Recently, a maker points model on a trading platform has attracted attention. The core logic is quite straightforward—by placing orders, you can accumulate points, participate at zero cost, and still earn rewards even if the orders are not filled.

How does the mechanism work? First, look at the order value, which equals your margin multiplied by the leverage factor. The larger the position and the more sufficient the margin, the higher the base for points. Second, each minute that an order stays on the order book is counted. The closer the order is to the market price, the more points you earn per unit time.

In simple terms, this mechanism offers traders a new option—no need to risk real money to speculate on the market; by engaging in refined liquidity participation, they can earn expectations of future airdrops. For those who want to reduce risk but still participate in the ecosystem, this kind of "static mining" indeed feels quite different.

Listen, I understand this logic, but it just feels like a new way to indirectly harvest retail investors' funds. Placing orders to earn points? Come on, as long as the margin is held, it's held. What use are more points? Is this thing really zero-cost? I feel like the cost is hidden somewhere. Ugh, here comes "static mining" again. How many times have we heard this term? At most, it's just a trick for diversion schemes. Don't hype it up too much.

Isn't this just a new way to scam people? It seems zero cost at first, but in the end, you still have to spend money to make a profit. Wait, can you really earn passively by closely following the market? Feels like you're easily getting front-run. If makers are playing like this, no wonder the crypto world moves so fast. "Static mining" sounds nice, but I think it's probably another airdrop trap. Wake up, everyone. This logic feels just like the referral commissions recommended by some platform before. And in the end? The appeal is definitely strong, but the question is, how long can these platforms last? Another "zero cost"? I don't believe it. What about the risks?

Hmm... Isn't this just a disguised way of earning rewards, earning points for a few days and then running away? This mechanism does have some merit, but it also feels like gambling on whether the platform will cut rewards. Getting extra points when close to market price? Isn't that still about watching the market... where's the zero-cost? Points sound appealing, but ultimately whether they can be realized is the key. I've seen this kind of trick before: crazy issuance in the beginning, then direct devaluation later, it's just playing with words.

Isn't this just a disguised way to attract liquidity? The threshold isn't low at all. --- Zero cost? You still have to put up margin. Do you really think we're all fools? --- Only close to the market price can you earn profits, which is basically market making. What about the risk? --- You can earn points without trading. Sounds good, but can it really be redeemed? Another airdrop dream. --- The larger the leverage, the more points you get? I've seen this trick before. In the end, retail investors are the ones taking the fall. --- Even the number of minutes for placing orders is counted. Wouldn't high-frequency traders just take off directly? --- I've heard a thousand times about liquidity mining, but in the end, it all turns into some kind of mess. --- It sounds nice, but in reality, it's just using points to exchange for your risk tolerance. --- Only earning more when close to the market price. Isn't this just forcing you to shake with the market maker? --- Static mining? You still have to keep an eye on the market all the time. Where's the static?

Zero-cost order placement to harvest profits, is this platform planning to fatten us up before slaughter? --- Something's off. Orders closer to the price give more points? Isn't that just playing a heartbeat game... --- Wait, isn't this just disguised liquidity mining again... --- Interesting, but the margin leverage base feels pretty questionable --- Finally, something that doesn't require real money and guns. I like this slow and steady approach --- Don't be blinded by points; you need to see how much they can actually cash out in the end --- Zero-cost order placement? Ha, the premise is that you have enough margin to hold it down

Placing orders to earn points? I need to figure out this trick. --- Zero-cost wool harvesting, I like this vibe. --- They say it's static mining, but it still feels like you need to stake liquidity. Isn't it risk-free? --- The closer to the order book, the more points you get. Isn't this just encouraging us to race against each other? Haha. --- Another airdrop anticipation chart. Will the next one be a new trick to cut leeks again? --- Margin * leverage multiplier. This mechanism is not friendly at all to small retail investors. --- It's interesting, but I still want to see the real data of this platform before deciding. --- Even if an order doesn't execute, there are still gains. Doesn't that mean the exchange can't earn trading fees? How does that make sense? --- Maker points—what's the final redemption rate? Question mark. --- Feels like the usual "zero risk" rhetoric common in the crypto world. Without some caution, I wouldn't dare to touch it.
