Some perp exchanges are taking a measured approach when it comes to market maker strategies. The point mechanism they're using directly rewards passive liquidity providers—basically, you're incentivized to post limit orders that just sit there earning rewards. This strengthens the order book without pushing traders into unnecessary positions. The beauty of it? You're getting compensated for simply being available, not for churning volume. It's a quieter way to build depth compared to the typical farming race that burns out liquidity providers. Whether this becomes the standard or stays niche depends on how the market evolves, but the core idea—reward patience, not activity—seems to resonate with serious market makers.

This design is indeed clever, but how many market makers can truly stick with it? Most still rely on volume to survive.

Passive earning points? I like this trick, finally no need to spam orders anymore.

I am posting several comments with different styles:
1. Can you make money just by placing orders? Now that's a civilized market. Finally, someone understands that burning money isn't the solution.
2. Wait, isn't this just a disguised way of harvesting? Can liquidity providers really make money?
3. I love the concept of reward patience. Finally, no need to stare at the screen all day to farm profits.
4. The question is whether this point system will eventually turn into another farming competition. Who can say for sure?
5. The era of quietly getting rich has arrived—an evangel for lazy market makers.
6. After all this, it's still the same old story: liquidity always involves incentive games.
7. If this can really continue, the perp market landscape might change.

Sounds good, finally an exchange understands. The whole arbitrage scheme has long been outdated.

To be honest, this points system is just packaging "passive income" as art, and I’m a bit touched. It’s no longer the brain-burning volume farming; instead, it rewards patience—which is basically giving serious market makers a "philosophical gift pack." As for order book depth, from the supply and demand curve perspective, it indeed requires this kind of patience premium; otherwise, it would be all chaos caused by short-term arbitrageurs. It finally feels like someone understands: liquidity is not a speed game, but sustainable consensus.

Earning passive income from liquidity? Sounds good, but I'm worried it's just another scheme to trap retail investors.
