earned through spot trading volume.
Official Explanation of New Rules
New Trading Tiers
Under new rules, trading tier divisions and fee discounts are as follows:
· Level 1——Smart: cumulative trading volume $100,000, trading fee 0.3%;
· Level 2——Ultra Genius: cumulative trading volume $1 million, trading fee 0.2%;
· Level 3——Mastermind: cumulative trading volume $10 million, trading fee 0.1%;
· Level 2——Mogger Genius: cumulative trading volume $100 million, trading fee 0.05%.
Currently still 0 fee trading interpretation; the activity end date has not been announced.
Referral Rewards
Referring friends for trading no longer generates GP point rewards, but after the platform ends the 0 fee activity, users can earn a 35% commission from invited friends’ trading fees.
For example, if an invited user’s trading fee tier is 0.2%, the rebate earned is 0.07% (35%*0.2%).
GENIUS Token to Be Created Before April 12, 2026
According to the documentation, the GENIUS token will be created before Season 1 ends. Therefore, TGE will occur randomly between now and April 12.
Platform Has Many Bugs but Strong Funding Background and Confirmed TGE, Still Worth Attention
Since Genius launched a few days ago, due to massive studio influx, the platform has been overloaded with frequent bugs. Although the team has been working to resolve issues, some functionalities remain problematic and unsatisfactory to users. As of now, referral points and trading tasks are still not offline, and wheel spin rewards remain under maintenance.
After the new rules update, TGE before April 12 significantly increases Genius’ airdrop certainty. Only 200 million GP points distributed before TGE means GP points will be exceptionally “valuable,” with acquisition costs rising. KOL Nathan stated, “With tens of millions in investment, a $300-500 million FDV should be expected. Congratulations to those who joined early—earning 37.5% of total airdrop in 3 days.” Based on data below, with a $300 million FDV and 10% airdrop allocation, each point is worth $0.15.
Genius Point Value Estimation
Perhaps it’s still worth interacting during the first week of new rules while fees remain 0.
