How to Earn TreadFi Points: Connect Your Perp DEXes and Farm From One Terminal
TreadFi sits on top of the perp DEXes you already farm. Open accounts on Hyperliquid, Pacifica, Extended and Hibachi, connect them to TreadFi, and double-dip points with automated bots.
TreadFi does not ask you to trade on TreadFi. It sits on top of the perp DEXes you already farm - Hyperliquid, Pacifica, Extended and more - and lets you run them from one algorithmic terminal, earning TreadFi points on the volume you were going to do anyway. The catch most people miss: you need accounts on those perp DEXes first, and the referral you use when you open them still matters. Here is the full setup.
This is the hands-on guide. For the token and Season update, see our TreadFi update , and start from our tested invite at .
is an algorithmic trading terminal and order execution system (OEMS) for digital assets. It aggregates centralised exchanges and perpetual DEXes into one interface, and gives you bots to automate the work: delta-neutral bots for farming funding rates, and market-making bots for automated perps and spot. It raised $3.5M in pre-seed funding, and it connects a growing list of perp DEXes including Hyperliquid, Pacifica, Extended, Lighter, Paradex and Aster. So a single TreadFi account turns into activity, and points, across many venues at once.
This is the part people skip. TreadFi routes your trades to the perp DEXes, so you need funded accounts there before you connect. Opening them through a referral costs you nothing and often carries fee benefits, and every one of these is its own live airdrop farm on top of TreadFi points. Grab accounts on the venues you plan to trade:
- - the proven perp DEX, deep liquidity, builder economy.
- - Solana-based, self-funded, invite-driven points, no token yet.
- - its own points and rewards program on a separate stack.
- - another invite-only perp worth an account if you farm broadly.
Read the full breakdown of these in our perp DEX airdrop guide . The point: the perp DEX account is the foundation. Open it through our links, fund it, then bring it to TreadFi.
Once your perp DEX accounts are funded, connect them to via API keys inside the terminal. TreadFi never takes custody - it executes on the venue you connected. Now every trade you route through TreadFi earns on both sides: the perp DEX's own points, and TreadFi's points, from one screen.
This is where TreadFi earns its keep:
- Delta-neutral bots open offsetting positions to farm funding rates while cancelling most price risk. This is the classic points-farming engine, now automated. The mechanics are in delta-neutral airdrop farming .
- Market-making bots post two-sided quotes to generate steady volume and rebates, which is exactly what points programs reward.
Because the same volume earns perp DEX points and TreadFi points at once, you are double-dipping by design. More on automating this kind of farm in automated trading tools for airdrops .
TreadFi's Season 1 has closed and a token is on the way, but there is an interim points phase running in the gap before the next season. Staying active now positions you for the next snapshot. Keep the bots running at a size you can sustain, keep it organic, and let the volume compound.
Your real costs are trading fees and funding across the connected venues, plus any slippage the bots incur. Leverage on the underlying perp DEXes is the main risk, so size conservatively and understand each bot before you let it run capital. API keys should be trade-only where the venue allows, never with withdrawal permissions. Use only official domains and never share a seed phrase. See how to avoid airdrop scams .
Do I trade on TreadFi or on the perp DEX?
On the perp DEX - TreadFi routes and automates, the venue executes. That is why you open the perp DEX accounts first.
Which perp DEXes should I connect?
Start with the ones you already believe in: , and are strong, well-integrated venues, each a live airdrop in its own right.
Is my capital safe with TreadFi?
TreadFi is non-custodial and executes via API keys on the venue you connected. Use trade-only keys and keep your funds on venues you trust.
What am I actually farming?
Two layers at once: each perp DEX's points, plus TreadFi's points, on the same volume. That double-dip is the whole reason to run it through TreadFi.
