Omni-chain Referral Program

Users are now able to track their progress with the referral tiers, and easily see how much in fees their traders are generating, along with how much LVL they are passively earning.

To support the organic growth of LEVEL, Users are now also able to apply for the WHITELIST. This Whitelist allows referrers to access higher rebate and discount rates than basic referrers. This feature has been introduced to help to reduce the amount of self-referring that typically takes place on Decentralised Exchanges.

To get started with the referral program and start passively earning LVL, follow these instructions:

  1. Connect to Level.finance

  2. Click “Get Your Referral Link” to generate your own.

  3. Share the link to your friends!

  4. Earn up to 12% regular passive LVL from your active traders!

Governance Updates

No proposals have been released in the last week.

Partnership Spotlight

Perpy is a Copy Trading protocol built on top of Level Finance allowing traders to monetize their trading skills and investors to get a trading revenue without trading.

Many users who are interested in trading and investing in crypto are not professional traders. On the other hand, many professional traders with good trading skills don’t have access to a simple venue to launch a fund.

Perpy allows traders to create their decentralized investment fund in a few clicks, manage their trades in a simple and secure way and set their performance fees. They can promote their vault on social networks, quickly gain exposure and attract more TVL.

In the meantime, investors get a crypto trading revenue stream without trading at all.

Perpy is an opportunity to make profits in a win-win manner for traders and their investors.

Our goal is to revolutionize Copy Trading on Perpetuals and tackle their current flaws:

Current Copy Trading solutions are mostly custodial and opaque, hosted on CEXs. You never know if the performances shown are true and if the platform is front-running your trades. Decentralized platforms exist but have a lot of user friction, like fundraising period, single asset, single trade, funds lockup and a need to re-enter a vault after a trade is closed.

What Perpy brings:

  • Decentralized, permissionless and non-custodial. Anyone can trade and invest with Perpy without KYC and keep full custody over their funds.

  • Fully on-chain: From creating your first vault to investing in someone else’s vault, you can track everything happening on-chain. No hidden fees, no fake performance, all traders' metrics and performance are fully transparent.

  • Trade multiple assets, take different positions in one single vault, set multiple take profit and stop loss to accommodate your trading strategy.

  • Traders have only access to the investors' funds to trade with them. They can’t withdraw them from the vault.

  • Traders can choose their performance fee between 10% and 50%.

Perpy’s latest protocol upgrade, Spectra, is now live. To access the closed beta see the below tweet:

BNB Chain & Arbitrum

Market Watch

This week, the crypto market witnessed a mild slump with BTC, ETH, and BNB registering slight dips in their prices. Analytical service IntoTheBlock revealed significant BTC accumulations by whales, possibly in anticipation of the potential SEC approval of a Bitcoin spot ETF and the upcoming Bitcoin halving event in April 2024. In legislative moves, California's latest iteration of the “Digital Financial Asset Law,” coded AB39, stirs debate, mirroring criticisms its predecessor faced in 2022. Notably, Grayscale achieved a significant win against the SEC as a court directed a reconsideration of GBTC's ETF conversion bid, suggesting a potential shift in the cryptocurrency ETF landscape. Meanwhile, in Japan, the EOS token secured whitelist approval, signaling the nation's growing inclination towards Web3 and digital advancements.
