Trading Credits

Trading Credits (TCs) are non-withdrawable funds allocated by VDEX that allow traders to open positions without committing personal collateral. Trading Credits cannot be withdrawn, but any realized profit generated from their use is credited to the account and may be withdrawn like regular funds.

How Trading Credits Work

• Non-Withdrawable by Design Trading Credits are provided exclusively for trading purposes. They cannot be withdrawn, transferred to another account, or converted into actual tokens. While not custodial funds, they function like available capital when executing trades.

• Integrated into Account Balance Trading Credits are seamlessly blended into the account balance rather than displayed as a separate line item. This approach simplifies the trading experience and allows the system to dynamically allocate funds without requiring manual adjustments from the trader.

For example, if you have $200 in real funds and $100 in Trading Credits, your available balance will show as $300. You can trade using the full $300, but only the $200 is withdrawable

• Profits Are Retained by the Trader Any realized profits generated from positions funded partially or entirely with Trading Credits are added to the account's withdrawable balance. These earnings are treated like profits from standard collateral and can be withdrawn in the usual manner.

• Losses Are Contained Losses incurred on trades funded by Trading Credits are deducted exclusively from the credit allocation. Deposited collateral remains unaffected. Once the Trading Credits are fully consumed, they simply expire, and no additional liability is incurred by the trader.

• 30-Day Inactivity Expiry Trading Credits are intended for active trading. Accounts showing no activity, including trading, deposits, or withdrawals for 30 consecutive days, will have any remaining credits automatically removed. This ensures that allocations are reserved for active participants.

How to Receive Trading Credits

There are a few pathways through which users might be granted TCs:

• Referral Campaigns Certain referral codes distributed by Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) or official VDEX channels may include Trading Credits as a sign-up incentive. These campaigns are typically time-limited and communicated through official announcements on X, Discord, or Email newsletters.

• Platform Rewards and Compensation VDEX may allocate Trading Credits as part of rewards programs, community initiatives, or feedback campaigns. In some cases, Trading Credits may also be issued as goodwill compensation in the event of technical disruptions impacting a trader's experience.

Common Questions

1. Can Trading Credits be requested? No. Trading Credits are allocated at the sole discretion of the platform and cannot be requested or applied for manually.

2. Can Trading Credits be selectively enabled or disabled? Not at this time. Since Trading Credits are blended with the overall account balance, they are automatically utilized when placing trades. There is currently no option to opt out of their use.
