Torque team
Frontier TradersTORQUE

Frontier Traders is Solana's trading rewards program, offered by the Solana Foundation. It rewards onchain traders on Solana with prizes, crates and weekly campaigns.

Torque runs the reward infrastructure behind it. We track the trading, screen it, pay it out and support the traders, so every reward reaches the people who earned it.

What Torque runs

Six parts of the program, from launch to payout.

  • Launch mechanics

    Campaign setup and rules, from the Season 1 boards to each weekly campaign.

  • Tracking and indexing

    Trading tracked across 40+ venues on Solana, so rewards follow the trader.

  • Sybil protection

    Sybil wallets and bots are filtered out before anyone is paid.

  • Token distribution

    Rewards paid on Solana to the wallets that earned them.

  • KYC and KYB

    Identity checks before payout.

  • Customer support

    Answers for traders on volume, rankings and claims.

How a campaign runs on Torque

Every campaign moves through the same four stages.

  1. 01

    Pre-launch

    The rules, the venues and the reward pool are set and tested before the campaign opens.

  2. 02

    Live

    Trades count as they happen. Traders see their rank and progress through the window.

  3. 03

    Cooldown

    The window closes, and every result is reviewed before anything pays.

  4. 04

    Distribution

    Rewards go to the wallets that earned them.

KYC and KYB

Traders can trade and rank without identity checks. The checks happen before anyone is paid.

KYC for traders

Traders
  • Required before claims. Every trader verifies once.

KYB for firms

Firms
  • For trading firms and market makers, before VIP access.

How we track venues

Each campaign picks the venues it counts, across DEXs, prop AMMs, perps venues and aggregators.

How the program works

Traders sign up, trade on Solana and earn across these tracks.

  1. 01

    Perps and spot

    Perps volume on Phoenix and Solflare counts toward the season boards. Weekly spot campaigns rank spot volume.

  2. 02

    PnL

    Separate boards rank traders by PnL, so skill counts as well as size.

  3. 03

    Leaderboards

    Season and weekly boards for volume and PnL. Weekly boards reset every week.

  4. 04

    Crates

    Crates unlock at volume milestones, with rewards of up to $25,000.

  5. 05

    VIP Taker and VIP Maker

    Coming soon

    Rebates for high-volume traders, trading firms and market makers.

Full eligibility and payout rules are in the Season 1 campaign terms.

What is next

Season 1 builds to the Grand Final at Breakpoint in London, where eight finalists compete to become the first Frontier World Champion. VIP Taker and VIP Maker open next.
