Dear OKX Users,
To improve liquidity and trading in OKX Event Contract markets, we are starting the Event Contract Liquidity Rewards Program. This program rewards users for providing two-sided liquidity near the market midpoint and for genuine passive maker executions.
I. Program Start Date
October 1, 2026 (UTC+8) Rewards are calculated monthly. At the start of each month, OKX will calculate rewards for the previous month and aims to distribute them within the first two weeks of the new month.
II. Monthly Rewards
The program offers up to 48,000 USDT per month, distributed as follows:
- Quoted Liquidity Rewards: 80%
- Passive Trading Volume Rewards: 20%
Rewards will be sent to participants’ master accounts after monthly settlement. A master account must earn at least 10 USDT in total rewards for the month to receive a distribution.
III. How to Participate
- Contact your Relationship Manager (RM) or Customer Service to register;
- Orders placed via API, Web, App, and other supported channels can participate;
- The program is for eligible OKX Event Contract products;
- Only qualifying orders and maker executions count towards rewards.
Qualifying orders and executions from sub-accounts under the same master account will be combined before calculating rewards. Splitting activity across sub-accounts will not increase the overall reward for the master account.
IV. Monthly Reward Pools by Series
| Series | Maximum Monthly Reward (USDT) |
| BTC-UPDOWN-5MIN | 30,000 |
| BTC-UPDOWN-15MIN | 6,000 |
| ETH-UPDOWN-5MIN | 3,000 |
| SOL-UPDOWN-5MIN | 1,500 |
| ETH-UPDOWN-15MIN | 1,500 |
| BTC-ABOVE-DAILY | 1,500 |
| ETH-ABOVE-DAILY | 1,500 |
| XAU-ABOVE-DAILY | 1,500 |
| XAU-UPDOWN-DAILY | 1,500 |
| Total | 48,000 |
OKX may change reward amounts for future months based on market liquidity, product availability, program performance, and other relevant factors. The reward amount listed on the program page will be final.
V. Monthly Reward Distribution
A participant’s total monthly reward is the sum of quoted-liquidity rewards and passive trading volume rewards from all eligible Series: Total Monthly Reward = Quoted Liquidity Reward + Passive Trading Volume Reward. Actual rewards may be less than the maximum due to invalid order book evaluations, lack of qualifying maker executions, minimum distribution thresholds, or final data checks.
For more details, please see the Event Contract Liquidity Rewards Program.
