Rails Airdrop - Another Perp Dex Airdrop. Tutorial

Rails: An Overview

Rails (@rails_xyz) is a hybrid perpetual futures (perps) DEX built on Kraken's Ink L2 (an Optimism-based chain), combining CEX-like sub-millisecond execution speeds with full on-chain custody for user funds. It supports up to 100x leverage on crypto assets, zero gas fees, and features like limit orders and audited smart contract wallets. Backed by $20.2 million from investors including Kraken Ventures, CMCC Global, Slow Ventures, and Round13 Capital, it has processed over $3 billion in trading volume since launch. The native $RAILS token, with TGE planned for Q1 2026, will enable governance, staking for rewards, and platform utilities. As of December 5, 2025, Rails operates a multi-phase points program allocating 40% of total supply to community rewards based on verified on-chain and off-chain activity.

Qualifying for the Rails Airdrop

The $RAILS airdrop is distributed via a points-based system across phases, with eligibility tied to cumulative points from trading, community engagement, and campaigns. Points convert to tokens at TGE (pro-rata based on total pool; no minimum threshold, but higher points yield larger shares). Phase II (live as of December 2025) distributes 3 million participation points to all active traders (no volume minimum), plus 300,000 weekly leaderboard points. Sybil detection uses on-chain verification; multi-wallet farming may reduce allocations. Total community allocation: 40% of supply, including 0.5% for InfoFi creators.

Key Earning Activities and Points

Activity	Points Structure	Notes
On-Chain Trading	3M one-time for Phase II participation; weekly leaderboard shares (top ranks prioritized)	Execute trades (long/short, limit orders); volume and consistency matter. Start with $100+ USDC collateral.
Discord Engagement	XP per minute active; role-based multipliers (e.g., Hashling L5: 1x, Root Guardian L35: 5x)	Verify in Discord; level up via chats/tasks for roles like Connector (L10) or Proof Keeper (L50).
Rails Play (Funded Accounts)	Real points/rewards from simulated trades ($20/$50/$100 accounts)	No personal capital risked; earn via P&L on demo positions (e.g., $100 account yields up to 10% of profits in points).
Referrals/Social Quests	10% of invitee's points; Galxe missions (e.g., follows, reposts)	Unlimited; complete via Galxe for one-time bonuses.
Liquidity Provision	Bonus multipliers on maker orders	Post limit orders; earns rebates (0.02% maker fee).

Steps to Qualify and Maximize Points

1. Set Up Wallet and Access: Connect an EVM-compatible wallet (e.g., MetaMask) at https://trade.rails.xyz. Fund with USDC via Ink bridge; complete KYC if in regulated regions (U.S.-compliant via CIMA).

2. Join Discord and Verify: Enter https://discord.gg/rails, verify via #verification channel, and review announcements for Phase II terms. Stay active daily for XP (e.g., discussions earn 1 XP/minute).

3. Claim Rails Pass: In Discord (#rails-upgrade), complete daily/engagement tasks (e.g., 500 points from quests) to redeem a pass for early ecosystem access and point multipliers.

4. Trade and Farm: Open positions (e.g., BTC-PERP long/short); aim for 2–5 trades/week to hit leaderboards. Use Rails Play for low-risk entry: Sign up in-app, select funded account, trade demo markets.

5. Complete Quests: Run Galxe campaigns (search "Rails" on Galxe); refer via unique links for 10% bonus.

6. Track Progress: Dashboard at trade.rails.xyz shows points, ranks, and XP. Snapshots weekly; Phase II ends pre-TGE.

7. Claim Post-TGE: Tokens vest linearly (details TBD); claim via wallet on-site.

Active traders report 500–2,000 points/week from $1,000 volume; focus on maker orders to offset 0.05% taker fees.

Rails' InfoFi Campaign on Cookie

Rails launched a mindshare (InfoFi) campaign on Cookie.fun on November 27, 2025, allocating 0.5% of $RAILS total supply to top 150 creators and $COOKIE stakers. Rewards distribute at TGE (unlocked, pro-rata by rank), tying directly to the main airdrop by boosting overall community points. Estimated USD value for top ranks: $12K–$37K (based on current projections; actual depends on TGE price). The 3-month campaign (ends ~February 2026) scores X posts via AI for quality/originality (mindshare metric).

Participation Steps

1. Sign Up via Referral: Join at https://www.cookie.fun/QIpRyRnC for starter bonuses.

2. Connect and Access: Link X/wallet; navigate to https://www.cookie.fun/campaigns/rails leaderboard.

3. Post Content: Share threads/analyses on $RAILS (e.g., hybrid model, points strategies). Tag @rails_xyz; include on-chain data for higher scores.

4. Daily Quests: Complete reposts/tags for multipliers; aim for 5–10 posts/week.

5. Climb Ranks: Top mindshare (e.g., #1: 14.1%) shares pool; stakers earn passively.

Current leaderboard favors structured posts (e.g., trading guides); 70% to creators, 30% to stakers.
