Season 1 Rewards

Lightbeam's Season 1 – Trading Rewards is a community-driven rewards program designed to bootstrap liquidity on the Lightbeam DEX. Traders earn LEAF tokens simply by trading, with a total of 2% of the LEAF supply distributed throughout the season.

Overview

Season 1 rewards active traders with LEAF tokens for the volume they generate on the Lightbeam DEX. Across the season, 2% of the total LEAF supply is set aside for distribution to the community.

Season timeline

• Season length: 5 weeks (35 days). LEAF rewards are calculated daily and airdropped weekly to active traders throughout the season.
• Start date: 26 November 2025. Season 1 concludes on 31 December 2025.
• Trading fees accumulate throughout the season and are distributed to LEAF holders through weekly buybacks.

Earning LEAF

Eligible trades

Any swap executed on the Lightbeam DEX qualifies for rewards. Trades can be placed via market orders, limit orders or grid-based automatic liquidity. Only the Keeta-denominated value of each swap (i.e. the value in the chain's native token, KTA) 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. Each day's allocation is split across every trader in proportion to the amount of KTA they traded across all pairs on the platform.

Airdrop and fee distribution

LEAF tokens are airdropped weekly throughout the season, based on the previous week's trading activity. You can monitor your 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, so topping the leaderboard on a single day yields only that day's share. Sustained activity improves your cumulative share.
