Today, we are excited to launch the farm boost, in collaboration with the Pandora team. Farm boosts incorporate Pandora’s ERC-404 gacha mechanism into traditional DeFi yield farming. With rare farm boosts, users can boost their $AEVO airdrop by 1x-100x over the next two weeks.

How it Works

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 airdrop, rather than actual volume generated on the platform:

Boosted Volume = Trade Order Value * (Base Farm Boost + Lucky Farm Boost)

Base Farm Boost: On every trade, no matter what, a user will earn a 1x — 4x farm 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 farm boost will decay if you stop trading as it's based on a trailing 7 day window.

Lucky Farm Boost: Just for the next two weeks at any given point one of your trades may hit a lucky farm boost from 10x-100x with the following rarities:

10x Farm Boost: ~10% chance

50x Farm Boost: ~2.5% chance

100x Farm Boost: ~1% chance

You can pull a higher farming boost the more you trade. More trades → higher chance of getting a 100x farm boost stacked on top of your base boost. On any given trade, there is a ~13.5% chance of hitting a rare farm boost from 10x — 100x.

Examples

ctrlfreak has $1.5M in notional volume traded in the past 7 days, which translates roughly to a ~2x base boost. ctrlfreak longs 10 ETH perpetuals contracts (order value = 10 * $2500 = $25,000) and gets lucky and hits a 10x farm boost.

ctrlfreak’s boosted volume on the trade is $300,000 ($25,000 * (2x base boost + 10x rare boost)) even though his actual order value is $25,000. This will increase his $AEVO distribution 12x on that particular trade.

Alice has $3M in notional volume traded in the past 7 days, which translates roughly to a ~3.5x base boost. Alice shorts 2 BTC options contracts (order value = 2 * $50,000 = $100,000) and gets lucky and hits a 50x farm boost.

Alice’s boosted volume on the trade is $5,350,000 ($100,000 * (3.5x base boost + 50x rarity boost)) even though her actual order value is $100,000. This will increase her $AEVO distribution 53x on that particular trade.

The lucky farm boost will turn off after two weeks. Lock in your advantage by hitting rare boosts.

FAQ

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

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

Do existing users who made trades before this still get $AEVO?

Yes, all users of Aevo who have done volume on AEVO since the very beginning will get a retroactive drop. This is just an opportunity to significantly increase your allocation on top of that.

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

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