# Season 1

### Overview

Season 1 is the opening chapter of the AFX Mainnet Points Program. Every trade you make, every unit of liquidity you provide, and every guild contribution — all of it converts into points and ultimately into governance tokens at TGE.Points earned in Season 1 do not expire or reset at the end of this phase. They accumulate alongside points from all subsequent Seasons and are redeemed together at TGE. The earlier you participate, the more time you have to build your total.This phase runs for **8 weeks**, with both pools active simultaneously. All points will be merged with points from future Seasons and converted at TGE.

* **Start date:** May 25, 2026
* **End date:** July 20, 2026
* **Settlement:** Points from the previous week are settled every Monday at 00:00 UTC and distributed within the same week

### Points Pool Allocation

Season 1 features two independent pools and three ways to earn. Earning in one pool does not affect your allocation in another.

#### Trading + AFX LP Vault Combined Pool

Season 1 total: **2,885,714 points**, distributed at **360,714 points per week**.Trading points and AFX LP Vault points share this pool. Both can be earned at the same time and do not affect each other. The allocation between the two is adjusted dynamically based on platform conditions.

**Trading Points** Open to all active traders. Retail users and API users participate in separate sub-pools and do not compete with each other. Points are evaluated across multiple dimensions — trade execution, position contribution, and market diversity — to reward genuine, well-rounded trading behavior.

**AFX LP Vault Points** Open to users who deposit funds into the AFX LP Vault. Points are distributed based on each user's actual contribution to platform liquidity depth. During Season 1, the platform prioritizes building early liquidity depth — consistent liquidity provision is one of the primary ways to earn points in this phase.

#### Guild Pool

Season 1 total: **914,286 points**, distributed at **114,286 points per week**.Open to Captains and their guild members participating in the Guild League. Each week, guilds are ranked by total trading volume, and the Top 50 guilds share the weekly pool across a five-tier structure. If fewer than 50 guilds participate in a given week, any unallocated points roll into the discretionary pool.

**Weekly prize pool tier breakdown:**

|  Tier  | Guilds | Share of Weekly Pool |  Per Guild | Captain's Share |  Members' Share  |
| :----: | :----: | :------------------: | :--------: | :-------------: | :--------------: |
| Tier 1 |    1   |          20%         | 22,857 pts |  9% (2,057 pts) | 91% (20,800 pts) |
| Tier 2 |    3   |          20%         |  7,619 pts |   7% (533 pts)  |  93% (7,086 pts) |
| Tier 3 |    6   |          20%         |  3,810 pts |   6% (229 pts)  |  94% (3,581 pts) |
| Tier 4 |   10   |          20%         |  2,286 pts |   5% (114 pts)  |  95% (2,172 pts) |
| Tier 5 |   30   |          20%         |   762 pts  |   6% (46 pts)   |   94% (716 pts)  |

The members' share is further distributed based on each member's individual trading contribution during that week. Rankings reset every week — last week's top guild has no guaranteed advantage, and guilds of all sizes remain competitive.
