While everyone was busy with variational trading, I was secretly following @StandX_Official.
It's simple: StandX currently only has one BTC pair, and the trading volume isn't high, but points are still awarded. This is a very reliable opportunity to farm points and earn freebies; there's no need to guess the hidden scoring mechanism like with other projects.
Adding more trading pairs and mechanisms later will only make things more complex. The current advantage in earning points is significant, and the difference in point costs before and after is inevitable.
It's worth noting that points earned from holding tokens like dusd and points earned from trading, although both labeled as PTS, are actually different points and not calculated uniformly. Actuaries, please don't miscalculate.
StandX has now added an incentive-based order book market-making points system. If you're an experienced freebie hunter, this blur-like mechanism will be easy to understand.
As long as your orders are placed close enough to the market, accumulating an order book and providing liquidity, you can still earn points even if the trades don't go through. The closer the order is to the market and the larger the order volume, the more rewards you receive.
Experienced Blur traders might question the mechanism's susceptibility to low-cost point manipulation, but in a futures trading market, intentionally driving up prices to accumulate points is prohibitively expensive, so there's no need to worry.
Of course, this point system is calculated separately, distributing 5 million points weekly—truly zero-loss point accumulation, suitable for meticulous, focused trading.
I still prefer these kinds of predictable opportunities that don't require much thought.
