$50,000 in HALO for volume and net buyers
A 14-day trading campaign on the HALO/VIRTUAL pool on Aerodrome. $50,000 in HALO: half pro rata to traded volume, half to net buying volume.

HALO trades against VIRTUAL on Aerodrome, on Base. Liquidity in that pool is already deep — what we want to reward is the trading on top of it. So we’re allocating $50,000 worth of HALO to the traders bringing the volume.
It’s a 14-day campaign on the HALO/VIRTUAL pool, split evenly between two things we want to reward: the volume you trade, and the position you end up holding.
How it works
- The pool. HALO/VIRTUAL on Aerodrome, on Base.
- The prize. $50,000 worth of HALO, valued at the snapshot that closes the period, in two equal halves.
- The period. 14 days: 10 August 2026 to the snapshot on 24 August 2026.
- $25,000 for volume. Half goes pro rata to total traded volume in the pool. Buys and sells both count. Your share is your volume over everyone’s volume.
- $25,000 for net buyers. The other half goes pro rata to net buying volume: your buys minus your sells. Positive nets qualify, and your share is your net over the total net of every qualifying wallet.
The two halves are independent, so you can earn from both. A wallet that trades actively and ends the period holding more HALO than it started with scores twice.
One thing worth stating plainly, because the volume half does reward turnover: every trade pays the pool’s fee. Trading against yourself to manufacture volume is a straight cost with no offsetting return, and it earns nothing on the net buying half, where buys and sells cancel out. The design pays for real throughput and real conviction, and charges you for faking either.
When rewards arrive
The snapshot closes the trading period. After that we calculate final allocations, publish them, and open a 7-day distribution window in which rewards are distributed in daily tranches.
We’re not putting a date on that window yet, on purpose. Reconstructing 14 days of pool activity and standing up the distribution properly takes as long as it takes, and we’d rather announce a date we can hold than one we have to move. The trading period is the part to put in your calendar; the rest gets announced when the numbers are final.
Liquidity providers earn in parallel
Trading is one side of this. If you’d rather earn from the activity than trade it, you can deposit into the HALO/VIRTUAL pool and take a share of the trading fees the campaign generates — a yield opportunity running alongside the trading incentives, for the length of the campaign and after it.
Worth being honest about the tradeoff: providing liquidity exposes you to impermanent loss, and a volatile early market is exactly where that bites. Trading fees are compensation for that risk, not a free return.
What sits underneath the campaign
An incentive is only as good as the market it points at. So, the state of that market:
- Initial liquidity is locked for ten years. The float the network launched against cannot be pulled out from underneath it.
- No team or treasury unlocks during this period. The single exception is liquidity provisioning for CEX listings — supply that goes into order books, not onto the market.
- No insiders, no presale, no ICO, no venture allocation. HALO launched through Virtuals as a community-first genesis. Nobody bought in at a price you couldn’t.
The full design — the fee-to-buyback loop, the emissions rule, the complete genesis allocation and release schedule — is in the HALO whitepaper.

Campaign terms: rewards are calculated from onchain activity in the HALO/VIRTUAL Aerodrome pool over the stated period, valued at the snapshot: half pro rata to total traded volume, half pro rata to net buying volume. Only wallets with positive net buying volume qualify for the second half. We reserve the right to exclude wallets engaged in manipulative or abusive behaviour, and to adjust mechanics if circumstances require, with any change published. Nothing here is an offer, a solicitation, or investment advice. HALO confers no claim on revenue or assets except as implemented in published smart contracts. Digital assets involve substantial risk of loss, and providing liquidity carries additional risk including impermanent loss.
