How to Join the Sushi Points Program

Step 1: Get ETH & USDC on Arbitrum

To pay for gas and margin, you’ll need an EVM-compatible wallet (such as Rabby) with a small amount of ETH on Arbitrum and some USDC for your trading capital. If you need to, buy ETH from Binance and withdraw it to your wallet via the Arbitrum network.

Step 2: Go to the Sushi Perps Platform

Visit Sushi’s Perps page.

Step 3: Link Your Wallet

To connect your wallet, click on “Connect Wallet” and choose your wallet provider. Accept the request to connect and make sure you’re on the Arbitrum network.

Step 4: Deposit USDC and Start Trading

Choose a trading pair, set your leverage and position size, and then put down a deposit. Check your wallet to see if the transaction went through. Each trade you make earns points toward Sushi’s rewards program, with the early-trader multiplier added.

Step 5: Monitor Points Program Updates

Leaderboards, a points dashboard, and links to refer friends are all confirmed to be coming soon. To keep track of your points balance and get new tools as they become available, follow Sushi on X and check sushi.com often.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Sushi Points

Trade Early to Get the Multiplier: The early-trader bonus lasts for the whole season. If you get active now, you’ll get a higher points rate on every trade after that. If you wait, you’ll lose that edge for the whole season.

Make trades all the time, not just once: Each trade adds points. Regular activity throughout the season will be better than one big trade, especially when the leaderboard goes live and rankings matter.

Keep an eye out for the Referral Program: The system for referrals is said to be coming soon. Once it’s live, referring active traders could really help you get more points. Make sure to check official channels before it starts so you’re ready.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Sushi Points Program a Real Airdrop?

Sushi has not confirmed that there will be an airdrop related to this points program. The program gives points for perps trading activity that go toward “upcoming rewards and incentives,” but the exact details of those rewards have not been made public.

What are the Fees for Trading Sushi Perps?

You need to put down margin collateral and pay trading fees in order to trade perps. This is not a campaign where you can participate for free; if you take on leveraged positions, you could lose money. Manage the sizes of your positions accordingly. Taker fees start at 0.0989% while maker fees are 0.0730%

When will the Dashboard and Leaderboard be Available?

In early April 2026, Sushi said that leaderboards, a points dashboard, and referral links were “coming soon.” There hasn’t been a specific date set for the launch yet. Check the official Sushi X account for news.

Can I Get Points on Any Chain?

The points program is now live on Arbitrum. Sushi works on a number of chains, but the points you earn for this campaign are only available on the Arbitrum perps platform as of April 2026.

Will There be More Seasons?

The program talks about a season structure, which suggests that there will be more than one round. There has been no word on how long the seasons will last, what the next seasons will be like, or how points can be turned into rewards.

Conclusion

Sushi’s perps points program lets active traders build up rewards before any official announcement about a distribution. The early-trader multiplier is the best thing about this right now. It stays in place for the whole season, so the earlier you start, the more points you get over time.

Because perps trading is leveraged, make sure your positions are the right size. While you wait for Sushi’s upcoming leaderboard and referral program launches, check out our list of possible retroactive airdrops and our guide to airdrop farming for more chances.
