Maker Points reward users who provide high-quality liquidity on Astros Perp DEX. Points are earned from resting limit orders (3s+), no execution required — every bps counts.
🚀 Key Benefits
Maker Fee = 0: Enjoy zero fees for all limit orders.
Passive Earning: Earn Maker Points simply by providing liquidity in the order book.
Double Rewards: Earn Trading Points on top of your Maker Points once a transaction is executed.
📈 How to Earn More Points
1️⃣ Place Limit Orders (Maker Only)
Only limit orders are eligible for this program.
Maker (Limit Orders) → Earn Points ✅
Taker (Market Orders) → No Maker Points ❌
2️⃣ Stay Close to Market Price
The closer your orders are to the mid-price, the higher your reward weight:

Summary: Real liquidity = Higher rewards.
3️⃣ Keep Orders Active
To prevent spam behavior and ensure depth, duration is key:
Longer duration → Higher weight.
Instant cancel → Very low to zero rewards.
💡 Recommendation: Keep orders active for at least 10 minutes.
4️⃣ Provide Two-Sided Liquidity
The system incentivizes balanced market participation:

One side only
Standard
Best Practice: Provide both buy and sell orders and keep them relatively balanced in size.
⚖️ Maintain Healthy Liquidity
The system rewards real, balanced liquidity providers. To ensure your points are counted, please follow these requirements:
Minimum Requirements:
Minimum Order Size: > 50 USDC per side.
Minimum Resting Time: > 3 seconds.
Orders that do not meet these two requirements will not be counted toward Maker Points.
Recommendations:
Provide liquidity on both sides (Bid and Ask).
Avoid heavily skewed orders that do not contribute to actual market depth.
