It has evolved into a broader [trading points program](/trading/points.md) that includes both maker and taker activity on Ventuals markets. {% endhint %} 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 Program end: Tuesday, February 3 2026 Last distribution: Friday, February 6 2026 Eligibility: Any wallet address that provides maker liquidity (limit orders) The weekly points allocation is subject to change depending on liquidity dynamics and needs. #### Emissions | Weeks starting | Points allocated weekly | | --------------------------- | ----------------------- | | Nov 13 – Dec 4, 2025 | 200,000 | | Dec 11, 2025 – Jan 29, 2026 | 300,000 | ### 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. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
