Season 1 Trading Rewards

​
Overview

Lightbeam’s Season 1 – Trading Rewards is a community‑driven rewards program designed to bootstrap liquidity on the Lightbeam DEX. The program rewards traders with LEAF tokens. A total of 2% of the LEAF supply will be distributed throughout this season.

​
Season Timeline

  • Season length: 5 weeks (35 days). LEAF token rewards are calculated daily and airdropped weekly to active traders throughout the season, with trading fees accumulating for distribution to LEAF holders at the end.
  • Start date: 26 November 2025. Season 1 concludes on 31 December 2025.
  • All trading fees will be distributed to LEAF holders through weekly buybacks.

​
Earning LEAF

​
Eligible trades

Any swap executed on the Lightbeam DEX qualifies for rewards. Trades can be executed via market orders, limit orders or grid‑based automatic liquidity. Only the Keeta‑denominated value (i.e., the value in the chain’s native token) of each swap counts toward your daily volume. Wash trades, self‑trades and trades designed to manipulate volumes are explicitly disallowed and may lead to disqualification.

​
Reward Calculation

LEAF rewards are computed daily. These are split evenly based on the amount of KTA traded by every trader across all pairs on the platform.

​
Airdrop & Fee Distribution

LEAF tokens are airdropped weekly throughout the season based on the previous week’s trading activity. Traders can monitor their current balances and pending rewards on the Season 1 leaderboard.

​
Maximising Rewards

To earn more LEAF and maximise your share of the fee pool:
  • Provide liquidity (Maker orders). Makers pay a lower trading fee than takers while receiving the same LEAF allocation.
  • Trade consistently across many days. Rewards are distributed daily; topping the leaderboard on a single day yields only that day’s share. Sustained activity improves your cumulative share.
