The median wallet has 3.65 pts against a mean of 55.09, and the top 1% hold 49% of everything paid. Tiers are pure percentile bands, so the bar rises every week. Rate measured on the last paid week: 250K points over $2.01B of market volume, counted on both sides of each trade.
How to earn more points
From Arcus's Season 1 launch post, plus what we measured from the public API.
Make, do not take
Market making with tight, deep, consistent quotes is its own points category, and makers pay 0% fees through tier 4. A taker pays about $3.61 in fees per point at this week's rate; a maker pays nothing.
Trade stock tokens, especially after hours
Real-world assets earn more than crypto. RWA perps traded outside US market hours earn more again: 8PM to 4AM ET overnight, weekends, and US market holidays on markets that quote then.
Volume is the base, quality is the multiplier
measuredArcus weights trading by how you trade, not volume alone, but volume share still explains most of it: the venue averaged 62.3 pts per $1M last week, and a maker-heavy RWA wallet we checked landed within 10% of that.
Keep collateral on the venue
Collateral that stays deposited is a points category of its own. Deposit-trade-withdraw cycles are explicitly penalised, so parked capital beats a round trip.
Bring traders in
Referrals earn bonus points on what your invitees do, on top of 10% / 3% / 2% of their net perps fees. You get one invite code per $1M of your own perps volume and per $1M your direct referrals trade, and codes never expire.
Swap through Robinhood Wallet
Robinhood Wallet swaps routed through Arcus get a boost inside spot points.
Do not farm it like a bot
Wash trading, self-matching, wallet splitting, referral rings and delta-neutral or hedged farming can cut points to zero, retroactively, and slashed points are handed to everyone else.
