Start with the participant, then the wallet
The detailed Season 1 rules count eligible volume from registration and limit participation to one account per person. They also require adult eligibility and allow identity checks before rewards. The campaign is offered by the Solana Foundation and includes Phoenix as an eligible venue.
A connected trading wallet alone therefore does not complete the reward setup. Check that the correct wallet is attached to the Frontier profile before assuming an exchange trade appears in campaign progress.
Three reward paths can share activity
The program combines season and weekly leaderboards, volume-milestone crates, and individual campaigns. The detailed guide gives crate volume thresholds of $10,000, $50,000 and $250,000. Their reward ranges are $2–$20, $10–$100 and $20–$2,000 respectively.
The range matters. For a hypothetical $250,000 of taker fills costing 0.035%, execution fees alone would be $87.50. That is an assumed fee example rather than a personal quote. A maximum crate reward cannot be treated as an expected rebate; the lower end and the cost of generating the activity tell a very different story.
This week narrows the eligible markets
The Solana ecosystem contest has a $25,000 shared pool across volume and PnL tracks. It covers SOL, JUP, PUMP, SKR, MET, ANSEM, STONK, JTO and FARTCOIN perpetuals on Phoenix, with signed-up verified wallets ranked. Its earning window ends on 2 October at 09:30 EDT, or 13:30 UTC.
A trade can qualify for the broader season yet fall outside this particular market list. Keep the campaign name next to each eligibility check, rather than treating all Frontier activity as one contest.
Resolve the date conflict before planning around it
The detailed guide and terms agree on 22 September–11 November 2026, with 12:00 UTC boundaries in the terms. The overview instead displays 21 September–7 November. We use the consistent detailed dates and retain this discrepancy so readers can recheck any deadline-dependent decision.
A claim window is separate again. Read the reward’s dashboard status and verification requirement after activity is reviewed; a visible leaderboard entry is not proof that payment is immediately claimable.
