    AFX

    What is AFX?

    AFX is a sovereign Layer 1 blockchain built specifically for decentralized perpetuals trading. Instead of deploying a perp DEX on an existing chain, the team built its own execution layer with sub-100ms finality, zero gas fees, and a fully on-chain central limit order book. The result feels closer to a centralized exchange than a typical DeFi protocol, while matching and settlement stay verifiable on-chain.

    AFX raised no VC or private funding. The team skipped investor rounds entirely in favor of a community-first launch, which has direct consequences for how the future token gets distributed.

    AFX Airdrop Details

    The team has confirmed is a Mainnet Points Program (live since May 25, 2026) where accumulated points convert to AFX tokens at TGE, with roughly 65% of the total token supply reserved for the community.

    Key Parameters:

    • Airdrop Allocation: ~65% of total AFX supply reserved for the community via points
    • Distribution Method: Multi-season points program; points settle weekly and convert to tokens at TGE
    • TGE Date: Not announced
    • Vesting Schedule: 100% unlocked at TGE for the Genesis airdrop (27% of supply)

    The program runs across three consecutive seasons, each with its own points pool, and points never reset or expire between seasons. Season 1 started May 25, 2026 and runs eight weeks through July 20, 2026. Points come from three sources: trading (scored on volume, open interest, and market diversity rather than raw volume alone), time-weighted LP Vault deposits, and Guild activity. Distributions happen every Monday at 00:00 UTC.

    How to Farm the AFX Airdrop

    Step 1: Create Your AFX Account

    Visit AFX and connect your wallet or sign up. Complete the basic onboarding so you can deposit and trade.

    Step 2: Fund Your Trading Account

    Deposit USDC via Arbitrum through the deposit option in the app. If you need to buy USDC first, you can get them on Binance and withdraw to your wallet.

    Step 3: Trade Perpetuals on AFX

    Open positions on the AFX trade page using market or limit orders with up to 100x leverage. Trading is the main points source, and the scoring model rewards execution quality, held open interest, and activity across multiple markets. Spreading trades across a few markets, such as BTC, gold, and an equity perp, counts for more than grinding volume on a single pair.

    Step 4: Deposit to the LP Vault

    Go to the vaults section and deposit into the ALP vault. Deposits earn real yield (currently around 13.67% APY) plus points that are time-weighted, so capital left in longer earns more. Trading and LP points accrue separately, and you can do both at once.

    Step 5: Join a Guild

    Find a Captain invite link in the AFX Discord and join a Guild. Your trading volume counts toward your Guild’s total, which adds shared team rewards on top of your individual points.

    Step 6: Track and Claim Points Weekly

    Check the AFX points page every week. Estimates are shown ahead of time and points are auto-credited each Monday, so this is mostly about verifying your activity is being counted.

    Tips for Maximizing AFX Points

    Trade every week of the season: Points settle weekly, so consistent activity across all eight weeks of Season 1 beats one large burst of volume.

    Hold positions instead of scalping only: Open interest is weighted in the scoring model. Keeping positions open contributes points that pure in-and-out volume misses.

    Stack all three point sources: Trading, LP Vault deposits, and Guild membership accrue independently. Running all three at once compounds your share of each weekly pool.

    Use the Affiliate Program if you have an audience: Referring traders pays up to 35% of their fees as commission, and referral activity feeds the same ecosystem your points depend on.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    When will the AFX airdrop happen?

    No TGE date has been announced. Points from all three seasons convert to AFX tokens at the token generation event, and Season 1 runs through July 20, 2026, so a launch would come after the seasons conclude.

    Is the AFX airdrop free to farm?

    Not entirely. Trading and LP Vault deposits require real capital, and leveraged positions carry liquidation risk. The Galxe onboarding quest and Guild membership cost nothing beyond the trading you were already doing.

    How do AFX points convert to tokens?

    All points accumulated across the three seasons become redeemable for AFX tokens at TGE. The exact conversion rate has not been published, but around 65% of the total supply is set aside for the community.

    What happens if I miss part of Season 1?

    Points never reset or expire between seasons, so late starters keep everything they earn. You cannot recover missed weekly distributions, though, since each week’s pool settles every Monday.

    Do testnet participants get anything?

    Yes, the earlier testnet (April 2026) offered points that are also convertible to tokens. Testnet activity and mainnet points are tracked separately, so mainnet farming still matters.

    Conclusion

    AFX pairs a live, high-volume perp DEX with one of the larger community allocations in the category: roughly 65% of supply distributed through points, with no VC unlock schedule competing against farmers. The playbook is straightforward. Trade consistently across markets, park capital in the ALP vault, join a Guild, and collect weekly distributions until TGE. Season 1 closes July 20, 2026, and points carry into later seasons, so starting now costs nothing in lost progress.
