How Exchange Airdrop Rewards Depend on Holdings and Trading Volume

Article OKX Learn

Summary

The document explains an exchange-run token airdrop program with two reward formats. In Hold & Earn, eligible users maintain a qualifying balance during daily snapshots, and their share of the pool is proportional to their balance relative to all eligible members. In Trade to Earn, participants must also generate volume in designated pairs over a rolling seven-day window; rewards are tied to relative trading activity. Users must opt in, and rewards may pause if the balance falls below the stated minimum.

The article lists past campaign pools, durations, and average member payouts, and describes a higher eligible-asset cap for VIP accounts. These figures illustrate how campaign rules and participant activity can affect distributions, but they are historical examples rather than a forecast of future returns. The source is promotional and does not quantify token price risk, fees, spreads, tax treatment, or the opportunity cost of holding or trading to qualify. Its example balance threshold and eligibility rules may vary by campaign.

Key ideas

  • Hold-based rewards are calculated from each participant’s share of the total eligible balance.
  • A trade-based campaign can weight rewards by trading volume over a rolling seven-day window.
  • Participants must opt in and meet campaign-specific eligibility requirements.
  • Past average payouts do not establish what future campaigns will pay.
  • Trading solely to qualify may involve costs and risks that the article does not assess.
