We’re excited to share that Zeta Markets, a leading DeFi derivatives platform on Solana, will be rewarding deBridge users as part of their community airdrop campaign. deBridge is one of seven partners exclusively selected by Zeta to join a trading competition where 10 million $Z tokens are up for grabs.

To celebrate the launch, Zeta will reward deBridge users who have made (or will make) at least 5 bridge transfers to Solana and have earned Z-score trading on the Zeta platform by the end of the campaign.

Zeta has reserved 0.08% (800K $Z) of the total supply for the deBridge community and an additional 0.2% of the supply as a bonus reward for the Top 3 communities participating in the competition. The 0.08% allocation of $Z tokens will be distributed proportionally amongst all eligible users based on their Z-Score at the end of the campaign, May 21st at 23:59 UTC.

If the deBridge community finishes in the top 3 by total Z-Score, it will earn an additional $Z bonus in Q2 2024 when scores are converted to tokens. However, it is important to note that users can only represent a single community (such as deBridge) per wallet to earn the Z-Score and participate in the Zeta airdrop campaign.

Pledge your allegiance to deBridge here: https://dex.zeta.markets/competition

What is the eligibility?

Any user that has bridged at least 5 times to Solana will be eligible to compete for a Z-Score — at the end of the campaign. The $Z allocation will be distributed proportionally amongst the deBridge users based on their Z scores (no Z-score = no allocation). The competition starts May 8th at 12:00 UTC and ends May 21st at 23:59 UTC

Naturally, users can also bridge assets right within the Zeta dApp and deposit funds into their margin account. Head over to https://dex.zeta.markets to start bridging!

We’re excited to share that deBridge is teaming up with Drip Haus, the leading NFT drop platform on Solana, to kick things off with the launch of deBridge Points. Drip Haus has a huge subscriber base in the Solana ecosystem and has rewarded millions of users with high-quality art, music, comics, games, and more—every week.

We present GLOBS, a distinctive collection of mystical abstract artworks, visually celebrating the deBridge identity through the creations of Solana’s epic multidisciplinary artist, Artifex.

Claim a free GLOB collectible to receive a bonus multiplier on deBridge Points🏆 for two weeks (see notes below). For a chance to win a $1,000 prize from a $5,000 USDC prize pool, make at least 5 bridge transfers to/from Solana with the wallet holding your GLOB collectible.

deBridge Five for Five Sweepstakes

All users are invited to claim a free GLOB collectible, which includes a bonus multiplier for two weeks, lasting until May 13th. There are four rarities of GLOB: Common, Rare, Legendary, and Ultimate, arranged in increasing order of rarity. Each GLOB provides a certain multiplier, with the Ultimate GLOB providing a 1.4x multiplier to all the eligible users.

Campaign Dates: April 29, 7:00 PM (CET) — May 13, 7:00 PM (CET)

GLOBs are interpreted as pure abstract renditions of deBridge and can be utilized in various ways depending on their rarity. The common GLOB serves as a phone wallpaper, while the Ultimate GLOB embodies an abstract fusion of the brand and art.

Rare and legendary GLOBs are parallels: one reflecting a day theme and the other a night theme, both of them inspired by our logo and crafted in an abstract style of "GLOBs"

Minting your GLOB is simple and easy. All you have to do is head over to Drip Haus, connect your wallet, and mint the free Glob directly in your Solana wallet.

Please note, that your additional DRiP multiplier won’t be activated in the deBridge app immediately, and there will be a short delay. You will know your DRiP multiplier has been activated once you see the following banner and Drip logo in the deBridge app.

deBridge Globs now live on Drip Haus

Only one GLOB can be claimed per Solana wallet on DRiP.

$5000 USDC Raffle

To participate in a raffle and win a share of a $5,000 USDC prize pool, you must follow the below steps:

Step 1: Make at least five bridge transfers to or from Solana using a wallet that holds a GLOB collectible.

Step 2: Fill out this form, connect your Twitter, and follow the @deBridgeFinance account.

We’re excited to announce that we have integrated 0x API, a fully integrated suite of APIs for scaling DeFi products, to bring better pricing and fault tolerance on all bridge trades across the deBridge ecosystem.

To deliver the best rates to users, deBridge needs a high-performance solution for calculating fees and expenses in real time — a bridge quote doesn’t only reflect the current market exchange rate; it also bundles together all included fees. Quotes are complex, and must cover all implicit operating expenses incurred by private market makers during and after order fulfilment (that includes the gas costs for fulfillment and the unlocking of liquidity in the source chain).

With our new integration of 0x API, we’re improving more transparent swap routes and more reasonable quotes. Swap API aggregates liquidity from 100+ AMMs and professional market markers and utilizes smart order routing to deliver the best prices.

0x API is under the hood in a number of leading Web3 applications spanning across fintech, self-custody wallets, and Web3-native organizations. To date, they have processed over $148 billion in trading volume for all their clients.

Integrating 0x Swap API for Transparent and Bulletproof Bridge Quotes

Our integration with the 0x API gives more objective quotes for all bridge trades, along with:

  1. Onchain Liquidity: 0x will help enable better onchain liquidity for all our users, aggregating liquidity from 100+ AMMs and professional market makers.
  2. Improved Fault Tolerance: We aim to provide more objective quotes for all the bridge orders.
  3. Increased Resilience: Orders have a higher chance of fulfillment, significantly reducing stuck orders.

Now, our users will experience better pricing on all bridging trades happening across deBridge. We welcome all teams to integrate deBridge and participate in our points program (earning 25% on all generated points) for a say in future governance.

About 0x

0x brings the best of crypto trading to your users with a suite of fully integrated APIs, including Swap API and Gasless API. One integration with 0x unlocks thousands of tokens on the most popular blockchains. Swap API makes it easy for Web3 teams to tap into deep DEX liquidity, reducing infrastructure overhead so that you can focus on what matters: your product.

About deBridge

What is the points program?

The points program is a big growth initiative we have launched for all our stakeholders, partners, integrators, users, and others to gain points based on the value and fees they have provided to the deBridge ecosystem.

How can I get points?

You can earn points by performing cross-chain value transfers, referring new users, or integrating deBridge into your app.

Why are you having a points program?

We believe everyone who has used deBridge and our applications and paid fees toward the deBridge treasury deserves a share in our collective and future success. The launch of our points program is a medium to incorporate decentralized governance and hand over power to the community in the future.

What does the point distribution overview look like?

You earn 100 points for every $1 in fees paid to the protocol. Similarly, paying $10 in fees will earn 1000 points for the particular transaction.

What are multipliers, and how can I receive them?

Multipliers help you earn extra points for bridge transfers made across the deBridge ecosystem. We have both retroactive multipliers to reward past loyalty and current multipliers, to reward current/future loyalty. Head over to our blog to learn more or connect your wallet address in our explorer to learn if you have a multiplier assigned for Season 1.

How do I get started?

Anyone can start earning points by making a cross-chain trade on the deBridge app or any of our integrators. Get started bridging here:
deBridge app: https://app.debridge.finance/

Can I stack/combine multipliers?

This depends on the type of specific multiplier, whether it’s stackable or not. E.g., the multiplier for using the Solflare wallet in the deBridge app is stackable, while there may be instances with specific project integrations where this is not enabled. None of the multipliers apply to IaaS subscriptions.

I provided liquidity in deSwap when you had liquidity pools in the past, do I get points?

Yes, prior liquidity providers for deSwap have received points. You can find the list of eligible addresses here.

All LPs have been assigned a 1.5x multiplier for Season 1.

What will deBridge points be used for?

We aim to walk towards the path of decentralization and reward our loyal and long-term community members and users across the deBridge ecosystem. Season 1 of the Points campaign will conclude at TGE, where a certain part of the token supply will be distributed among point owners. This will be based on criteria that will be revealed closer to TGE after a snapshot is taken. Stay tuned for more details on this soon!

How can a project implement deBridge Widget or API?

Our Widget/API helps you create blazingly fast cross-chain experiences right within your dApp or website. Here’s our quick start guide:

API: https://docs.dln.trade/dln-api/quick-start-guide

Widget: https://docs.debridge.finance/cross-chain-trading/deswap-widget

You can also reach out to us on Discord and get all the support you need.

Who are some of your integration partners that give deBridge points when using them?

Any integrator and project that has integrated our cross-chain infrastructure, e.g. via our deBridge API or Widget will provide points when using them. Some examples are the likes of Jupiter, Solflare Wallet, Zeta Markets, Birdeye, Perpetual Protocol, Banana Gun, and others.

How frequently are points updated?

Your points overview will be updated shortly after a transfer is completed (it may take up to a few hours for us to update the points).

Where can I see the points that I have obtained?

You can check your points and other stats on the points program site: https://app.debridge.finance/statistic

How does our referral component work?

The deBridge referral and tracking process is straightforward and intuitive for anyone who wants to grow our community. This includes integrators, users, and other stakeholders, who can start tracking the activity (volume, fees, and transactions) they drive with their specific referral code.

It’s fully on-chain and all the activity that a unique referral code is generating can be fully tracked via our statistics page after connecting the wallet that has initiated the code.

Check out more information and details in our docs: https://docs.debridge.finance/debridge-points/referrers-overview

How can I get started with referring friends?

Anyone can generate their referral link and earn 25% on top of the points generated by their referrers. Here’s how you do it:

  1. Open deBridge explorer: https://app.debridge.finance/statistic
  2. Connect your EVM wallet and click “Refer”
  3. Pick the blockchain to interact with Polygon’s smart contract and generate a unique referral link
  4. Start referring users and accrue points

What happens if I self-refer with multiple wallets to gain more points?

We understand that participants wish to earn more points across multiple wallets. However, we can’t allow gamification of our setup, and we will nullify the accumulated points of self-referred wallets or addresses with sybil behavior if they cross a specific threshold and/or meet specific criteria.

At deBridge, we’re building the bridge that DeFi deserves.

That bridge should be so fast it can keep up with the hectic pace of DeFi, so efficient it can help it scale without bottlenecks, and so secure people can move millions of dollars worth of value with complete confidence.

Nearly three years after the mission started, we’re proud to say that deBridge is growing exponentially on every count — volumes, number of transactions, new users, new partners, new chains — and that it’s now time to take the next major step in our path to decentralization.

It’s time for the launch of deBridge Points.

Why deBridge Points and what are they for?

As deBridge moves further down the path to decentralization, the launch of our points program will be the main way we hand power over to our community. If designed well, a points mechanism is a very powerful distribution channel that allows anyone to actively contribute and join the future governance.

Everyone who has used a deBridge product has contributed to our mission and deserves recognition for our collective success. It’s that simple.

This goes for everyone across the entire deBridge ecosystem, including our valued partners and integrators, our power users, and our day-one users, all of whom have guided and shaped our tech, helped bring our products to DeFi, and ultimately given us the drive to keep going.

How are deBridge Points acquired?

While early supporters are being rewarded for their loyalty (retroactively), so too will anyone who actively contributes to the deBridge mission moving forward.

We want to create a system that rewards those who have actively supported us at our most pivotal moments, and anyone who joins us moving forward, without creating something that incentivizes farming and sybilling behavior — which does not align with our goals of long-term sustainability.

That’s why if you pay fees to use the deBridge protocol, you are granted points. This includes our own deBridge app, as well as applications of our current (and future) integration partners.

Since 100% of the fees go to the treasury, that gives the future deBridge DAO a revenue-generating protocol to govern over as well as a decent treasury accumulated ($2.3M+ at the time of writing) while receiving voting power proportionally to your contributions to the treasury and/or ecosystem.

At the same time, this approach incentivizes organic use of the infrastructure creating natural monetary filters for bot/hunter networks that have to bear protocol fees, making it harder to dilute organic users who leverage deBridge for instant cross-chain value transfers.

Without further ado, here are the ways to earn points across the deBridge ecosystem.

Making Bridge Transfers

You can earn points for making bridge transfers across the deBridge ecosystem, including the deBridge app, and any partner application.

For every $1 paid in fees, you will earn 100 points. For example, if a user pays $5 in fees to the protocol in a transaction, they’ll earn 500 points.

Points are accrued for cross-chain trades only as same-chain trades are routed directly through our integration partners.

Loyalty Multipliers

To reward loyalty, we’ve also added multipliers for the early adopters and users, the details of which are shared below. Points have already been retroactively credited to all addresses based on these tiers.

Tier 1
From the deBridge mainnet launch to the day before the official launch of DLN, our cross-chain intents network that enabled a new paradigm for instant cross-chain value transfers based on 0-TVL design.

Date range: Feb 17, 2022 (The date we launched deBridge mainnet) – June 15, 2023 (DLN goes live).

Tier 2
From the DLN launch to the first teaser about deBridge Points.

Date range: June 16, 2023 (the day after DLN launched) – December 31, 2023 (the day before we teased about points on our website).

Tier 3
Date range: From Points teaser to the launch of Points.

Date range: From January 1, 2024 (The day we put the points teaser on our website) – April 9, 12:00 UTC, 2024 (the time we announced the Points program).

Tier 4
Launch of deBridge Points and beyond.

Date range: From today April 9th, 2024 and beyond

Solflare Wallet Tier
Launch of deBridge Points and beyond as per our promise to support the Solflare team and its users:
https://twitter.com/deBridgeFinance/status/1765764348482617674

This multiplier is stackable with the user’s multipliers and applicable only for cross-chain value transfers performed in the deBridge app and initiated from Solana through Solflare or Soflare Metamask Snap wallet options.  

Date range: From today until the end of the Season 1 Points program.

Curve LP Tier
Anyone that supplied liquidity to the deSwap v1 pools on Curve, before deBridge moved to a zero TVL model.

Where can I see my points balance?

Your points balance is reflected in the top menu of the Explorer, after connecting your wallet address.

Introducing deBridge Points

Your points overview will be updated shortly after a transfer is completed (it may take up to a few hours for us to update the points). View your rank and all performed protocol activity in our leaderboard: https://explorer.debridge.finance/statistic/

If you think your points balance is not correct, feel free to open a ticket in our Discord, and we’ll be glad to validate the math.

Can multipliers be stacked/combined?

Note that multipliers can be stacked, where eligible. For example, the Solflare Wallet multiplier in our app is stackable, and users that fall into Tier 2 will earn 1.4x on future activity (1.1x + 1.3x).

Why do Solflare Wallet bridge users get a multiplier?

DeFi is all about inclusion, and Solflare Wallet has been a key partner for us in the Solana ecosystem and supported us from Day 1 on Solana. We may add a similar multiplier to other key partners during the time of the points program.

Why do Curve LPs get a multiplier?

The old version of our cross-chain liquidity transfer engine was powered by TVL in Curve pools. Anyone who supplied liquidity to these pools was a vital help in powering the first iteration of deBridge. Curve LPs have received 30 points for every dollar of interest earned. The overview of eligible addresses and points accumulated can be found here.

Making Referrals

We also have a system where anyone who refers a friend to deBridge will be granted points.

Referrers earn 25% on top of all the points generated through their referral link. This is valid for both individual referrers and integrator (partner) referrers.

For example, if your referral earns 10 points, you get 2.5 points. Read more about how to get started and how our unique referral structure and its different components work, or generate your referral link here.

Integrating deBridge

Just like individual referrers, integration partners who leverage deBridge API, Widget, or interact with deBridge smart contracts will also accrue 25% of points from the total amount of points generated by their users. Thanks to their integration, Jupiter DAO is the second-largest entity on the Points leaderboard as Jupiter users have generated $316M of volumes on deBridge.

Integration partners can generate a referral/integration code here to set it in the Widget builder or have it passed in all queries to deBridge API.

Early partners get automatically rewarded for their loyalty as their users generate more points for early activity and get assigned multipliers through one of the Tiers described above.

Generate your integration code here to join a great group of partners such as Jupiter, Solflare, Banana Gun, and Zeta, who have already integrated deBridge into their apps.

deBridge IaaS (Integrators)

deBridge IaaS is the first-ever service for EVM & SVM blockchain ecosystems, enabling high-performance cross-chain interoperability with a single subscription. IaaS allows teams to focus on building innovative products while allowing us to navigate the interoperability maze.

Our deBridge IaaS-initialized chains accrue 30 points for every $1 in fees paid to the protocol while users can easily trade between any integrated chains (including IaaS) and earn points for their activity. Multipliers are not applied to IaaS fees.

We’re pleased to share that 8 chains have now subscribed to deBridge IaaS for onboarding users from the entire chainscape. Head over to our blog to learn more about deBridge IaaS.

Getting Started

If you are new to the DeFi landscape, deBridge is the fastest way to have the whole chainverse at your fingertips.

Anyone can start earning points by making a cross-chain transfer on deBridge app, or any of our integration partners. You can view the accrued points via the points dashboard, which also features a leaderboard with certain specifics, including your points, ranking, multiplier, and much more.

Points will be credited to your overview within a few minutes of the transaction being performed.

deBridge app: https://app.debridge.finance/

Points dashboard: https://explorer.debridge.finance/statistic/

Some of our integrators are Jupiter, Solflare Wallet, Birdeye, Zeta Markets, among others. See the full list of announced integration partners on our blog.

Disclaimer: We reserve the right to remove from participation addresses that abuse the Points system through self-referring, sybil activity, or in any other way.

Why do deBridge Points Matter?

We believe points will help reward our loyal community members across the entire deBridge ecosystem and act as the main way for us to distribute governance power. This also includes our partners and integrators, such as Jupiter, Solflare, and more, who have brought major revenues to us.

Once again, we reserve the right to nullify points of wallets trying to game the system in any way. Our vision is to reward and incentivize, as much as possible, genuine, loyal users. We’re very excited for deBridge Points and all the upcoming launches and updates coming later this year. A big thank you to our community, users, partners, integrators, and others who have been a part of this journey so far.

We’re excited to announce that we have integrated bundles by Jito Labs, a high-performance Solana MEV infrastructure provider, to bring the best pricing possible on bridge trades to long-tail assets on Solana.

Jito Bundles will help our market makers fulfill the intent for cross-chain trades opening up into any long-tail assets and meme coins on Solana. Bundles ensure the transactions happen in an atomic way, making the intent profitable and leading to immediate fulfillment of trade on the destination chain.

The Problem

deBridge uses an intent-based model with a 0-TVL design to fulfill all the trades created on its bridge. The user creates an intent specifying all the parameters for the trade, such as destination chain, asset contract address, and desired price. A market maker then looks at this intent, and if they think it's profitable, they go ahead and fulfill the trade right away.

This method works well for trading liquid assets because market makers usually keep them on the balance sheet. But if a market maker doesn't have the required asset, they need to:

  1. Swap into that asset from USDC, and
  2. Fulfill the intent in the same transaction

Market makers need to quickly swap assets, fulfill the trade, and fit all the data into a single transaction in one go. When dealing with volatile assets like memecoins, they have to navigate through a complex process to send assets to users on the destination chain. However, the atomic nature of a transaction limits the number of hops they can take for a particular swap.

Because of this, market makers had to limit themselves to using no more than 20 accounts for a swap on Jupiter's platform to make sure all data fits in one transaction. This becomes tricky with memecoins and long-tail assets that require more complicated routes with a larger number of accounts, making it hard to meet the needs of users wanting to trade these assets.

Jito Bundles solves this

Jito’s innovative Bundles feature allows the execution of multiple transactions in an atomic way where it’s all-or-nothing: either every transaction goes through successfully or none of them do. This means there's no longer a need to restrict how many swap actions can happen.

Market makers can now pick the best path for a swap without bearing the risk that swap transactions will succeed but the fulfillment of intent will fail. Thanks to Jito, market makers can now ensure they stay delta-neutral while fulfilling trades for any type of liquid asset on Solana, including meme coins.

This ensures that users can trade into any type of memecoins on Solana, such as WIF, WEN, BRETT, etc. from any chain in a few clicks. Now, anyone can trade into Solana memecoins with ease from Ethereum or any L2 chain in seconds, with the best pricing possible.

What are Jito Bundles?

Bundles are a list of transactions that execute sequentially and atomically, i.e., either all the transactions execute or none of them. This ensures that a user can send a bundle that contains multiple transactions and guarantees that they are all executed one after the other.

Bundles are a better ordering mechanism that helps minimize bot spam on Solana. They are generally used to perform atomic arbitrage, liquidations, or batch DeFi operations and improve the on-chain experience for everyone.

About Jito Labs
