Fees, liquidity, eligibility, rewards, and exit conditions
Use cost before reward. Calculate activity cost first; points can be delayed, diluted, slashed, or worth zero.

How the current season works
The live page says weekly trading and LP scores accumulate before conversion into points. It also lists referrals and LP staking as earning surfaces. Weekly scores reset after conversion, so a single all-time points balance is not enough to evaluate efficiency.
The useful research object is the weekly conversion record: score, resulting points, activity type, fees, liquidity exposure, and any jurisdiction or access restriction. Keep that record before committing capital.
Airdrop and TGE status
The current official page does not publish a token ticker, TGE date, token allocation, or points conversion to a token. Treat community claims about a future Ostium airdrop as unconfirmed until Ostium links them from an official announcement.
The page also warns that access is restricted in some jurisdictions. Do not bypass restrictions, and do not treat LP or leveraged trading as a points-only activity; both carry real market and contract risk.
Compare this fixed-cap program with Extended and RISEx in the reward tracker.
