Ekiden airdrop

Ekiden is a perpetual futures exchange built on the Canton Network, the privacy-focused chain that big financial institutions use for tokenized assets. It runs a central limit order book: orders match off-chain, then settle on Canton in batches, and you can verify your orders and positions with cryptographic proofs. You keep custody of your funds. The full breakdown is in the Ekiden airdrop guide .

• XP is live. Every trade earns XP, and the docs describe it in exact numbers. No token is announced, so XP is a prospect, not a promise.
• It is early and gated. Ekiden is in private mainnet, so few people are farming yet.
• Canton is a fresh ecosystem. Few retail-facing apps exist there, which is the classic profile of an early position.

• Takers: 10 XP per $1 of taker fees paid.
• Makers: 5 XP per $1 of taker-equivalent fees, even when your maker fee is zero or a rebate.
• Holding: up to 1 XP per $1,000 held per hour, scaled by leverage (full rate at 10x, never below 0.1x).
• Referrals: 15%, 10% and 5% of the XP earned three levels deep, paid on top.
• Fees: temporarily cut to 0.01% maker and 0.035% taker during private mainnet.

Holding beats churning. A $10,000 position at 10x earns about 240 XP a day, while $10,000 of taker volume earns about 35. The low-risk way to collect holding XP is to hedge the same position on another venue, such as Lighter or Pacifica , so price moves cancel out. Our delta-neutral farming guide shows how. Makers earn XP on fills too, so a maker strategy through a tool like Arbital farms it cheaply.

Leverage can liquidate you and a hedge needs margin on both sides, so size it small. Use only ekiden.fi. Research, not financial advice.
