The Solana Foundation has introduced Frontier Traders, a rewards program designed for institutional and professional market participants. The initiative aggregates trading activity across 16 founding venues, which collectively represent over 90% of the network's spot and perpetual trading volume.
The program utilizes a volume-based VIP structure. Entry-level participants must reach a 30-day trading volume of at least $10 million, while top-tier participants exceed $5 billion. Rebates for these tiers range from 0.001% to 0.005%.
Participants receive benefits including priority access to RPC infrastructure, dedicated account management, and cross-venue rebates. By allowing traders to distribute activity across multiple platforms, the program aims to incentivize order routing to smaller decentralized exchanges.
Shortly after the launch, more than 2,000 traders joined the program. Flint Trade became an official venue on September 1, 2026. Previously, the foundation organized a promotional contest with a $25,000 prize pool tied to a SpaceX trading event in June.
