Higher Aura → more reach + platform perks; helps train Edgen’s AI. _InfoFi for signal quality._ **How I farm it** ![](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/emoji-datasource-apple/img/apple/64/2935-fe0f.png) 1.

They run **seasons/points** and referral programs from time to time, rewarding **consistent trading activity** (and sometimes staking/liquidity tasks if/when available). **Why now** * Zero-fee windows (when active) make **volume farming** cheap. * Seasonal **points/leaderboards** tend to favor early, steady usage. * CEX-like matching + on-chain settlement = good fills without giving up custody. **How I farm it** 1. Do **small, repeated trades** on the pairs that have **fee promos** (often majors first). 2. Spread activity over the **entire season** (daily/weekly cadence > one big burst). 3. Track any **quests/XP multipliers** they announce (Twitter/Discord) and adjust volume accordingly. 4. Keep leverage modest; the goal is **incentives**, not YOLO. **Start here** ![](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/emoji-datasource-apple/img/apple/64/2935-fe0f.png) Open the app : [**Paradex trading portal**](https://app.paradex.trade/r/rapidrunnere) **Tips** \-If zero-fee isn’t active on your pair, rotate to the promo pairs or lower fee tiers. \-Screenshot weekly stats (fills, notional, PnL) useful if they introduce **retro** criteria. \-Watch for **maker incentives**; add passive liquidity if they enable it for the season. * * * My Farming Playbook (Quick) --------------------------- * **Start small**: micro-size first; learn fills/spreads/PnL. * **Iterate often**: short, frequent sessions > single massive punt. * **Keep leverage low** where applicable; goal = farm incentives with controlled risk. * **Track weekly**: snapshot points/refunds/credits/streaks; rotate effort to best EV. * **Chase deadlines** (e.g., **Oct 31** for Polynomial Trading Points) and **new seasons** (Nansen S02). * **Stay adaptable**: if incentives dip, pause and redeploy to the next active window. * * * Risks & Disclaimers ------------------- Perps & automations are risky (liquidations, slippage, rule misfires). Refunds/credits/points **aren’t guaranteed** and can change without notice. **DYOR**. Nothing here is financial advice: this is just what I’m doing right now. * * * ### Want to co-farm?
