Unleashing $S Token Rewards on Vertex Edge
Vertex is igniting the trading landscape with a bold new incentive program, unleashing 1.75 million $S tokens to reward users on its Sonic-powered Edge instance.
Starting February 26th, 2025, this five-week trading extravaganza empowers takers to earn $S tokens, Sonic Points, and Gems with every taker trade. With 350,000 $S tokens distributed weekly, plus the chance to offset up to 100% of your taker fees, this is more than just a rewards drop—it’s a turbocharged opportunity to maximize your trading potential.
Whether you’re a volume-driven trader or a Season 1 strategist eyeing the June 2025 Gems payout, Vertex Edge’s lightning-fast execution and deep liquidity make it the ultimate arena to stack rewards and sharpen your edge.
Sonic Season 1: $S Trading Rewards
Starting Wednesday, February 26th, 2025, Sonic users can tap into a fresh wave of trading incentives designed to reward taker activity over a dynamic 5-week period. A total of 350,000 $S tokens will be distributed weekly, equating to 1.75 million $S tokens to the Vertex (Edge) Sonic instance.
How It Works
- Taker-Flow Only: Rewards are exclusive to takers – any order that crosses the book and removes liquidity (e.g., filled market orders) qualifies. Makers, sit tight; this one’s for the takers.
- Weekly Rewards: Each week, 350,000 $S tokens are up for grabs, distributed proportional to your taker volume. Higher volume, bigger slice.
- Up to 100% Taker Fee Rebate: Earn back up to the full amount of your taker fees in $S tokens. For example, pay $50 in taker fees during a week, and you could score up to $50 worth of $S—volume permitting.
- Volume Overflow: If total taker volume exceeds the weekly $S pool, rewards scale down gradually. Your share is calculated based on your taker fees relative to the epoch’s total, mirroring the proportional split used in Vertex’s Sei rewards program here.
- Bonus Perks: While racking up $S tokens, you’ll also farm Sonic Points and Gems as part of the ongoing Season 1 ecosystem rewards native to Sonic. More trades, more rewards – stacked across the board.
