Maker Points

Ventuals is built on top of Hyperliquid's permissionless blockchain network and orderbook infrastructure — anyone is welcome to market make on Ventuals with their own strategies.

The Ventuals Maker Points program incentivizes healthy liquidity on Ventuals HIP-3 markets.

Ventuals maker points

Program start: Thursday, November 13 2025

Emissions: 200,000 Ventuals points allocated each week

Eligibility: Any wallet address that provides maker liquidity (limit orders)

The weekly points allocation is subject to change depending on liquidity dynamics and needs.

Methodology

The exact distribution methodology will not be disclosed, but includes the following factors:

• Size: how much liquidity a maker posts

• Distance: whether orders are within a reasonable range to top-of-book; encouraging a smoother and more resilient orderbook instead of an overly-clustered top level

• Uptime: how continuously a maker provides resting quotes throughout the week

• Two-sidedness: how consistently active a maker is on both the bid and ask sides

• Ask-weighted: asks are more heavily weighted than bids in the orderbook

• Fill quality: how much fill volume is actually traded at competitive prices

Anti-gaming measures are considered, such as minimum rest times, high cancel rates, and self-trades to ensure that maker points distribution is tied to genuine market-making behavior.

Ventuals reserves the rights to change the points formulas at any time, or modify past point distributions at its sole discretion.
