Hit rewards users who provide useful liquidity on eligible markets. Each eligible market has a USDC reward committed for a specific reward period. Post qualifying resting orders and keep them live to earn a share of that market’s reward. The order book is sampled at random times throughout the reward period. You earn from each sample where your order is live and qualifies. Your final share reflects your qualifying liquidity across those samples relative to other participants.

​
The Reward Amount

Each eligible market has its own reward amount and accrual window, shown in-product. Reward periods are based on UTC. A market only accrues rewards while it is marked as currently earning, even if the market itself remains open for trading. The displayed amount is the total committed reward available for that market’s current reward period, not a per-user entitlement. It is shared among qualifying participants. A committed reward may not be fully distributed when there is no qualifying activity, and individual payouts are rounded to USDC precision.
Headline figures like “up to $5,000” refer to campaign ceilings — not a per-market or per-user amount. Individual market rewards may be much smaller.

​
How It Works

Post resting orders that make the market easier to trade. Each random sample is a separate opportunity to earn. To count in a sample, an order must be live at that moment and pass the market’s current qualification checks:
  • Quote near the midpoint — the order must be within the market’s qualifying price distance. Markets near 0% or 100% probability use a tighter range.
  • Meet the minimum remaining size — the unfilled part of the order must meet the market’s minimum USDC notional. A partial fill can move an order below the minimum.
  • Be live when sampled — you can update your orders frequently, but the sampling schedule is random. Keeping qualifying orders live consistently gives them the best chance of being present for every sample. Posting only for brief windows makes it likely that you will miss random samples.

​
How Qualifying Liquidity Is Weighted

For markets with a midpoint above 4¢ and below 96¢, both one-sided and two-sided liquidity can earn. Qualifying liquidity receives more weight when:
  • It is two-sided — quoting both sides earns a bonus.
  • It is at the top of the book — the best qualifying quotes earn a bonus.
  • It is closer to the midpoint — quotes accrue rewards faster as they move closer to the midpoint within the qualifying range.
When the midpoint is 4¢ or below, or 96¢ or above, the market is in tail mode. Only two-sided liquidity is rewarded in tail mode; unmatched one-sided liquidity earns nothing. At each random sample, the available weight is divided among qualifying users according to these factors. Those sampled shares accumulate over the reward period, and the committed USDC reward is divided using the final cumulative shares. Exact curves, multipliers, and the sampling schedule are not published and may change.

​
Eligibility

To earn Liquidity (Maker) Rewards:
  • The market must have a reward committed for the current reward period and be accruing rewards at that time.
  • Your resting orders must be live and satisfy the market’s price-distance and remaining-size requirements when randomly sampled.
  • Your account must not be excluded from the rewards program.
You must hold an eligible Hit account in good standing. Availability may be subject to regional and jurisdictional restrictions, and Hit may require identity or wallet verification before paying rewards.

​
Settlement and Claims

The daily reward period rolls at 00:00 UTC. Settlement is scheduled for 00:10 UTC, after which settled rewards are added to your claimable USDC balance. Until settlement, any earned amount shown in-product is an estimate: other participants can add, remove, or improve their liquidity and change the final shares. You can claim once your combined claimable balance reaches the minimum shown in-product. Claims are processed asynchronously on Base, so a submitted claim may remain in progress until its on-chain transaction is confirmed. Balances below the minimum remain available to accumulate with later rewards.

​
Terms and Conditions

Liquidity (Maker) Rewards are discretionary and variable. They depend on market conditions, qualifying criteria, total participation, and the amount and usefulness of eligible liquidity you provide relative to others. No specific per-user reward amount is promised, and participation does not guarantee any payout.
Exact qualifying criteria, scoring metrics, weightings, multipliers, and timing are set per market, are not fully published, and may change at any time without notice. In-product values shown for a market (reward amount, qualifying price distance, minimum size, and accrual status) describe the current reward period. The committed reward amount is fixed for that period; other qualifying parameters and accrual settings may be updated.
Each eligible market has its own reward amount, settled in USDC on Base. Any “up to $5,000” or similar figure is a campaign/headline ceiling, not a per-market or per-user amount. Reward amount, settlement time, claim minimum, currency, and network may change at Hit’s discretion. Claims are sent to your associated wallet/account; you are responsible for keeping payout details accurate.
Hit may add or remove eligible markets, change qualifying price distances, minimums, scoring, multipliers, reward amounts, cadence, or settlement, and may modify, suspend, or terminate the program, in whole or in part, at any time and without prior notice.
Activity intended to game the program — including wash trading, self-trading, collusion, spoofing, layering, sybil/multi-account farming, latency or timing manipulation, or other manipulative or bad-faith conduct — is prohibited. Hit may withhold, reverse, or claw back rewards, disqualify participants, and suspend accounts for suspected abuse; its determination is final.
Nothing in this program constitutes investment, financial, legal, or tax advice. Providing liquidity involves market risk, including the risk of loss. You participate at your own risk.
You are solely responsible for any taxes arising from rewards received. Hit may report and/or withhold where required by applicable law.
The program is void where prohibited and is not available to users in restricted jurisdictions or who do not meet Hit’s eligibility and verification requirements. Hit may exclude any user at its discretion.
These terms supplement and are subject to Hit’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. In the event of a conflict, the platform Terms of Service govern except where these terms expressly state otherwise.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Hit is not liable for lost or delayed rewards arising from market conditions, technical issues, errors in scoring or settlement, wallet/network failures, or program changes. Rewards are provided “as is.”
Hit reserves the right to interpret and apply these terms and to resolve disputes regarding eligibility, scoring, and payouts at its sole discretion.
