A leading perpetual trading platform recently adjusted its Maker points mechanism. The core logic of the new rules is straightforward— as long as you place an order, you can earn points, unlike traditional leveraged trading that requires high-frequency order placement. The benefits of this approach are obvious: firstly, the liquidity on trading pairs will significantly improve, and the order book depth will increase considerably; secondly, for participants, it is theoretically possible to accumulate profits under relatively risk-free conditions.

To balance the interests of all parties, the team has designed the rules with careful consideration to ensure that the interests of market makers, liquidity providers, and ordinary traders do not conflict excessively. This differentiated incentive approach is becoming a new trend among leading exchanges to optimize the microstructure of the market.

Placing orders earns points? I’m familiar with this trick, are they really being honest or just trying to cut the leeks again? It depends on how they end up.

Placing orders to earn profits, this operation does have some tricks, but it depends on whether the platform genuinely intends to give points. Wait, "relatively risk-free"? Brother, that's a pretty strong word to use. Always talking about balancing interests, but in the end, it's still big players eating the meat and small investors drinking the soup. This incentive mechanism feels like a disguised way to encourage hoarding orders. Liquidity has increased, but what about the actual trading volume? Damn, another new trick to cut leeks, euphemistically called market-making incentives. Honestly, compared to front-running, it's easier, but I'm more concerned about what these points can finally be exchanged for.

Can you earn points just by placing orders? Sounds good, but the phrase "relatively risk-free" is really a clever way to put it... Wait, has the profit margin for market makers been squeezed again? Basically, the platform is subsidizing liquidity with points. Clever, yes, but I'm worried about future point devaluation... Balancing the interests of all parties? Ha, in the end, no one should expect to get a free ride. This round of rule adjustments feels a bit like a "balance trap." Who benefits and who loses will depend on subsequent parameter fine-tuning. The real test is how long this mechanism can last without collapsing. Another "theoretically" stable income, but in reality, it still depends on who reacts fastest. So, is now the time to jump into market making as a trend or a trap? I'm a bit inspired to give a salute.

Can placing orders earn points? Sounds good, but I have to question the words "relatively risk-free"... What if slippage occurs? --- Another beautified version of the wash trading mechanism, just a different way of saying it. In the end, big players still eat the most. --- Liquidity improvement is real, but is this approach friendly to retail investors? Honestly, it's a bit questionable. --- Balancing the interests of all parties? Haha, we all know who can squeeze out the most value in the end. --- Wait, is this encouraging market manipulation? Or is it really just about increasing liquidity... I can't quite understand. --- Risk-free yield accumulation, wow, this phrase is used perfectly. I'm just wondering if it's another scheme to harvest new little guys.

Placing orders can earn points, this time it's really a benefit for lazy people. Finally, no more 996 grind for order processing.

Placing orders to earn points? Sounds good, but this "risk-free" claim is a bit of a stretch. When the market fluctuates, you'll still get caught off guard. --- Once again, it's about balancing interests. It sounds nice, but in the end, it's just big players taking advantage. --- This adjustment is indeed clever. With increased liquidity, the trading experience is much smoother. No more frantic order spamming like a lunatic. --- Wait, is this encouraging market making or just encouraging placing orders and not moving them? Feels like there are quite a few loopholes in the rules. --- Where does the risk-free return come from? There’s no such thing as a free lunch, brother. --- Good idea, but I’m worried it’s just another case of initial benefits followed by cuts. Too many tricks involved. --- Finally, a platform has thought of this approach. The previous method of earning points was really too exhausting. --- Deep improvements are a good thing, but for ordinary traders, it probably doesn’t make much difference.
