Ondo Perps is an RWA perpetuals platform run through the Ondo Foundation. Its documented program combines 5 million points per week with a separate $175,000 USDC rewards pool.
The USDC pool is a cash reward mechanism. The points have no confirmed conversion value. The platform is not available to US users or other restricted jurisdictions.
Use Ondo Perps if you want RWA perpetuals and are eligible for its rewards program. The product includes tokenized-equity-style collateral options and a points-plus-cash structure.
Eligibility comes first. US users and other restricted jurisdictions cannot use it under the documented terms.
The points program is weighted by trading volume and open interest. Consistent activity may matter more than one large volume spike.
The $175,000 USDC pool has separate rules and does not depend on a future points conversion. The points are not confirmed to convert to ONDO.
RWA collateral adds tracking and oracle risk. The tokenized asset may not follow its reference asset perfectly, especially during stress.
Confirm eligibility before allocating time or capital. The points program has no guaranteed conversion. See our pre-TGE farming roundup and airdrop farming guide for the wider risk picture.

Current information comes from Ondo Perps’ public program announcements and independent coverage of its points structure and USDC rewards pool. Independent audit coverage for its contracts or independently verified its collateral/settlement chain was not verified here.

Frequently asked
Related but distinct. Ondo Perps is run through the Ondo Foundation and its points program is explicitly Ondo Foundation points, but in the latest documented status there is no confirmed conversion mechanism from Ondo Points to the ONDO token — treat them as separate things until a conversion is officially announced.
No — it's explicitly not available to US users or users in other restricted jurisdictions. Confirm your own eligibility directly before attempting to sign up.
It stacks two separate reward tracks: a weekly points program (no confirmed conversion value) and a documented $175K USDC rewards pool paid out regardless of whether points ever convert to anything. That means even a fully failed points program still has a real, cash-denominated payout mechanism running alongside it.
