## Ventuals points

500,000 Ventuals points allocated weekly.

**Bonus pool (Feb 3 – Feb 17)**

### Methodology

Points are awarded to users who exhibit genuine trading activity. The exact distribution methodology will not be disclosed, but includes the following factors:

* Trading Ventuals (`vntl`) markets from any frontend application
* Taker trading activity, maker trading activity, and holding open interest on Ventuals markets
* Trading any Hyperliquid / HIP-3 market from the Ventuals frontend application ([ventuals.com](https://ventuals.com/))

### Boosts

Points boosts are awarded to users who hold [vHYPE](/vhype/vhype.md), the HYPE LST for Ventuals. The more vHYPE you hold, the greater your points boost (minimum of 100 vHYPE).

***

*The prior* [*Maker Points program*](/liquidity/maker-points.md) *ran from Nov 13, 2025 – Feb 3, 2026, and has been deprecated in favor of this broader trading points program that includes more holistic trading activity.*

*The* [*vHYPE points program*](/vhype/points.md) *is ongoing with a 1M weekly points allocation. The total weekly Ventuals points emissions = 1.5M (1M vHYPE + 500K trading).*

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