# FAQ

> Common questions about Amps, campaigns, claiming rewards, referrals, and eligibility.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What's the difference between Amps and campaign rewards?">
    Amps are points you receive through trading activity and are a primary input Decibel uses when evaluating token distribution at TGE. Campaign rewards are separate; they pay out USD-denominated stablecoins for specific activities like providing maker liquidity or recovering from a liquidation. You can receive both simultaneously, they don't compete with each other.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What asset are campaign rewards paid in?">
    All campaign rewards are paid in USD-denominated stablecoins and credited directly to your trading account balance. The Card Vault is the exception; those rewards are physical PSA-graded cards shipped via Courtyard.io.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need to sign up for campaigns, or am I automatically eligible?">
    Most campaigns are automatic. If you meet the eligibility criteria, your reward is calculated and made available for you to claim. The Card Vault and Trading Competitions require you to register or opt in before the campaign period starts.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I participate in multiple campaigns at once?">
    Yes. There is no limit to how many campaigns you can be eligible for simultaneously. Each campaign is independent. Your trading activity may qualify you for several at the same time.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do unclaimed campaign rewards expire?">
    Yes. Recurring campaigns like Maker Rebate and Liquidation Rebate have expiry windows, typically at month-end for weekly rebates, and end of the following month for monthly rebates. You'll see the expiry date on each tile in **/rewards**.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I withdraw campaign rewards immediately after claiming?">
    Yes. Claimed rewards credit to your trading account balance and behave like any other funds. You can trade with them or withdraw. There's no lock-up or vesting period.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I get a referral code?">
    Connect your wallet on the [Season 1 dashboard](https://app.decibel.trade/points) and complete a trade. Your referral code will appear automatically. Share it with anyone you want to invite.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What do I receive from referrals?">
    You accrue a share of your invitees' Amps, drawn from a dedicated daily emission pool of Amps. Referral Amps scale with the actual trading activity of the people you bring in, not just the number of sign-ups.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why can't I see the exact Amps formula?">
    Scoring formulas are deliberately undisclosed to prevent gaming and abuse of the points program. The system is designed to reward genuine trading activity, liquidity provision, and community contribution.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What counts as &#x22;maker volume&#x22; for the Maker Rebate?">
    Only fill volume from bulk (batch) orders where you're on the maker side. Standard single-order fills are not included. Your maker ratio for the week must be 80% or higher to qualify.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do sub-accounts work?">
    For trading competitions, all sub-accounts under the same owner are consolidated into a single entry. For other campaigns, eligibility is generally evaluated at the account level.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How will I know when a new campaign launches?">
    New campaigns are announced on Decibel's social channels and appear on the **/rewards** page. This documentation page is also updated when campaigns change status. Follow **@DecibelTrade** on X for the latest.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens if a campaign reward pool runs out before the end of the campaign?">
    Each campaign has a fixed reward pool. If it's exhausted before all eligible users claim, the claim button will be unavailable until the pool is refilled. Campaigns are funded on a recurring basis.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Are there geographic restrictions?">
    Campaign and Amps eligibility follows the same eligibility criteria as the Decibel exchange. If you are eligible to trade on Decibel, you're eligible to participate.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can program parameters change?">
    Yes. Reward rates, eligibility thresholds, Amps emissions, and claim windows may be adjusted at any time, without notice, at our sole discretion. Changes always apply going forward; they never retroactively affect rewards that have already been settled.
