Testnet Points

Overview

This page documents the historical AFX testnet points program. The mainnet points program is live and documented separately in Points and Season 1.

The AFX Points Program rewards users who contribute to the growth and health of the AFX protocol. Points represent your contribution to the platform and will be convertible to tokens at TGE (Token Generation Event).

The program operates on a "fixed output, dynamic distribution" model — a fixed number of points are distributed each period, and users compete for their share based on meaningful activity. This ensures predictable, sustainable incentives without runaway inflation.

Testnet Program

What is the Testnet?

The AFX testnet is an open testing environment where users can experience the full functionality of the platform using test tokens — with zero real capital at risk. The primary goal is to validate product functionality and stress-test the system under high-concurrency conditions.

How to Participate

  • Connect your wallet and register on the testnet

  • Receive test tokens and begin trading or providing liquidity

Testnet Reward Mechanism

Testnet participants will receive retroactive point rewards after mainnet launch. Points are allocated from a dedicated testnet pool — separate from the mainnet points pool — and will be convertible to tokens at TGE alongside mainnet points, at the same unified conversion rate.

Prize Pool Structure

The testnet prize pool is split into two parts:

Total prize pool: 28,000 points

  • Activity Pool (majority) (70% = 19,600 points)— Rewarding real on-chain trading behavior; broader coverage and deeper engagement means a bigger share

  • Feedback Pool(30% = 8,400 points) — Rewarding high-quality bug reports and product suggestions submitted via Discord

All testnet points are from a dedicated allocation separate from the mainnet points pool. At TGE, testnet and mainnet points are converted to tokens at the same unified rate.

Part 1: Activity

Your activity score is calculated across multiple metrics. We reward genuine, diverse trading behavior — it's not about who generates the most volume, but who covers the most ground.

Metric
What It Measures
Tiered scoring

Volume

Cumulative notional value (USD)

≥ 12 M → 10 ; ≥ 10 M → 8 ; ≥ 8 M → 6 ; ≥ 6 M → 4 ; ≥ 4 M → 2 ; ≥ 1 M → 1 ; < 1 M → 0

Active Days

Number of distinct days with trading activity

≥ 25 days → 10 ; ≥ 20 → 8 ; ≥ 15 → 6 ; ≥ 10 → 4 ; ≥ 5 → 2 ; ≥ 1 → 1

Traded Pairs

Number of distinct trading pairs traded

≥ 9 pairs → 10 ; 7–8 → 8 ; 5–6 → 6 ; 3–4 → 4 ; 1–2 → 2 ; 0 → 0

Order Types

Number of distinct order types used. Counted set: Market · Limit · Position TP/SL · Passive (post-only) · Reduce-only

5 types → 10 ; 4 → 8 ; 3 → 6 ; 2 → 4 ; 1 → 2 ; 0 → 0

Long & Short

Whether you have both long and short trade records

Both directions → 10 ; one direction → 5 ; none → 0

Leverage Tiers

Number of distinct leverage buckets used during the historical testnet campaign. These buckets do not represent current mainnet leverage limits

5 buckets → 10 ; 4 → 8 ; 3 → 6 ; 2 → 4 ; 1 → 2 ; 0 → 0

Position Lifecycle

Whether you complete the full open → add → reduce → close cycle

Open + add + partial reduce + full close → 10 ; open + add + partial reduce → 8 ; open + add → 4 ; open only → 2

Extreme Scenarios

Whether you trigger forced liquidation and/or ADL

Both (liquidation + ADL) → 10 ; one → 5 ; none → 0

Generally, broader coverage across these dimensions leads to a higher score. The specific weight of each metric is determined internally and may be adjusted during the testnet period.

Formula: Your Activity Prize = (Your Score ÷ All Users' Total) × 19,600 points

Part 2: Feedback

Great products are built on real user feedback. All submissions go through our Discord channel and are reviewed by the relevant community members. We value every piece of quality input.

Type
How It Works

Bug Reports

Submit on Discord → Tech community rates severity

Suggestions

Submit on Discord → Product community rates usefulness

Each submission is scored based on its severity (for bugs) or usefulness (for suggestions). Higher-impact contributions receive proportionally greater recognition.

Formula: Your Feedback Prize = (Your Score ÷ All Users' Total) × 8,400 points

Testnet Timeline

  • The testnet duration is determined by testing completion rather than a fixed end date

  • When the testnet closes, all data is finalized — the closing moment serves as the automatic snapshot

  • Approximately one week of preparation follows before mainnet launch

  • Retroactive testnet points are published within one week of mainnet launch

Sybil & Fairness Policy

AFX is committed to rewarding genuine participants. The platform employs a multi-dimensional behavioral analysis system to identify inauthentic activity, including but not limited to mass-created accounts, bot-driven actions, and coordinated farming patterns. Accounts flagged as Sybil may have their rewards reduced or removed entirely. Detection methods are not disclosed and are continuously refined.

Mainnet Program

The mainnet points program is live. See Points for the current program overview and Season 1 for the active season details.

Rules & Notes

  • Each pool is distributed pro-rata: your share = your score ÷ sum of all participants' scores

  • Wash trading, self-trades, and any form of manipulation will result in full disqualification

  • Duplicate bug reports are credited to the first reporter only

  • The tech and product community members are the sole judges for feedback scoring

  • The community reserves the right to adjust scoring criteria and final distributions

  • Testnet points can be converted into token rewards based on participation and applicable terms

  • Points are non-transferable and cannot be traded

FAQ

Is there any financial risk during testnet?

No. The testnet uses test tokens only. No real funds are involved, and there is no possibility of financial loss.

Will my testnet points reduce the mainnet pool?

No. Testnet and mainnet points come from completely separate allocations. Participating in testnet does not affect mainnet rewards in any way.

How do I know if I'm flagged as a Sybil?

The platform does not disclose individual Sybil assessments. If you are participating genuinely and testing diverse features, you have nothing to worry about.

When will I see my testnet rewards?

Retroactive testnet points are handled as part of the broader points program. See the current points pages for the latest status.

Can I earn points from both trading and LP during testnet?

Yes. Both activities count toward your participation and feature coverage scores.
