How You Earn on Terminal One
Every action on Terminal One compounds your earnings. Here is exactly how the growth flywheel works.
The Growth Flywheel
Terminal One is built so that the more you use it, the more you earn from it. This is not a points program tacked on as an afterthought — it is baked into the fee structure and designed to compound over time.
T1 Points
Every action earns you T1 Points:
| Action | Points |
|---|---|
| Every swap | +10 pts × tier multiplier |
| First ever trade | +50 pts (one time) |
| Trade $100+ | +25 pts bonus |
| Trade $1,000+ | +100 pts bonus |
| Trade $10,000+ | +250 pts bonus |

| Win a battle | +500 pts + the pot |
| Weekly top 10 | +500 pts |
| Monthly #1 | +2,000 pts |
Tier Multipliers
As your lifetime trading volume grows, your tier advances and every point you earn is worth more:
| Tier | Volume | Multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| Operator | $0+ | 1.0× |
| Director | $100K+ | 1.25× |
| Executive | $1M+ | 1.5× |
| Partner | $5M+ | 2.0× |
| Principal | $20M+ | 3.0× |
The Referral System
Refer someone to Terminal One and earn a percentage of every swap fee they pay — forever. Three levels deep:
- Level 1 (direct referral): 10% of their swap fees
- Level 2 (their referrals): 3% of fees
- Level 3 (three levels deep): 1% of fees
These earnings accumulate in your account and are paid out as USDC to your wallet monthly.
Monthly USDC Cashback
22% of all Terminal One platform fees are redistributed monthly to active traders in proportion to their trading volume.
If you generated 1% of total platform volume in a given month, you receive 1% of the monthly cashback pool — paid in USDC to your wallet.
Trade Battles
Challenge any trader to a head-to-head PnL battle. Both sides stake points. The winner takes 90% of the pot. Terminal One takes 10%.
Battles are verified on-chain — PnL is calculated from real Terminal One trades, impossible to fake.
