ROAD TOWN, British Virgin Islands, June 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AFX, a high-performance sovereign L1 purpose-built for decentralized derivatives, announced continued growth across its ecosystem as cumulative trading volume approached $1 billion, reaching $946.29 million alongside $20.71 million in Total Value Locked (TVL), according to on-chain data from DefiLlama.

This surge is directly driven by the protocol’s native VIP Program, which aligns active traders with ecosystem success by distributing 30% to 50% of platform fee revenue back to high-volume users. With annualized protocol revenue currently tracked at $1.07 million, the VIP reward pool distributes hard USDC yield directly back to participants, offering a sustainable, real-yield alternative to traditional inflationary token emission models.

The VIP program features tiered fee discounts scaling down to 0.001% Maker and 0.035% Taker at VIP 5, qualified via rolling 30-day volumes that consolidate master and sub-accounts. Operating natively on AFX’s sovereign L1 architecture, the program enables sub-100ms, zero-gas execution. Active traders can monitor their aggregated volume, tier status, and real-time reward pool allocations via the AFX VIP dashboard.
