1. Visit the Paradex app
2. Connect your eligible wallet
3. Navigate to the airdrop claim section and claim your $DIME allocation

Tokenomics Update

Since the initial tokenomics post in December 2024, two key changes have been made to the $DIME allocation:

1. Airdrop upsized to 25%: The Community Airdrop allocation for XP Season 2 was increased by 5 percentage points, from 20% to 25% of total supply, allocated as part of the Season 2 extension in July 2025.
2. Foundation XP acquisition: The Foundation acquired 4.4% of total token supply via XP purchases primarily from institutional holders.

How to Participate in the Paradex Airdrop

Step 1: Visit the Paradex App

Go to Paradex and click “Connect Wallet” in the top right corner.

Step 2: Connect Your Wallet

Connect the wallet you used during Pre-Season, Season 1, or Season 2. Your XP balance and $DIME allocation are tied to that specific address.

Step 3: Trade on Paradex to Earn Season 3 XP

Season 3 XP has been live since February 1, 2026. XP is distributed every Wednesday for the prior week’s activity. Eligible actions include:

• Trading perpetuals or spot markets (including $DIME/USD)
• Placing limit/maker orders to provide liquidity
• Depositing assets to the platform
• Referring new users via your referral code

Ensure to have USDC for trading. If you don’t have any, you can purchase assets on Binance. Use LayerSwap to bridge your USDC to Paradex Layer 2. Bridge fees are approximately $0.10.

Step 4: Generate Your Referral Code

Create a referral code in your account settings. Share it with other traders; your referees get a 5% taker fee discount, and you get 5% of their taker fees on up to $25 million in referred volume per referee. Your Season 3 XP is also increased by referral activity.

Step 5: Apply for the TAP Affiliate Program (Optional)

If you can consistently refer a lot of trades, you can apply for the TAP Affiliate Program through the app. Every two weeks, approved affiliates get a share of a 1.0% $DIME supply pool. The program will last until at least April 2026, and to stay eligible, you must refer at least $1 million worth of business every two weeks.

Tips for Maximizing $DIME Allocation

Claim before March 19: The Genesis Airdrop window is short. There is no grace period for eligible wallets that miss the deadline; they lose their allocation.

Trade consistently in Season 3: XP is given out every week based on what happened the week before. Regular trading gives you more XP than big trades that happen once in a while, and there is still a chance that a future incentive program will be linked to Season 3 XP.

Use limit orders: Liquidity XP is influenced by maker/limit orders. Placing limit orders in addition to market trades has no drawbacks because Paradex’s zero-fee model makes maker activity free.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Need to Invest Money to Participate?

If you already have eligible XP, you can get the Genesis Airdrop for free. To earn Season 3 XP, you need to be actively trading or providing liquidity, which means putting money into the market.

How Is $DIME Distributed — What Determines My Allocation?

Allocations are based on how much XP you earn each season. People with Pre-Season and Season 1 XP get 5% of the $DIME supply, while people with Season 2 XP get 20%. Your share is based on how much XP you have compared to all other eligible wallets in each cohort.

Will Season 3 XP Lead to Another Airdrop?

There hasn’t been any news yet about how much XP will be given out in Season 3. Paradex calls Season 3 an ongoing engagement and rewards program, but they haven’t said if there will be any future token distributions related to it.

Can I Transfer or Sell My $DIME After Claiming?

Yes, $DIME is completely unlocked at TGE and there is no vesting. Currently, Paradex is the only place to trade $DIME spot, and the $DIME/USD markets opened on March 5, 2026.
