Trade on Aevo

Every perpetual future or options trade on Aevo has an adjusted boosted volume. Your total boosted volume across trades will be used to calculate your pro-rata share of the $AEVO emissions, rather than actual volume generated on the platform:

Boosted Volume = Trade Order Value * (Base Farm Boost + Lucky Farm Boost) AEVO Earned = Boosted Volume * Epoch AEVO Emissions / Total Epoch Boosted Volume

Base Volume Boost

On every trade, no matter what, a user will earn a 1x — 4x volume boost which is calculated based on your previous 7-day trading volume (the base boost is capped at 4x past $5M volume.). The more you trade, the quicker your base boost accelerates for future trades. Conversely, your base volume boost will decay if you stop trading as it's based on a trailing 7 day window.

Base Farm Boost (as a function of 7d notional volume)

Lucky Volume Boost

At any given point one of your trades may hit a lucky volume boost from 10x-100x with the following rarities:

Non-sAEVO holders

10x Volume Boost: ~10% chance

50x Volume Boost: ~2.5% chance

100x Volume Boost: ~1% chance

sAEVO holders

sAEVO holders have a 2x chance of hitting a rare volume boost: 10x Volume Boost: ~20% chance

50x Volume Boost: ~5% chance

100x Volume Boost: ~2% chance

You can pull a higher volume boost the more you trade. More trades → higher chance of getting a 100x volume boost stacked on top of your base boost. On any given trade, there is a ~13.5% (and ~27% for sAEVO holders) chance of hitting a rare volume boost from 10x — 100x.

NOTE: there is a 1 hour cooldown period, meaning that you have to wait at least 1 hour after hitting a rare volume boost before you can pull another one.

FAQ

Does the volume boost increase my actual position size of the trade as well?

No, it does not increase your position size. The volume boost is ONLY used to calculate your boosted volume for $AEVO rewards.

How do I know whether I got the lucky volume boost on a trade?

Immediately after your trade, if you got a lucky volume boost (10x, 50x, or 100x) you will receive a toast/notification. You can also see the volume boost (base + luck) applied to every trade by clicking on details in every trade row https://app.aevo.xyz/portfolio/trade-history

Methodology Breakdown

The boost of a trade is the sum of function $b_{volume}$ applied on a user’s 7 -day trailing volume and a function $b_{rare}$ applied on a random value generated at time of trade.

$$b = b_{volume}\left({\sum_{n} v_n}\right) + b_{rare}(X=x), \quad n = 1, 2...d, \quad x \in (0,1)$$

$$w = \sum_{n} v_n \times b_n, \quad n = 1, 2...t$$

$$r = R \times \frac{w}{\sum_{n} w_n}, \quad n = 1, 2...k$$
