About Ostium Labs
Ostium is a decentralized perpetuals exchange built on Arbitrum that lets you trade stocks, commodities, forex, and indices on-chain with self-custody. Gold, oil, EUR/USD, S&P 500, Nikkei, individual equities all tradeble directly from your wallet with up to 200x leverage, no broker involved.
The founders built it after getting burned repeatedly by opaque centralized brokers while running arbitrage strategies out of a Harvard hacker house. Their thesis: the $10T monthly global CFD market is structurally broken pricing is broker-controlled, liquidations are discretionary, withdrawals can be frozen. Ostium replaces all of that with fully auditable, on-chain execution where every spread, fee, and liquidation parameter is public.
Unlike most perp DEXs that compete with Binance or Hyperliquid for crypto volume, Ostium's stated target is eToro, Robinhood, and IG the retail brokerage world. More than 95% of open interest on Ostium is in traditional markets. The platform has processed over $25 billion in cumulative volume, including a $26M+ single gold trade executed on-chain the largest gold order ever settled on-chain.

Why This Airdrop Matters
- The CFD broker market does $10T in monthly volume. Ostium is the first credible on-chain version of that not another crypto-only perp DEX chasing Hyperliquid's market.
- Jump Crypto and Wintermute both invested. These are market makers who trade the exact asset classes Ostium offers they don't put money into infra they don't plan to use.
- Season 1 gave out 10M points retroactively to early users. Season 2 has a hard cap of 25M. Once the cap is hit, that's it the window closes.
- The $26M gold trade executed with minimal slippage proves the liquidity is real, not just paper metrics.
Important Note
- No token has been officially announced the points program strongly signals one, but Ostium has made no formal confirmation.
- Season 2 has a hard cap of 25M points. Points distribution is not open-ended once the cap is reached, earning stops.
- Points convert weekly every Sunday at midnight UTC. Consistent week-over-week activity earns more than one large burst of volume in a single week.
- The OLP vault earns points but carries real financial risk LPs are the counterparty to all trades and can lose capital during high-volatility periods.
- Wash trading or artificial volume inflation is monitored. The team has emphasized quality activity over raw volume metrics.
