Apex Protocol Airdrop - Qualification Guide.

ApeX Protocol is a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on Arbitrum, specializing in perpetual futures and spot trading with up to 100x leverage. It uses zk-proofs for secure, self-custodial trades, aggregates multi-chain liquidity, and offers zero gas fees on many operations. Key features include copy-trading vaults, staking for $APEX token rewards, and AI-driven market insights.

ApeX Protocol Airdrop and Rewards Overview

ApeX Protocol does have an active rewards program that includes airdrop-style distributions of $APEX tokens, primarily through its APE Season 1 campaign launched in October 2025. This is not a one-time snapshot airdrop but an ongoing points-based system distributing up to 69 million APE points over 12 weeks, redeemable for $APEX tokens and other rewards.

Eligibility and Qualification for APE Season 1 Rewards

To qualify, users must earn APE points through verifiable on-platform activities. Points are calculated weekly via epochs (e.g., Epoch 7 results distributed December 2025), with multipliers from boosters like staking or deposits on partner networks (e.g., Mantle). No minimum points guarantee rewards, but higher rankings unlock larger shares—top 100 requires ~9,878 points per epoch, top 1,000 ~190 points.

Activity	Points Earned	Details
Trading Volume	1 point per $1 USDT traded (perps/spot)	Applies to ApeX Omni; volume across all pairs counts. Boosted by 1.5x for new pairs like $ZEC or $MNT.
Staking $APEX	Up to 2x multiplier on points	Lock $APEX for weekly revenue shares (e.g., 61,737 $APEX distributed week of Dec 12, 2025).
Referrals & Boosters	10-50% bonus	Invite via referral program; deposit on Mantle for extra.
Community Tasks	100-500 points	Join Traders Club Telegram for volume proofs; participate in events like AI Trading Arena ($25K pool, ended Nov 11).

1. Connect a wallet (e.g., MetaMask) at omni.apex.exchange and trade on ApeX Omni (perps or spot, zero gas on supported chains).

2. Track points on the APE dashboard: omni.apex.exchange/ape (updates weekly, e.g., 5.75M points per epoch).
