We are starting Epoch 2 of GRVT Rewards with an upgrade. Introducing the GRVT Badge System—an optimization of the three GRVT Reward categories designed to make your journey on GRVT more exciting, transparent, and rewarding.

Gone are the days of being overwhelmed by points. Now, you can easily track and understand your performance, aim for higher badge tiers, and unlock bigger token allocation with our 9-tier badge system, tailored for three separate token reward pools: Ecosystem, Trader, and Liquidity Provider (LP).

TL;DR: Your total badge tiers across all Epochs determine your token allocation for each reward pool at TGE (token generation event), with more high-tier badges collected (e.g., Tier 1 Champion) receiving the most tokens and Tier 9 (Rookie) the least.

Previous Distribution System

Previously, the Genesis Airdrop under the GRVT Rewards Program used a 9-tier Badge System to ensure fair rewards. While it prevented heavy skewing, it didn’t fully scale with effort. After community voting, a new system is set for Epoch 1 and beyond.

Current Distribution System

A 75/25% model will be applied to determine the token awarded to users:

• 75% of the Genesis airdrop allocation is now based directly on your points.
• 25% is reserved for a community bonus pool to ensure even small but consistent contributors get rewarded, driven by two factors: your badge tier and activity consistency (i.e., number of badges collected across Epochs).
• Total 12 badge tiers will be applied.

Points Cutoff for Epoch 1

Badge Reward Categories

Badges are awarded based on your performance in these separate reward pools:

1. Ecosystem Reward* (based on your direct and indirect invites trading volume)
2. Trader Reward (based on the fees you pay while trading on GRVT)
3. Liquidity Provider (LP) Reward (based on your ask/bid orders)

*Note: Your badge tier for Ecosystem Rewards Epoch 1 will also consider your pre-mainnet invite points.

Example: You might earn an Ecosystem (Tier 1) badge, a Trader (Tier 2) badge, and an LP (Tier 7) badge in the same Epoch.

Badge Tier Breakdown

Badges are awarded for each reward pool at the end of each Epoch (a monthly cycle).

While the exact token allocation per tier remains undisclosed until nearing TGE, here’s the general criteria.

How It Works

At the end of each Epoch (monthly cycle), users are awarded badges based on their performance across three separate categories:

1. Ecosystem Reward* (based on your direct and indirect invites trading volume)
2. Trader Reward (based on the fees you pay while trading on GRVT)
3. Liquidity Provider (LP) Reward (based on your ask/bid orders)

*Note: Your badge tier for Ecosystem Rewards Epoch 1 will also consider your pre-mainnet invite points.

For example, you could earn an Ecosystem (Tier 1) badge, a Trader (Tier 2) badge, and an LP (Tier 7) badge all in the same epoch.

Your badge determines your token allocation tier, with Tier 1 badges receiving the highest token allocation. While the exact token allocation per tier remains a mystery until nearing TGE, higher tiers mean bigger rewards—so aim high!

The 9-tier Badge System

Here’s a quick look at the badge tier rankings, with Tier 1 being the highest ranked. The exact token allocation for each tier will remain undisclosed until nearing TGE, but the general criteria is as follows:

For Champion (Tier 1), only three badges will be awarded per Epoch:

• Ecosystem Badge: Top #1 in Ecosystem Points for the Epoch
• Trader Badge: Top #1 in Trader Points for the Epoch
• LP Badge: Top #1 in Liquidity Provider Points for the Epoch

The remaining tiers will be awarded based on your contributions in each of the separate reward pool categories. GRVT reserves the right to modify badge distribution criteria per Epoch under its sole discretion.

Why Badges Matter

1. Clarity and Simplicity: The badge system transforms complex point calculations into an easy-to-understand tier system. Now, you can clearly see where you stand and what could be needed to level up.
2. Fairness for All: We believe every contributor, big or small, matters. While top players naturally earn more, our badge system ensures that rewards are distributed fairly, so all contributors—whether you’re just starting or highly active—have an opportunity to gain recognition and rewards. Points are designed to recognize effort across the board, not just at the very top, ensuring fairness for everyone.
3. Transparent Criteria: Badge criteria will be updated regularly if there are any changes, so you know exactly what to do to improve your rank and claim higher-tier badges.
4. Motivation to Grow: Whether you’re an Ecosystem Contributor, Trader, or Liquidity Provider, there’s always room to level up per Epoch and achieve or maintain higher tiers.

Be KYC-d to Collect Your Badge

Completing KYC verification is mandatory to collect badges and qualify for airdrops across all three reward pools: Ecosystem, Trader, and Liquidity Provider (LP).

In order to be eligible for claiming your Epoch 1 badge, you will need to complete KYC successfully before Epoch 2 ends on March 1, 2025 (any changes to this date will be announced to the community). If you complete KYC in the middle of Epoch 2, you can claim your badge for the previous epoch (Epoch 1). It will show up on your Badge Collection history, where you can track your progress across Epochs. Note: If you do KYC later, you will fit into a particular badge tier based on your points but you won't be able to see your overall Epoch rank.
