Following an invite-only beta phase that generated over $3 billion in cumulative trading volume, the program marks the next major step in RISEx's broader ecosystem rollout as the protocol builds toward long-term community ownership and future token distribution.Launch week concluded today with the distribution of the Season 0 retroactive points, recognizing the users who traded on a merit-based, invite-only venue with no guarantee of reward.The program also carries a claim no competing venue can make: 100% of RISE points are allocated to RISEx users, including traders, LPs, and builder code integrators.
