How It Works
Complete guide to earning XRP rewards as a market maker on the XRP Ledger
Earn Points
Trade on AMM
Use the built-in AMM interface on each market page to swap tokens, add liquidity, or remove liquidity.
Run Hummingbot
Deploy automated market making strategies with Hummingbot. When your maker orders get filled, you earn points.
Points = Volume × Boost
Your points are calculated as: USD Volume × 100 × Market Boost. Higher boosts mean more rewards!
Weekly Epochs
Our rewards program operates in weekly cycles called "epochs". Each epoch runs from Monday 00:00 UTC to Sunday 23:59 UTC.
Reward Pool
Each epoch has a reward pool distributed among participants based on their share of total points.
Points System
Points are earned through filled maker orders. Your share of total points determines your reward percentage.
XRPLiquid launched with a $100,000 USD reward pool allocated to the community. This treasury funds weekly XRP distributions to market makers who provide liquidity on eligible XRPL markets.
How the Treasury Works
- •Each week, a portion of the treasury is allocated as rewards for the epoch
- •Rewards are distributed proportionally based on points earned by each market maker
- •XRP is distributed at the end of each epoch via XRPL checks
- •The program continues until the treasury is depleted or additional funding is added
Registration is a simple one-time process that enables you to participate in the XRPLiquid rewards program. Here's everything you need to know:
Requirements
- •A Xaman wallet with at least 15 XRP
- •0.1 XRP registration fee (one-time)
- •Not located in sanctioned territories
- •Agreement to program terms and conditions
Registration Process
- 1.Connect your Xaman wallet using the QR code
- 2.Accept terms and confirm non-sanctioned status
- 3.Sign the AccountSet transaction (0.1 XRP fee)

Note: The registration fee creates an on-chain record of your participation in the program. This AccountSet transaction includes a memo field that links your wallet to XRPLiquid, enabling us to track your trading activity and distribute rewards.
XRPLiquid operates on a weekly cycle system called "epochs". Each epoch represents one week of trading activity, with its own reward pool and leaderboard.

Important: Only filled maker orders in these markets earn rewards. Orders in other markets do not count towards your points.
♾️Community-Powered & Sustainable
XRPLiquid runs forever through community boosts. Token issuers, projects, and community members can increase the reward pool to drive trading volume and attract liquidity providers to their markets. No seasons, no end date—just sustainable rewards.
Why boost a market? Higher boosts mean more rewards for market makers, which attracts more liquidity and drives trading volume. Perfect for token issuers wanting to build liquidity for their token.
How Boosts Work
- •Select base and quote tokens for your market
- •New markets start at 1x boost; existing markets can add more
- •Choose duration (1-52 weeks)
- •Most of your payment goes directly to the reward pool
Pricing
- 120 XRP/week (1x base boost)
- → 100 XRP to reward pool
- 12 XRP per 0.1x boost per week
- → 10 XRP to reward pool
Rewards are distributed as XRPL checks, which are like uncashed checks that you can claim at your convenience.

- 1Check Issuance: After each epoch ends, reward checks are automatically created and sent to your wallet address
- 2View Checks: Go to the "My Rewards" page to see all your reward checks

What is Wash Trading?
Wash trading occurs when a user trades with themselves or coordinates trades with others to artificially inflate their trading volume and capture a disproportionate share of rewards. This undermines the purpose of our liquidity mining program, which is designed to reward genuine market makers who provide real liquidity.
How We Detect It
Counterparty Concentration
We analyze if a wallet trades a significant percentage of its volume with a single counterparty. Legitimate market makers typically trade with many different counterparties.
Platform User Trading
We examine the ratio of volume traded between registered platform users versus external addresses. An unusually high proportion of trades between platform users can indicate coordinated activity.
Suspicious Patterns
We flag wallets showing circular trading patterns or other behaviors inconsistent with genuine market making.
Resolution Process
Account Freeze
Rewards continue to accrue but checks are held pending review.
User Notification
Users are notified and given the opportunity to provide evidence of legitimate trading.
Resolution
If cleared, all accrued rewards are released. If confirmed as wash trading, rewards are redistributed to legitimate market makers.
