Easter is hitting Velvet.

From April 3 to April 6, every trade you make across Base, BNB Chain, and Solana earns you Easter Eggs and every Egg gives you a shot at cracking open a share of 15,000,000 Gems.

For 4 days only, every swap puts you deeper in the hunt.

More trades means more Eggs.
More Eggs means more entries.
More entries means better odds of winning big.

This is not your average trading competition.

This is an Easter Egg hunt for onchain traders.

Hunt Eggs. Stack Entries. Win Gems.

The mechanic is simple.

For every $250 traded on Velvet during the campaign, you earn 1 Easter Egg.

How it works

• 1 Easter Egg for every $250 traded

• All pairs on Base, BNB Chain, and Solana are eligible

• Each Easter Egg = 1 entry into the final draw

That means every trade gets you closer to more rewards.

Trade once, get in the hunt.
Trade bigger, stack more Eggs.
Trade harder, boost your odds.

15,000,000 Gems Are Up for Grabs

We’re dropping 15 million Gems across 96 winners.

Diamond Eggs

• 6 winners

• 750,000 Gems each

Golden Eggs

• 30 winners

• 250,000 Gems each

Bunny Eggs

• 60 winners

• 50,000 Gems each

Big traders get more chances and everyone gets a shot.

That’s the beauty of the hunt.

How Winners Are Chosen

At the end of the competition, rewards will be distributed through a random draw.

Each Easter Egg you earn gives you one chance to win.

So the more volume you trade, the more Eggs you collect.
And the more Eggs you collect, the better your chances of landing one of the prize rewards.

Simple. Transparent. Addictive.

Why Trade This on Velvet?

Because Velvet is built for exactly this.

You get fast, seamless onchain trading across the ecosystems that matter most — with access to all pairs on Base, BNB Chain, and Solana in one place.

That means:

• More opportunities to trade

• Better access to onchain momentum

• Smooth execution through Velvet’s routing infrastructure

• And now, extra upside through Easter Egg rewards

So while you’re already trading the market, you’re also stacking entries for a shot at millions of Gems.

The Hunt Starts April 3

This one only runs for 4 days.

From April 3 to April 6, every eligible trade on Velvet helps you collect more Easter Eggs and increase your chances of winning.

No quests.
No forms.
No extra steps.

Just trade and hunt.

Velvet is excited to announce a new integration with Printr, bringing Printr token launches directly into the Velvet trading terminal.

With this integration, Velvet users can now discover and trade any token launched through Printr across multiple chains directly from Velvet’s Trenches section.

Supported chains include:

• Solana

• Base

• BNB Chain

• Monad

This means traders no longer need to monitor multiple launchpads or jump between tools to catch early token opportunities. Everything can now be discovered and traded from one unified interface inside Velvet.

What Is Printr?

Printr is a multi-chain token launch infrastructure platform designed to make launching and distributing tokens simple, fast, and accessible.

Instead of building complex deployment infrastructure from scratch, projects can use Printr to create and launch tokens across multiple chains through a streamlined interface and standardized launch framework.

Key capabilities of Printr include:

• Multi-chain token deployments across ecosystems like Solana, Base, BNB Chain, and Monad

• Launch automation that simplifies token creation and distribution

• Standardized launch mechanics that make it easier for traders and communities to participate

• Tools for creators and communities to launch tokens quickly without deep technical expertise

Printr is focused on reducing friction in the token launch process, enabling faster experimentation and easier access to new on-chain markets.

As more projects use Printr to deploy tokens across ecosystems, it has become an increasingly important source of early token discovery.

How Printr Fee Distribution Works

One of the unique aspects of Printr launches is how trading fees generated from the token’s liquidity are distributed.

Printr allows token creators to configure custom fees and flexible fee distribution models, with routing options that can include allocations to Creator, Staking, Buyback, and Liquidity.

A standout feature is Proof of Belief (POB) staking mode.Launching with Printr V2 soon. When enabled, all custom fees flow to stakers not directly to creators. Creators prove their commitment by staking alongside the community, ensuring everyone has skin in the game and shifting from extractive models to true incentive alignment.

Fees are distributed based on staking duration and multipliers:

• Longer stakes unlock higher multipliers, allowing participants to capture a bigger share of the fee pool.

• As trading volume increases, stakers earn more fees proportional to their stake and multiplier.

The result is a transparent, onchain-verifiable model where activity around a new token directly benefits those who believe in and support its long-term success.

Trade Printr Launches in Velvet’s Trenches

Velvet’s Trenches section is built for traders who want to stay ahead of the market and capture opportunities as soon as they appear.

With the Printr integration, every token launched through Printr automatically becomes tradable inside Velvet.

From the Trenches section, traders can:

• Discover newly launched Printr tokens

• Monitor early trading activity

• Execute swaps instantly without leaving the terminal

• Trade launches across multiple chains from a single interface

This dramatically reduces the time between token launch → discovery → execution, which is critical in fast-moving markets.

Powered by Velvet’s AI and Intent-Based Trading Engine

Behind the scenes, Velvet combines AI-powered intelligence with its intent-based execution engine to deliver the best possible trading experience.

Instead of manually navigating multiple DEXs or liquidity sources, users simply specify:

• the token they want to sell

• the token they want to buy

Velvet then handles everything else automatically.

Using a combination of liquidity pools, DEX aggregators, AMMs, and market makers, Velvet finds the most optimal route and executes the trade on behalf of the user.

At the same time, Velvet’s AI layer analyzes market data, on-chain activity, and trading signals to help traders identify opportunities earlier and make more informed decisions.

This combination of AI-driven insights and automated execution infrastructure allows traders to move quickly during launches without worrying about routing complexity or missing opportunities.

Why This Matters for Traders

Token launches are some of the most competitive and fastest-moving opportunities in crypto.

The ability to discover and trade new tokens immediately can determine whether traders capture the opportunity or miss it entirely.

By integrating Printr into Velvet’s Trenches, traders gain:

• Faster discovery of new launches

• Instant trading access

• Cross-chain launch opportunities

• Optimized execution during volatile market conditions

This makes Velvet a single hub for discovering and trading new token launches across ecosystems.

The Trenches Just Got Deeper

Velvet’s goal with the Trenches is simple: give traders the tools they need to spot opportunities early and execute instantly.

With Printr now integrated, new token launches across Solana, Base, BNB Chain, and Monad are instantly tradable inside Velvet.

And this is just the beginning.

More launch platforms, discovery tools, and execution upgrades are coming soon.

Explore the Trenches on Velvet and catch the next launch before the rest of the market.

20 million Bitcoin have now been mined.

To celebrate this historic milestone, Velvet is launching a Bitcoin Trading Competition where traders can mine their share of 20,000,000 Gems.

For the next 114 hours, every BTC trade you make on Velvet earns you tickets for a massive Gem raffle, with larger trading volume giving you better odds of winning.

Why 114 hours? Because the final 1 million BTC will take roughly 114 years to mine.

Now it’s your turn to mine rewards.

How the Competition Works

Participating is simple.

Every time you trade Bitcoin pairs on Velvet, you earn tickets that enter you into the competition draw.

Ticket Mechanics

• 1 ticket for every $1,000 traded

• Trading volume counts across Base, BNB Chain, and Solana

• Each ticket equals one entry into the reward draw

Eligible BTC pairs include:

• cbBTC on Base

• BTCB on BNB Chain

• cbBTC on Solana

The more volume you trade, the more tickets you accumulate and the higher your chances of winning.

How Winners Are Selected

All rewards are distributed through a weighted random draw.

Each ticket you earn represents one chance to win, meaning traders who generate more volume naturally improve their odds.

This structure ensures that both active traders and high-volume participants have strong opportunities to claim rewards.

Prize Pool: 20,000,000 Gems

To commemorate 20 million BTC mined, Velvet is distributing 20 million Gems to competition participants.

Grand Prize

1 Winner
2,500,000 Gems

Big Prize

5 Winners
1,000,000 Gems each

Total: 5,000,000 Gems

Normie Prize

50 Winners
250,000 Gems each

Total: 12,500,000 Gems

In total, 56 traders will win rewards from the Gem pool.

All prizes will be distributed after the campaign concludes.

Why Trade Bitcoin on Velvet?

Velvet provides one of the fastest and most seamless ways to trade Bitcoin across multiple chains.

When trading BTC pairs on Velvet you get:

• Intent-based routing for optimized trade execution

• Multi-chain access across Base, BNB Chain, and Solana

• Seamless one-click swaps across liquidity sources

• Gem rewards for trading activity across the Velvet ecosystem

Now, during this competition, every trade also increases your chances of landing a massive Gem payout.

The Clock Is Ticking

This competition will run for 114 hours only.

Trade Bitcoin pairs, accumulate tickets, and boost your odds before the timer runs out.

The more volume you generate, the more chances you have to mine your share of the 20M Gem pool.

Bitcoin mined 20 million.
Now it’s your turn to mine 20m Gems on Velvet.

Epoch 9 Is Live (March 10 to April 10)

Epoch 9 of the Velvet Gems Campaign is officially underway.

From March 10 through April 10, users will compete for 946,282 $VELVET, distributed at the end of the epoch.

With the major updates to the Gems system already introduced in previous epochs, Epoch 9 continues with the same mechanics, allowing users to compete under a stable and well understood rewards structure.

If you have been actively mining Gems, this is your opportunity to continue climbing the ranks and securing a larger share of the monthly reward pool.

Ranked Gems Rewards

Rewards continue to follow the rank based Gems distribution system.

Instead of spreading rewards evenly across all participants, $VELVET is distributed based on your Gems rank relative to other users.

• Rank 1 receives 5% of the total Gems allocation

• Top 10 receive the largest fixed allocations

• Ranks beyond the top tier follow a sliding scale distribution

• Remaining active users still receive a portion of the pool

The higher your rank, the larger your share of the monthly $VELVET rewards.

Why Ranked Rewards Matter

The ranked model ensures that rewards flow toward the users who contribute the most to the Velvet ecosystem.

This system encourages:

• Higher trading activity

• Greater ecosystem participation

• Long term commitment to the protocol

Users who consistently bring value to Velvet are rewarded accordingly.

Gems Are Based on Fees Paid

Gems generation continues to be based on fees paid through trading activity, rather than TVL.

This model ensures rewards reflect real economic contribution to the protocol.

By tying Gems to fees:

• Trading activity directly translates into rewards

• The system becomes harder to manipulate

• Rewards align with protocol revenue and growth

This approach keeps the incentive system fair, transparent, and sustainable as Velvet continues expanding its trading infrastructure.

Core Ways to Compete

Your rank is determined by the same core actions:

• Trade on Velvet and generate fees

• Stake $VELVET into veVELVET to strengthen alignment with the ecosystem

• Invite active users and earn from their activity

• Maintain your daily Gem streak by claiming every day

Remember:

Gems must be claimed daily.

Unclaimed Gems expire and do not count toward rankings.

Want Another Reason to Accumulate $VELVET Through Gems?

Velvet is preparing to launch one of the most powerful features in our roadmap: Prompt-to-Strategy.

This system will allow you to use Velvet AI Agents to run fully automated portfolio strategies across DeFi.

Instead of manually managing positions, you will be able to describe a strategy and let agents execute it onchain.

Examples include:

• Memecoin trading strategies

• Yield farming strategies

• Momentum based trading strategies

• Arbitrage strategies

• Market neutral strategies

To run these strategies, users will need strategy credits, which can be acquired in two ways:

• Holding veVELVET, which provides monthly credits

• Pay as you go when running strategies

This means the more $VELVET you accumulate and stake into veVELVET, the more strategies you can run.

So while you’re mining Gems each month, you’re not just earning rewards. You’re also building the fuel needed to run autonomous DeFi strategies on Velvet.

Key Dates

• Activity window: March 10 to April 10, 2026

• Distribution: April 10, 2026

• Total rewards: 946,282 $VELVET

Keep Climbing

Epoch 9 continues the competitive environment introduced in recent updates. With mechanics unchanged, the focus remains simple:

AI Updates: AlphaHub and Live Strategies

AlphaHub Goes Live

We launched AlphaHub, a live signal engine that surfaces the tokens our AI agents are bullish on at any given moment.

AlphaHub is now live on Base, Solana, and BNB Chain.

20+ Live AI Strategies Across Chains

We now have:

• 7 strategies live on Base

• 7 strategies live on Solana

Trade Magnet: Targets tokens attracting heavy trading activity and strong market interest.

Big Player: Tracks tokens drawing attention from whales and notable investors.

Spike Hunter: Catches sudden volume explosions signaling imminent price moves.

Velvet Unicorn: Curated trading signals powered by the Velvet Unicorn AI.

This is DeFAI in practice: structured, signal-driven execution across multiple ecosystems.

Tech & Product Updates

January focused heavily on improving the trading experience and rewarding real users.

Advanced Orders: DCA Live

We added DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) as a new order type, giving traders more flexibility beyond simple market orders and smooth out buys or sells.

Speed & Reliability Improvements

We optimized app speed and execution reliability to deliver a smoother trading experience across chains.

We also improved token charts and trading graphs to make decision-making faster and clearer.

Rank-Based Gems Distribution

We transitioned Gems distribution to a rank-based system, instead of normalization — ensuring real users and high contributors are rewarded proportionally.

Custom Referral Codes + 15% Cashback

Users can now create custom referral codes for easier sharing with friends and new users receive 15% cashback for their first month, accelerating onboarding and retention.

UX & Trading Improvements

We shipped multiple quality-of-life upgrades:

• Hide scam tokens manually on the My Positions tab

• Added price up/down arrows for clarity

• Transaction table filters

• Fixed buy/sell token glitches

• Continued mobile landing page refinements

Community & Ecosystem Updates

January was one of our strongest community months to date.

Velvet Cashback Launch

• veVELVET holdings

• 30-day rolling trading volume

This transforms $VELVET from governance-only into an active trading utility token.

Gems Campaigns

• Epoch 6 concluded with 977,256 $VELVET distributed

• Epoch 7 announced with 968,305 $VELVET, launching February 10th with rewards going live yesterday

Epoch 7 closed out the year with 968,305 $VELVET distributed to users who stayed active across Velvet through trading, staking, referrals, portfolio creation, and daily Gem claims.

Before Epoch 6 came to an end, we announced a change to how Gems rewards would be distributed. The goal was clear. As Velvet grows, rewards must increasingly reflect who is driving the most value to the ecosystem.

Claim your Epoch 7 Gems

Epoch 8 Is Live (February 10 → March 10)

Epoch 8 of the Velvet Gems Campaign is officially live.

From February 10 through March 10, users will compete for 957,964 $VELVET, distributed at the end of the epoch.

As Velvet continues expanding into new asset types and more advanced trading infrastructure, the Gems system is evolving to ensure rewards are aligned with sustainable activity.

Ranked Gems Rewards Continue

Epoch 8 continues with the rank based rewards model introduced previously.

Instead of spreading rewards evenly across all participants, $VELVET is distributed based on your Gems rank.

• Rank 1 receives 5% of the total Gems allocation

• Top 10 receive the highest fixed allocations

• Ranks beyond Top 10 follow a sliding scale

• The remaining active users still receive a share

The higher your rank, the larger your share of the monthly pool.

Why This Change Matters

The ranked system ensures:

• Users driving the most value to Velvet earn the most

• Rewards scale with real contribution

• Incentives remain competitive and performance based

This keeps the ecosystem efficient, merit driven, and aligned with growth.

New in Epoch 8: Gems Are Now Based on Fees Paid

Starting this epoch, Gems are calculated based on fees paid, not TVL.

As Velvet prepares to launch more asset types and expand the trading surface area of the platform, rewards must reflect actual economic contribution, not passive capital placement.

What Changed

• Trading fees paid now determine Gem generation instead of Volume calculation

• TVL no longer contributes toward Gems

Why This Update Was Needed

Under the previous TVL model, certain users were able to:

• Add illiquid or scam tokens to portfolios

• Exploit inaccurate pricing data

• Artificially inflate TVL

• Earn more Gems than they should have

By moving to a fee based system, rewards now reflect:

• Real trading activity

• Real protocol revenue

• Real contribution to the Velvet ecosystem

If you were trading real tokens in previous epochs, your Gem amount on swaps will remain the same.

This makes the system cleaner, harder to game, and better aligned with long term growth.

Core Ways to Compete

Your rank is now shaped by:

• Trading activity and fees paid

• veVELVET staking alignment

• Bringing active users

• Maintaining your daily Gem streak

Remember: Gems must be claimed daily. Unclaimed Gems expire and do not count toward rankings.

Key Dates

• Activity window: February 10 to March 10, 2026

• Distribution: March 10, 2026

• Total rewards: 957,964 $VELVET

Epoch 8 Is About Real Alignment

As Velvet expands, incentives evolve.

Fee based Gems ensure that rewards flow to users who actively power the ecosystem, while ranked distribution ensures those contributions are properly weighted.

Trade with purpose.
Stay consistent.
Climb the ranks.

Things are heating up.

The $LAVA trading competition is officially live on Velvet on Base, with 2,800,000 $LAVA in total rewards up for grabs for traders and stakers.

This campaign runs until February 9th, giving participants the opportunity to earn rewards while trading one of the most unique on-chain games currently live on Base.

Trade $LAVA on Base and earn!

What is $LAVA?

LAVA is an on-chain game built on Base and Base App that turns trading into a high-stakes game of timing, strategy, and conviction.

At its core, LAVA works like this:

• A 24-hour countdown timer is always running

• Any user who buys 1% of the ETH LP resets the timer

• If the timer ever hits zero, the last qualifying buyer wins 50% of the ETH prize pool

The current prize pool sits at roughly ~4 ETH.

To raise the stakes further, LAVA introduces a rising floor price that blocks sells below it:

• Floor increases 5% per day for the first 90 days

• Then 1% per day thereafter

Each entry becomes progressively more expensive, turning the game into a battle of patience and pressure. Eventually, someone blinks. The game resets. And it starts again.

Users can still buy and sell smaller amounts, but only buys larger or equal to 1% of LP reset the timer, making those moments the key inflection points.

Learn more: https://floorislava.xyz/faq

Is LAVA a Memecoin?

No. While LAVA may look like a memecoin on the surface, it is a rules-based onchain elimination-style game with real ETH mechanics, fully enforced by smart contracts.

There is zero reliance on hype or promises. Every outcome is driven by transparent, predictable rules that anyone can verify onchain.

Think of LAVA as a ponzinomic-style game, but with clearly defined mechanics, fixed incentives, and no discretionary control.

Nothing is narrative-driven.
Nothing is subjective.
The system runs purely on player behavior and onchain logic.

What is A.T.M. ($ATM)?

A.T.M. by BaseVol is your onchain Morgan St(AI)nley.

It is an Autonomous Trading Machine designed to democratize 0DTE options trading and intelligent yield generation for everyone.

Built by the Base Batches-winning BaseVol team and powered by their onchain options infrastructure, A.T.M. agents:

• Manage options strategy vaults

• Automate leveraged and delta-neutral trades

• Source real-time alpha across markets

• Deliver institutional-grade execution through autonomous agents

From ultra-high APY vaults to seamless agentic execution, $ATM gives users direct exposure to the agent-powered future of finance, where every vault is self-managed and every trade is optimized.

A.T.M. is a specialized agent product line built on top of the BaseVol stack. It is not a platform-wide governance token, but a focused, high-yield subprotocol within the BaseVol ecosystem.

The $ATM Flywheel Explained

$ATM is designed to capture and amplify value created by the Genesis Vault, a 0DTE options-selling strategy built on BaseVol.

How the Flywheel Works

• Users hold and stake $ATM to unlock full Genesis Vault benefits

• Genesis Vault TVL grows

• Vaults generate more value through options strategies

• A portion of management and performance attributions may flow back into the $ATM ecosystem

• $ATM demand and utility increase

• The flywheel accelerates

Additional mechanisms like mindshare rewards, leaderboard recognition, and incentive campaigns further reinforce this loop over time.

The result is a self-reinforcing system where vault performance, user participation, and token utility compound together.

This integration is a major step forward in our mission to deliver institution-grade execution on-chain, especially in high-volatility environments where speed, priority, and fill quality matter most.

What Is MEV on Solana?

MEV, or Maximal Extractable Value, refers to the additional value that can be captured by controlling transaction ordering, inclusion, or timing within a block.

On Solana, MEV looks different from Ethereum, but it still exists and matters.

Because Solana uses:

• A high-throughput, low-latency runtime

• Leader-based block production

• Priority fees and validator incentives

MEV on Solana typically shows up as:

• Priority fee wars during congestion

• Latency races between bots and traders

• Missed or delayed transactions when blocks fill quickly

• Worse execution prices if a trade lands later than intended

In fast-moving markets, even small delays can mean the difference between a clean fill and a failed or unfavorable trade.

Why MEV Is a Problem for Traders

When markets are active (new launches, memes, volatility spikes):

• Validators only include a limited set of transactions per block

• Transactions compete using priority fees and tips

• Faster paths to validators often win

Without MEV-aware routing, trades may:

• Never land

• Land several slots later

• Execute after price has already moved

This disproportionately affects:

• Larger trades

• Time-sensitive strategies

• Automated bots

• Power users during peak congestion

How 0slot Helps with MEV on Solana

0slot provides infrastructure designed specifically to improve transaction inclusion and execution quality on Solana.

Instead of relying solely on the public transaction pipeline, 0slot enables:

• More direct paths to validators

• Optimized handling of priority fees and incentives

• Reduced latency between trade submission and block inclusion

The result is higher landing probability and better pricing, especially when competition for block space is high.

How Velvet Uses 0slot

Velvet’s trading stack is built around intent-based execution.

Users only specify:

• The token they want to sell

• The token they want to buy

From there, Velvet handles everything else.

With 0slot integrated on Solana, Velvet can now:

• Route eligible trades through MEV-optimized paths

• Dynamically manage priority fees and validator incentives

• Improve success rates for time-sensitive swaps

• Reduce failed or delayed transactions during congestion

All of this happens automatically, with no additional setup required by the user.

What This Means for Velvet Users

For traders using Velvet on Solana, this integration delivers:

• Faster transaction inclusion

• Higher success rates during peak activity

• More consistent execution for larger orders

• Better performance for bots and advanced strategies

Whether you’re trading manually or running automated systems, execution reliability just improved.

Benefits for Developers and Integrators

Velvet’s Trading API already powers trading inside wallets, apps, and bots.

With MEV-aware execution via 0slot on Solana:

• Integrators get optimized execution by default

• No need to manage priority fee logic or validator relationships

• One unified API for routing, pricing, and execution

Developers focus on product and UX. Velvet handles execution complexity.

Part of a Bigger Execution Vision

This integration is part of Velvet’s broader roadmap:

• Chain-specific execution optimizations

• Deep liquidity and routing intelligence

• MEV-aware infrastructure where it matters

• A unified intent-based trading layer across ecosystems

Solana is just one piece of that puzzle.

Want to Integrate Velvet Trading?

If you’re building on Solana and want to:

• Offer fast, reliable on-chain trading

• Abstract away MEV, routing, and execution complexity

• Deliver best-in-class swap performance to your users

Reach out to the Velvet team.

Velvet’s APIs can be deployed quickly to bring professional-grade execution directly into your product.

We’re thrilled to announce a new partnership with BlinkBot, the revolutionary tool that turns your X feed into a powerful trading terminal! Now, with the convenience of X, users can buy, send, and swap $VELVET and other tokens directly on the platform, making the crypto experience faster, simpler, and more accessible than ever before. And now Blinkbot has integrated our aggregation techstack to give their users the best possible execution on trades.

What You Can Do with BlinkBot:

Thanks to this exciting collaboration, anyone on X can now:

• Buy $VELVET directly on X

• Send $VELVET to other users instantly

• Use the Velvet Trading API to make swaps for any token on Ethereum, Base, Solana, BNB, and more, all within X!

What is BlinkBot?

BlinkBot takes crypto trading to the next level by turning your X feed into a trading terminal. It’s a tool that allows you to buy and sell tokens, place prediction bets, and tip your favorite creators… all without leaving the platform. No need to connect wallets, deal with pop-ups, or open new tabs. Simply use natural language commands, and BlinkBot executes trades on-chain within seconds.

How Does BlinkBot Work?

1. Active Networks Supported: BlinkBot is live across multiple blockchains, including:

   • Ethereum

   • Base

   • BNB Chain

   • Solana

   • Dogecoin

With more networks coming soon, BlinkBot makes it easy to trade publicly in X replies or privately through DMs.

2. Public Trades on X
   Publicly tag @blinkbotai in a reply to a tweet or original post that includes a token contract address (CA). For example:

   • Original Post: “New token just launched! Contract: 0x1234abcd...”

   • Your Reply: “@blinkbotai buy $50 of the above”

3. Alternatively, you can directly specify the contract address for a quick purchase. BlinkBot will verify the contract, check live prices, and complete the trade in seconds!

4. Private Trades: Prefer to keep it private? Just send BlinkBot a DM with your trade instructions, and it’ll handle everything securely in the background.

5. Polymarket Predictions: BlinkBot integrates with @Polymarket, allowing you to place bets on real-world events directly through X. For example, place a bet on BTC crossing $100k by December by typing:

   • “@blinkbotai place $20 on BTC above $100k by December”
     All bets are handled with real-time odds and liquidity information, and you can track your open bets with ease.

6. Tipping Creators: Want to reward your favorite creators? Simply tag @blinkbotai and the amount you want to tip in ETH or other tokens:

   • “@blinkbotai tip this creator $5 in ETH”

7. If the person you are sending funds to doesn’t have a wallet, BlinkBot will automatically generate one for them, giving them full control of their funds.

8. Private Bets and Trades: BlinkBot allows private transactions directly through DMs, ensuring full privacy without any public records on your timeline.

Why BlinkBot is different?

BlinkBot is not just another bot or exchange UI. It brings crypto directly into the social layer, where conversations are happening in real-time. By combining trading, tipping, and prediction markets seamlessly into X, BlinkBot makes it as easy to trade as it is to send a message.

The Velvet Trading API: Empowering Seamless Onchain Trades

But that’s not all! With Velvet, projects can easily integrate onchain trading into their products through our API, making swapping tokens effortless for their users.

Velvet’s API provides intent-based trading, which means all users need to do is specify what token they want to sell and what token they want to buy. From there, Velvet takes care of the rest, working behind the scenes to find the best trade execution.

Using a combination of Liquidity Pools, Aggregators, AMMs, and Market Makers, Velvet ensures that every order is fulfilled with the most optimal price and slippage, delivering the best value possible on each trade. This system brings simplicity to users, while also delivering the best in class trading experience.

Are You a Project Looking to Add Trading?

Epoch 6 Recap (December 10 to January 10)

Epoch 6 closed out the year with 977,256 $VELVET distributed to users who stayed active across Velvet through trading, staking, referrals, portfolio creation, and daily Gem claims.

Before Epoch 6 came to an end, we announced a change to how Gems rewards would be distributed. The goal was clear. As Velvet grows, rewards must increasingly reflect who is driving the most value to the ecosystem.

Announcing Epoch 7 (January 10 to February 10)

Epoch 7 is now live, running from January 10 through February 10, with 968,305 $VELVET in rewards to be distributed at the end of the epoch.

As previously communicated before the end of Epoch 6, Epoch 7 rewards are distributed using a ranked based Gems system. This is not a one off experiment. This is the new standard moving forward.

How Ranked Gems Rewards Work

Instead of rewards being spread evenly across all participants, $VELVET is now distributed based on your Gems rank relative to other users.

Top Rank Allocations

• Rank 1: 5%

• Rank 2: 4.5%

• Rank 3: 4%

• Rank 4: 3.5%

• Rank 5: 3%

• Rank 6: 2.5%

• Rank 7: 2%

• Rank 8: 1.75%

• Rank 9: 1.5%

• Rank 10: 1.25%

Mid Tier Ranks

• Ranks 11 to 50: Sliding scale from 1.24% to 0.355%

• Ranks 51 to 425: Sliding scale from 0.35% to 0.002%

Long Tail

• Rank 426 and above still receive a small share of the remaining rewards, ensuring all active users continue to benefit.

Why We Moved to Ranked Rewards

• The top 425 Gems miners receive 82% of the total reward pool

• This is a significantly larger share than prior epochs

• Rewards now directly reflect real value creation across Velvet

This structure ensures that users who actively trade, stake, bring volume, and consistently engage with Velvet are rewarded in proportion to their contribution.

Key Mechanics Updates in Epoch 7

Consistency Streaks Are Now Persistent

• Streaks do not reset at epoch boundaries

• You can stack your streak up to a 150% bonus and keep it indefinitely

• The only way to lose your streak is to miss a daily claim

Consistency is now a long term advantage, not something you rebuild every month.

Trading Volume Multiplier Is Now 30 Day Rolling

• Trading bonuses are calculated using 30 day rolling trading volume, not epoch only volume

• This allows you to earn trading boosts regardless of when trades occur within the epoch

• This system is aligned with upcoming Cashback multipliers to create a unified rewards layer

Trade when it makes sense. Your volume still compounds.

What Happens to Unallocated Rewards

Any $VELVET not allocated to users under the ranked distribution model is distributed to Founders Club NFT holders.

This ensures excess emissions remain within the Velvet ecosystem and long term supporters remain aligned with protocol growth.

How to Compete in Epoch 7

Your Gems rank is shaped by everything you do on Velvet.

• Trade on Velvet to build rolling volume

• Stake $VELVET into veVELVET to amplify mining power

• Invite active users and earn from their activity

• Create or deposit into portfolios to grow TVL

• Claim daily to protect your streak and bonuses

Reminder: Gems must be claimed daily. Unclaimed Gems expire and do not count toward rankings.

Key Dates

• Activity window: January 10 to February 10, 2026

• Distribution: February 10, 2026. 968,305 $VELVET distributed by rank

Epoch 7 Is Built for Long Term Players

Ranked rewards, persistent streaks, and rolling volume multipliers are all designed to reward users who consistently bring value to Velvet.

• Faster loading speeds across the app

• Buy amount persistence between trades

• Trenches section loading speed optimization

Cashback System Foundations

We designed the Cashback system architecture, laying the groundwork for fee rebates and usage-based rewards which was announced this week!

Navigation & UX Simplification

• Combined Cashback, Gems, and Staking into a unified navigation experience

• Simplified Referral and Gems pages to reduce friction and improve clarity

• Search feature on Token pages

• Easily find projects X accounts on Token Page

Community & Ecosystem Updates

December closed out the year with strong community engagement, new campaigns, and global presence.

• $US on Solana

Velvet Wrapped on Base App

We launched Velvet Wrapped on Base App, giving users a personalized summary of their onchain activity, complete with a shareable card highlighting their 2025 journey.

Introducing Velvet’s Fee Cashback System

DeFi trading should reward usage, not penalize it.

Today, we’re introducing Velvet Cashback, a new system that returns a portion or even all of your trading fees based on how you use the platform.

Stake, trade, or invite friends. Your activity on Velvet now directly reduces the fees you pay, with up to 100% fee cashback available.

At a Glance

• Cashback is earned through two independent components

  • veVELVET staking

  • 30-day rolling trading volume

• Referral bonus of 15% cashback for new users in their first epoch

• Cashback is capped at 100%

• System is aligned with Velvet Gems Epochs

How Cashback Works on Velvet

Velvet Cashback is designed to reward consistent, real usage of the platform.

Each user earns cashback through two separate ladders. These are combined and capped at 100%, meaning highly active and aligned users can significantly reduce their trading costs over time.

Eligible volume includes all executed trades across Velvet Terminal and Velvet Portfolios.

Find your cashback by going to “Rewards” and then clicking on “Cashback.” There you will see the breakdown of your earnings, how much is needed to hit the next level, and the tokens you have received for Cashback!

Staking veVELVET

Staking veVELVET earns ongoing fee cashback. Balances are evaluated daily and cashback updates automatically.

This rewards users who align long term with the Velvet ecosystem.

Trading Volume Cashback

Based on 30-Day Rolling Volume

In addition to staking, users earn cashback based on their total trading volume over the last 30 days. This volume is continuously updated.

This approach avoids sharp resets and reflects sustained activity rather than one-off spikes.

Cashback scales smoothly with usage and adjusts automatically as activity changes.

Up to 100% Fee Cashback

Staking cashback and volume cashback are added together and capped at 100%.

For highly active users, this means trading fees can be reduced significantly and in some cases eliminated entirely.

Referral Bonus

Users who join Velvet for the first time receive 15% cashback for their first active month. This applies even if no trades are executed during that period.

After the first epoch, cashback is determined solely by staking and trading activity.

Where Cashback Applies

Cashback applies across all core Velvet actions, including:

• Turbo trades

• Classic trades

• Limit orders

• Portfolio rebalances

• AI-assisted execution

• And soon to come AI Portfolios

All qualifying activity counts.

Why We Built This

Most platforms reward short-term volume or activity that is easy to game.

Velvet rewards consistency, alignment, and real usage.

By tying cashback to staking and 30-day rolling volume, rewards flow to users who genuinely use the platform over time.
