Unlike traditional trading competitions that focus solely on P&L or volume, dYdX Surge rewards overall activity on the platform. Designed to recognize and incentivize the most engaged users, Surge will distribute up to $20M in rewards over 9 months. Here’s how it works ⤵️

Community is at the core of everything that dYdX does. That's why you can now compete for up to $2M in $DYDX each month, with monthly competitions running through December 2025 - so if you don't get a big share in April, there’s always next month 🤝 Distribution timeline ⤵️
