Recently, I discovered an interesting phenomenon—placing orders on the order book to provide liquidity can actually earn points rewards. Standx's Maker points system works this way: providing market liquidity directly exchanges for points, which is equivalent to creating value through trading itself.

I tried it myself, and my account assets have steadily grown to $150. Currently, I have accumulated 680 Trader Points and 3,727.1 Holder Points, and these numbers are still slowly but steadily increasing. In recent days, market volatility has increased, and I have started to gradually increase my trading frequency—after all, the greater the volatility, the more opportunities there are for market making.

Honestly, I still want to accumulate points at low cost while also growing my account assets. The current pace feels pretty good, and I plan to keep going this way.

Market making to earn points? This logic is pretty clever— the more volatile, the more you can milk the sheep.

Getting a low-cost profit while riding the upward trend—that's the rhythm I want.

Can market making still earn points? Isn't this the new way of "legally cutting oneself" that I've been looking for? I've finally waited for it.

The $150 is still in the exploration stage. Once the fluctuations are bigger, we'll see the actual returns from market making. I'm a bit looking forward to it.

$150 is still just the beginning. With your current pace, how long will it take to get in?

The logic of market making for points exchange is indeed smooth, just worried that too much volatility might trap me.

Market making can still be exploited for profit; this tactic is indeed interesting, I need to pay attention to it as well.

hmm so you're basically getting paid to provide liquidity... but ngl the real question is what's the opportunity cost vs just sitting in stables rn. those point multipliers looking nice on paper till they actually dump on listing day lol

The market-making points exchange logic is indeed quite clever; liquidity providers are finally not just working for others.
