Your guide to Monday Trade’s 1,000,000 MON + USDC reward campaign running during Monad mainnet’s first month.
Last updated on December 9, 2025. Originally posted on November 24, 2025.
The Momentum Referral Campaign has officially arrived — a one-month, platform-wide incentives program built to amplify real trading activity during Monad’s mainnet launch. Monday Trade is participating with its own 1,000,000 MON + USDC reward pool, distributed weekly to the most active and engaged users across the platform.
If you trade, provide liquidity, refer friends, or generally use Monday Trade during this period, you earn points. These points determine your weekly leaderboard position. Higher ranks earn a larger share of rewards.
Below, you’ll find everything you need to know about how to earn Momentum rewards and how the campaign fits within Monday Trade’s broader incentives ecosystem.
How to earn Momentum Referral rewards
Momentum rewards your participation across Monday Trade during the first month of Monad mainnet. All genuine user activity counts, with a mix of trading, referrals, and engagement contributing to your weekly score.
Here’s exactly how rewards are earned:
1. Trade perps on Monday Trade from mainnet day one
Trading perpetual futures on Monday Trade is the key to unlocking referral slots. For every $1,000 in Perp trading volume you generate, you earn 5 invite quotas. Use these quotas to refer friends and begin climbing the Momentum Campaign leaderboard.
2. Refer friends, earn 20% of their points
Each user has a unique Monday Trade referral link.
When someone signs up using your link and begins trading or providing liquidity:
- They earn points
- You earn 20% of the points they generate
- Your Momentum leaderboard rank increases
Strong, active referrals are one of the fastest ways to climb the leaderboard.
3. All platform activity counts
Momentum scores are based on all genuine participation across Monday Trade: perp trades, spot swaps, providing liquidity, and other fee-generating actions inside the platform.
The more active you are, the more points you earn and the higher your share of the weekly reward pool.
⚠️ Fake activity, wash trading, bot behavior, and other forms of manipulation are strictly disqualified.

How weekly rewards are distributed
From Week 2 onward, Monday Trade applies a clear, transparent structure for Momentum rewards:
- Winners: Up to Top 50 users on the Momentum leaderboard each week
- Minimum threshold: Each winner must have at least 1,000 Momentum Points earned via their referral link.
- If a wallet in the Top 50 has fewer than 1,000 points, it is not eligible, and we move down the leaderboard until we have up to 50 eligible winners.
Each epoch has its own MON + USDC reward pool, which is announced publicly.
For example, Week 2 distributes:
- 10,000 USDC + 250,000 MON (including campaign setup fee),
- Split across the Top 50 eligible users according to a predefined rank-based distribution.
We also enforce strict fair-play rules:
- No self-referrals,
- No wash trading, fake volume, or multi-account farming,
- Monday Trade reserves the right to disqualify any addresses that show abnormal or abusive behavior before rewards are distributed.
This structure keeps the campaign competitive while protecting genuine users.
How Momentum fits into Monday Trade’s rewards ecosystem
Monday Trade currently runs three separate incentive layers, each designed for a different type of user action:
→ Voyage Points Program (24 weeks)
Our long-term program rewarding trading, liquidity provision, perp position holding, daily consistency, and referrals. Every week, 2M Voyage Points are distributed across all users.
→ Momentum Referral Campaign (4 weeks)
A short-term, referral-focused campaign running during Monad’s first month. Momentum rewards you for referring active traders and gives you 20% of your referees’ Voyage Points, amplifying your long-term earnings.
→ Merkl Liquidity Campaigns
Independent, pool-specific incentives for LPs on markets such as MON/USDC. Monday Trade funds the reward pool; Merkl provides visibility and distribution.
These three programs run in parallel — and users can earn from all of them simultaneously.
