Aevo has made every trader’s projected reward visible in real time, while expanding the qualification window and increasing the reward pool by 20 percent.
Aevo, the decentralized derivatives exchange, has launched a permanent leaderboard and announced its 2026 year-end USDC distribution, projected at approximately 808,800 USDC, a 20 percent increase over the originally scheduled amount. For the first time, every trader can open the platform and see their exact projected reward on their own account, live, without waiting for a distribution event to find out what they’ll be getting.
The new leaderboard is not a campaign, it stays on the platform and updates in real time as traders trade and stake.
Three reward streams, all running
Aevo runs three independent reward structures simultaneously:
- The weekly trading epoch distributes 1 million AEVO to active traders every week from the DAO treasury.
- Weekly USDC cashback is paid directly from exchange trading fees every epoch.
- The year-end USDC distribution, drawn from the protocol treasury’s Uniswap V3 LP fee income, pays once a year to qualifying stakers and traders.
Each stream is funded separately, and none of the three is token emissions dressed as yield.
Now the leaderboard tracks the year-end distribution, while the other two pay the whole way there.
What the leaderboard shows
There are now three tabs that deliver what the community has long requested, the volume tab shows cumulative trading volume broken out separately for perpetuals and options, per account, and the staking tab shows each trader’s staked AEVO balance and current tier, while the reward tab shows projected eligibility and reward amount from the year-end distribution, live and updating.
Aevo spokesperson, “We wanted every trader to know exactly where they stand before the distribution arrives. The leaderboard shows your projected reward, on your account, live.”
The year-end USDC distribution qualification
Aevo runs two staking tiers, COMMANDER requires an eight-month lock and LEGEND requires twelve months. The tier is granted on the day of the lock, not after waiting.
Qualification for the year-end distribution requires two things simultaneously: an active COMMANDER or LEGEND stake at the distribution date, and 10 million in cumulative trading volume built since January 1, 2026.
Volume pauses if a stake expires and resumes on re-staking. Everything built since January counts in full, and the qualification window runs to year-end, giving traders more time to build volume and reach their tier.
A token built the same way
The AEVO token has been fully distributed since mid-2025, with no remaining vesting or investor unlocks. Buybacks and burn takes place monthly, funded by real exchange revenue, with 75 million AEVO now permanently removed from circulation to date.
The three reward streams mentioned earlier and the supply mechanic run on the same logic: real protocol revenue, returned to the traders and stakers who generated it.
