Trade Perps, Earn Points, and Get Early on Dango’s Layer 1 DEX
Dango has opened its Points Program to the public, and Crypto Club Earners can position themselves early for what is shaping up to be one of the more structured DEX rewards campaigns of the year. Every week, Dango distributes 1,000,000 points — 750,000 to perpetual futures traders and 250,000 to vault depositors — with trading volume also unlocking a separate tier of loot boxes (Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Crystal) that each contain an NFT with a hidden point value revealed only when the program ends. The program is active now, and early Earners who participated in the Dango testnet and hold Galxe OATs get a 4-week boost of up to 400% on their points.
Dango is a decentralized exchange running on its own purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain, where users can trade spot markets, access perpetual futures, and earn yield through vault strategies — all from a single unified margin account. At the execution layer, Dango runs a fully on-chain order book with batch auctions, powered by its custom execution environment called Grug, which reduces MEV exposure and enables account abstraction, flexible fee handling, passkey-based access, and automated functions. The project is developed by Left Curve Software and led by Larry Lyu, a veteran Cosmos contributor and smart contract developer. Dango is backed by Hack VC, Lemniscap, and Delphi Labs, with audits completed by Sherlock, Zellic, and Inform Systems. Dango has also signaled that 50% of total token supply is allocated to the community, making the current Points Program the primary early on-ramp to a future token.
