> How o1.exchange rewards authentic traders through the Season 1 airdrop

## Season 1 Airdrop

The community allocation rewards authentic o1.exchange traders through a carefully designed airdrop mechanism. While the exact algorithm is not open-sourced or publicly disclosed, it was built to ensure that genuine users are well rewarded for their contributions to the platform.

The airdrop allocation for each user is determined by a sophisticated, nonlinear function that factors in:

* **S1.1 and S1.2 Points** — Core trading points earned across both phases of Season 1.
* **Net Fees Paid** — The actual fees paid to o1.exchange after accounting for each user's individual cashback rate, ensuring that users who contribute more to platform revenue are proportionally rewarded.
* **Referrals** — The number of users referred to o1.exchange, rewarding those who helped grow the community.
* **Trading Patterns** — Variety of token mints traded, token holding periods, user retention on the platform, and other behavioral signals used to differentiate real traders from farmers.
* **Social Impact** — Contributions and engagement on X (Twitter) and Discord, including Discord Maxi roles and community participation.

These inputs are combined in a way that disproportionately rewards consistent, organic platform usage over gameable single-dimension metrics. The goal is to distribute \$O to the users who genuinely contributed to o1.exchange's growth during Season 1.
