The 1Edge Account Tier Matrix
Every 1Edge account sits on a five-rung tier ladder. Climbing it earns you two things: a higher rebate on the trading fees you pay yourself, and a higher ecosystem point multiplier. Your tier updates automatically on-chain as your volume and referral count grow.
The matrix
| Tier | Volume threshold | Referral requirement | Fee rebate | Point multiplier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core | Baseline | Verified human setup | 10% | 1.0× |
| Alpha | 100 SOL | or 25 active referrals | 15% | 1.5× |
| Elite | 500 SOL | or 250 active referrals | 20% | 2.0× |
| Apex | 2,000 SOL | or 1,000 active referrals | 25% | 3.0× |
| Seed (Founding) | — | First 50 wallets to hit 25 referrals | 30% for life | 3.5× |
ℹ️ Two paths up. You reach each tier by hitting either the volume threshold or the referral requirement — whichever you get to first. Volume-only traders and referral-only community builders both progress.
What the rebate applies to
The tier rebate is a percentage of the trading fees you pay yourself — the higher your tier, the more of every trade you keep. This is distinct from the referral fee-share, which pays you on fees generated by wallets you refer. The two stack.
✅ At Apex, you keep 25% of your own trading fees and earn 25% of every referred wallet's fees — on top of a 3× point multiplier.
The tiers
Core — the entry tier
Every verified human starts at Core. It is not a "free trial" tier — it already carries a 10% fee rebate and full platform access from day one. Verifying your humanity is all it takes.
Alpha · Elite · Apex — the climb
These three tiers are earned through activity. Each can be reached by trading volume or by building a referral network:
- Alpha — 100 SOL volume or 25 referrals → 15% rebate, 1.5× points
- Elite — 500 SOL volume or 250 referrals → 20% rebate, 2.0× points
- Apex — 2,000 SOL volume or 1,000 referrals → 25% rebate, 3.0× points
Seed — the founding tier
Seed is the rarest tier on 1Edge — only 50 will ever exist. It is awarded to the first 50 wallets to reach 25 referrals, and it carries a 30% fee rebate for life, a 3.5× point multiplier, and — for founding members — a future revenue share (details to be confirmed).
⚠️ Limited to 50, forever. Once all 50 Seed positions are claimed, the tier is closed permanently. There is no other way in.
How tiers update
Tiers are tracked on-chain and update automatically as your verified volume and referral count grow. Rebates accrue continuously and can be claimed at any time — there is no manual tier-upgrade step.
Point multipliers
Alongside fee rebates, each tier carries an ecosystem point multiplier (1.0× → 3.5×) applied to the points you earn from platform activity. Points feed into the broader 1Edge ecosystem and leaderboards. Higher tiers therefore compound in two directions at once: cheaper trading and faster point accumulation.
