DipCoin Launches Season 1: Horizon (Points & Referral System), an Incentive Framework for Perpetual Trading

San Francisco, CA, USA, February 6th, 2026, Chainwire

DipCoin today announced the official launch of its Season 1: Horizon Points & Referral System, marking the activation of DipCoin’s long-term incentive framework designed to reward real trading participation, capital contribution, and community growth across its perpetual and Vault ecosystem.

Season 1: Horizon represents more than a limited-time promotion. It establishes the foundational scoring logic, risk controls, and reward architecture that will guide DipCoin’s incentive programs across future seasons. The system is built to align user rewards with meaningful platform activity (trading, liquidity commitment, position management, and referrals) while discouraging short-term manipulation and low-quality participation.

With Horizon, DipCoin takes a step toward transforming incentives from short-term marketing campaigns into a structured, sustainable ecosystem engine.

A New Chapter: Why “Horizon”

“Horizon” symbolizes the beginning of DipCoin’s transition from a standalone perpetual trading platform into a contribution-driven ecosystem. Rather than focusing only on trading volume, Season 1 expands reward eligibility to multiple forms of participation, recognizing that healthy markets are built on more than just transactions.

This season marks the first official deployment of DipCoin’s long-term points system, which will serve as a core reference for all future seasons and ecosystem benefit distribution.

Season 1 Schedule

All Season 1 calculations follow UTC time:

• Start: February 4, 2026 - 00:00 UTC
• End: March 20, 2026 - 23:59:59 UTC

The DipCoin interface automatically converts these times to each user’s local timezone for convenience.

What Users Can Earn Points For

Season 1: Horizon quantifies real participation through four core activity categories inside DipCoin’s Perp Accounts and Vault Accounts:

1. TVL Points (Deposit Contribution)
2. Generated from average daily deposited balances.
3. Trading Volume Points (Trading Activity)
4. Generated from executed perpetual trades and Vault strategy execution.
5. Position Holding Points (Position Size Contribution)
6. Generated from average daily effective position size.
7. Liquidation Points (Loss-Based Conversion Points)
8. Generated when forced liquidations occur and result in real losses.

Only Perp and Vault activity is included. Swap trades are excluded from Season 1 calculations.

This design ensures that rewards reflect real economic engagement rather than surface-level activity.

Early Bird Rewards: Honoring Early Supporters

To recognize users who traded on DipCoin before Season 1 officially begins, the platform includes historical data as Early Bird Rewards:

Included historical data:

• Trading volume points
• Liquidation loss points

These historical points receive a 3× multiplier and appear in the Early Bird Rewards section of each user’s dashboard.

TVL, position holding, team boosts, and referrals are not included in Early Bird calculations.

How Total Season Points Are Calculated

Season Points consist of four components:

• Base Points
• Boosted Points
• Referral Rewards
• Early Bird Rewards

Boosted Points are derived from team participation:

Boosted Points = Daily Base Points × (Team Multiplier − 1)

Final Season Points = Daily Base Points + Boosted Points + Referral Rewards + Early Bird Rewards (accumulated across the season)

Welcome Points for New Users

New users who bind a wallet using an invitation code receive a 3-day Welcome Bonus:

• All Base Points earn 2x during the first three natural days.

The bonus applies to:

• TVL Points
• Trading Volume Points
• Position Holding Points
• Liquidation Points

If a user invites others during the Welcome period, the 2× bonus still applies on that day. From the following day onward, the user transitions to standard inviter status and begins earning referral rewards instead.

Team Acceleration System

DipCoin introduces a team-based acceleration model that rewards collaborative growth.

Each user may:

• Create one team
• Join one team

Users can simultaneously hold inviter and invitee roles.

The system compares both team multipliers and applies the higher value as the user’s effective multiplier.

Team Participation Requirements

For a directly invited member to contribute toward team acceleration:

• Daily trading volume ≥ 2,000 USDC
• Daily average position size ≥ 500 USDC

This ensures that team growth is driven by real traders, not passive or shell wallets.

Inviters’ own points are not counted toward their team’s total.

Referral Rebate Rewards

Inviters receive:

• 10% of the Base Points generated by each qualified direct invitee.

Only invitees who accumulate at least 20 Base Points are eligible to generate referral rewards.

Referral rewards are additive and do not reduce the invitee’s own points.

Post-Season Settlement

After Season 1 concludes:

• Season data is frozen.
• Risk review and verification are completed within 7 business days.
• Final confirmed results are published and reflected in user dashboards.

Season 1 points will be archived for historical reference. New seasons will start with fresh accumulation.

Why This Matters

Many points programs reward raw volume alone. DipCoin’s Horizon system rewards capital commitment, position exposure, trading activity, and community building together.

This multi-dimensional design reflects how real markets function and encourages behavior that strengthens liquidity, depth, and long-term platform health.

Season 1: Horizon sets the baseline for how DipCoin plans to distribute ecosystem value going forward.

How to Participate

Season 1: Horizon began February 4, 2026 (00:00 UTC).

Users can start earning points by:

• Depositing into Perp or Vault accounts
• Trading perpetual contracts
• Holding positions
• Participating in Vault strategies
• Inviting qualified users
