Abstract generation in progress

【Block Rhythm】Genius, the Perp DEX trading terminal, has recently made big moves. Supported by YZi Labs, the project received an investment of several tens of millions of dollars on January 13, and the project advisory team has also been expanded — former crypto influencer CZ officially joined. However, he clarified one point: Genius is not a competitor of Aster, but a terminal tool focused on Perp trading.

There is an important change regarding the points system. The previous dynamic points distribution will cease at 7:30 PM Eastern Time on January 17, and will be switched to a retroactive points mode. Don’t worry, all the points you accumulated from previous trades will be retained in your account. The specific rules of the new retroactive system have already been published in the white paper today, and those interested can check it out.

The first round of the retroactive activity officially begins at 4:00 PM on January 19, offering a new opportunity for users who participated in early trading.

The implementation of the credit system is serious this time; it feels like we need to recalculate the benefits.

Damn, CZ is here? Now Genius really has something. I don't quite understand this traceability system operation... Can the previous points still be recovered? Hurry up and check out the white paper, it starts on the 19th. Oh my god, am I going to miss another airdrop? Millions of dollars, this fundraising scale is quite impressive. It feels like the crypto world is about to stir up again. I just want to ask, how much can this traceability points system be worth? Early users are really about to take off this time. Too bad I came late. The points system has changed again. Are they playing with heartbeat? CZ joining as an advisor? That lineup is indeed extraordinary. Huh, why stop dynamic points? Was the original not good?

They're changing the points rules again, shifting from dynamic to retrospective... It sounds just like those failed retrospective airdrops before, which ultimately became a cover for "we reserve the right to adjust." Hundreds of millions poured in, yet now they have to be more cautious about mechanism loopholes being exploited—this is a classic case of incentive distortion.

Wait, does the traceability system mean that those who slack off before can also turn things around?
