While monitoring the market, I found an interesting design—some DEX platforms have made order incentives into a separate system. Their recently launched points program's core logic is actually quite straightforward: on this platform, liquidity contribution is not only measured by trading volume, but also includes unfilled limit orders, which continuously earn points. This approach is indeed uncommon among most DEXs.

Typically, we understand liquidity incentives mainly at the moment of trade execution. But this platform's idea goes a step further—order book depth itself is liquidity, even if no trades occur, it still reduces slippage and stabilizes prices. From another perspective, they are essentially redefining the boundaries of "contribution," allowing market makers' work to be more comprehensively recognized. This could potentially change the incentive structure for ecosystem participants and attract more liquidity providers willing to act as market makers.

Wow, this idea is really good. Placing orders itself has value, so why wait for a transaction to give incentives?

Amazing, finally a platform has thought of rewarding order placements. This is the true way to understand liquidity.

Hey, wait a minute, this logic feels a bit shady... Just by placing orders you can earn points? Isn't that encouraging fake trading? --- Finally, a platform has thought of this. The order book depth has been underestimated for too long. --- Hold on, this makes market makers even more attractive, but could they be attacked by hackers? --- This idea is interesting. It's much more reliable than the traditional DEX approach of volume manipulation. --- Market makers are in luck. Is the era of free liquidity coming to an end? --- By the way, how is the anti-fake order mechanism set up? Is it easy to exploit? --- I just want to know, how are fake orders identified? Seems risky. --- This is the real way to incentivize liquidity. Other DEXs should learn from it.

Can you earn points by placing orders? That logic is indeed brilliant. Finally, someone is taking order book depth seriously.

Can you earn points by placing orders? That logic is indeed brilliant; finally, someone thought of making the order book's depth valuable. --- This gameplay has some substance; it's truly innovative compared to DEXs that only look at trading volume. --- Market makers will be laughing to the bank, earning points while lying down. --- It seems like an attempt to solve liquidity fragmentation, but can it really be implemented? --- Counting order book depth as a contribution? Alright, at least the logic is self-consistent. --- Just offering points to attract market makers—whether it works depends on the price trend. --- Interesting, finally a DEX that has made placing orders more creative. --- This incentive mechanism feels like it could change the entire market-making ecosystem. --- The points program is back; it depends on how the rewards are redeemed, or it’s just empty talk. --- The order book itself is liquidity—this statement is brilliant. --- Want to attract more LPs, but you need to properly allocate incentive weights.

Amazing, finally a platform has thought of this—placing orders themselves is a form of value. --- This idea is truly brilliant; you can earn without even moving, market makers must be going crazy with joy. --- Wait, in that case, the wash traders will pile up the depth madly. Is the risk control enough? --- In simple terms, it’s about making idle orders useful. This design is indeed innovative. --- It feels like this is the real way to understand liquidity. Looking forward to it. --- The real question is how many are actual liquidity providers; most probably come from incentives. --- Finally, someone is taking order book depth seriously. It has been ignored far too ridiculously before. --- If this system is paired with anti-wash trading mechanisms, it would be perfect. Right now, it’s still a bit uncertain. --- Depth incentives can definitely be exploited, but the idea is good. --- Waiting to see if anyone exploits loopholes; surely someone will try some crooked tricks.

Hey, that's an interesting idea... You can earn points just by placing orders? Do those who frequently get filled end up losing out? Haha
