Reward System
The Terminal rewards you for every trade you make, every credit you use, and every friend you refer. All rewards are paid in SOL and claimable directly to your wallet.
Platform Fee
Every trade on The Terminal is charged a flat 0.85% fee on trade volume. This applies to all Solana swaps (Buy and Sell).
A 10 SOL trade → fee = 0.085 SOL
Cashback Tiers
A portion of your trading fee is returned to you as SOL cashback based on your cumulative lifetime trading volume. The more you trade, the higher your tier, the more you get back.
| Tier | Lifetime Volume | Cashback |
|---|---|---|
| Scout | 0 SOL | 5% of fee |
| Striker | 10 SOL | 10% of fee |
| Contender | 30 SOL | 12.5% of fee |
| Challenger | 130 SOL | 15% of fee |
| Rival | 630 SOL | 17.5% of fee |
| Titan | 2,130 SOL | 20% of fee |
| Apex | 5,130 SOL | 25% of fee |
Example — Scout tier, 100 SOL trade:
- Fee: 100 × 0.85% = 0.85 SOL
- Cashback: 0.85 × 5% = 0.0425 SOL back to you
- Net cost: 0.8075 SOL
Example — Apex tier, 100 SOL trade:
- Fee: 100 × 0.85% = 0.85 SOL
- Cashback: 0.85 × 25% = 0.2125 SOL back to you
- Net cost: 0.6375 SOL
Your tier upgrades automatically as your cumulative volume crosses each threshold.
Trading Credits
Trading Credits are a USDC-denominated balance that automatically covers 25% of your trading fee on every trade — no action needed from you.
When you have credits:
- 25% of the fee is deducted from your credit balance
- You pay the remaining 75% from your wallet in SOL
- You also earn an additional 25% SOL cashback on the credit-covered portion
Example — 10 SOL trade with credits (Scout tier):
- Gross fee: 10 × 0.85% = 0.085 SOL
- Credits cover 25%: 0.02125 SOL deducted from credits
- You pay 75%: 0.06375 SOL from wallet
- Cashback on full fee: 0.085 × 5% = ~0.00425 SOL back
Credits are applied automatically until your balance runs out. If your remaining credits are less than the 25% portion, only the leftover balance is used.
Credits are non-withdrawable and non-transferable. They expire in 60 days.

Referral Rewards
Share your referral link from the Rewards page. When someone signs up through your link and trades, you earn a share of their platform fee — forever.
| Level | Who | Reward |
|---|---|---|

| Tier 2 (Indirect) | Their referral | 3% of their net fee |
| Tier 3 (Extended) | Their referral's referral | 2% of their net fee |
Referral commissions are calculated on the net fee (gross fee after the trader's tier cashback is subtracted).
Example — You referred Person B (Scout tier), they trade 10 SOL:
- Gross fee: 10 × 0.85% = 0.085 SOL
- Their cashback (5%): 0.00425 SOL
- Net fee: ~0.08075 SOL
- Your commission (30%): ~0.0242 SOL
Users who sign up via a referral link also receive a 10% discount on their trading fees.
Referral rewards activate as soon as your referral completes their first trade. There is no cap on earnings.
