Definitions and formulas for assessment rules

Weighted maker volume ranking

1. Weighted maker volume (USDT) = maker volume of the trading pair × pair weight (see Table 1)

2. Daily weighted maker volume = sum of all weighted maker volume across trading pairs for the day

3. Monthly weighted maker volume = sum of all weighted maker volume across trading pairs for the month

4. Example: The market maker's trading performance for the day is as follows:

   a.Daily weighted spot maker volume = 100 USDT + 4000 USDT = 4100 USDT

   b. Daily weighted futures maker volume = 500 USDT + 2100 USDT = 2600 USDT

   Trading pair	Transaction type	Maker volume (USDT)	Maker weight	Weighted maker volume (USDT)
   BTC/USDT	Spot	100	1	100
   HBAR/USDT	Spot	200	20	4000
   BTC/USDT	Futures	500	1	500
   UNI/USDT	Futures	300	7	2100

5. Weighted maker volume ranking

a. Denominator: Total number of spot/futures market makers minus those whose maker volume during the assessment period is below 10,000 USDT.

b. Numerator: Ranking of the market maker's monthly weighted maker volume. Market makers with identical volume will share the same rank.

c. Ranking of the market maker's weighted maker volume for the month = numerator ÷ denominator (Each 10% interval determines a tier range)

d. Example :

i. Denominator: In March 2025, there were 100 spot market makers. Among them, 20 had a maker volume below 10,000 USDT during the assessment period. So, 80 market makers were eligible for ranking.

ii. Numerator: If a particular spot market maker ranks 5th in terms of monthly weighted maker volume

iii. Then, their weighted spot maker volume ranking = 5 ÷ (100 – 20) = 6.25%. Since 6.25% falls within the 0–10% range, the maker qualifies as a Tier 1 spot market maker.

Market making score

1. Total market making scores

a. Daily market making score for a trading pair = maker volume × qualified trading pair ratio × market making score weight (see Table 2)

i. Qualified trading pair ratio = number of qualified snapshots ÷ total snapshots

b. Monthly market making score = sum of all daily market making scores across all trading pairs

2. Market making score ranking

a. Denominator: Total number of spot/futures market makers minus those whose maker volume during the assessment period is below 10,000 USDT.

b. Numerator: The rank of the market maker's monthly market making score. Market makers with the same score share the same rank.

c. Market maker's market making score ranking = numerator ÷ denominator (Each 10% interval determines a tier range)

d. Example:

i. Denominator: In March 2025, there were 100 spot market makers. Among them, 20 had a maker volume below 10,000 USDT during the assessment period. So, 80 market makers were eligible for ranking.

ii. Numerator: If a spot market maker ranks 5th in terms of monthly market making score ranking, then:

iii. Their monthly market making score ranking = 5 ÷ (100 – 20) = 6.25%. Since 6.25% falls within the 0–10% range, the maker qualifies as a Tier 1 spot market maker.

3. Qualified snapshots

a. Daily data collection time: 12:00:00 AM – 11:59:59 PM (UTC+8)

b. Three snapshots are taken at random every minute, totaling 4320 snapshots per day.

c. A qualified order snapshot must meet the following requirements:

i. Daily data collection time: 12:00:00 AM – 11:59:59 PM (UTC+8)

ii. Three snapshots are taken at random every minute, totaling 4320 snapshots per day.

iii. A qualified order snapshot must meet the following requirements:

1). At least one buy and one sell order must have been placed at least 1 second before the snapshot time.

2). The total buy order volume must be greater than the required cumulative minimum maker volume.

3). The total sell order volume must be greater than the required cumulative minimum maker volume.

4). (Sell price of the order at the cumulative minimum maker volume – buy price of the order at the cumulative minimum maker volume) ÷ [(sell price of the order at the cumulative minimum maker volume + buy price of the order at the cumulative minimum maker volume) ÷ 2 ] ≤ required maker spread ratio (%)

5). Qualified snapshot example:

1° Suppose the cumulative minimum maker volume per side for ETH/USDT is 3000 USDT, and the required maker spread must be less than 0.50%.

2° Ultimately, only Snapshot 2 qualifies and will be counted toward the market making score

No.	Direction	Order creation time	Snapshot time	Duration	Order duration meets requirement?	Cumulative maker volume (USDT)	Minimum maker volume meets requirement?	Order price	Required maker spread (%)	Maker spread meets requirement?	Final snapshot meets requirement?

	Sell	1'06''24'''	1'07''24'''	1s		2000		3871.66
Snapshot 2	Buy	1'06''24'''	1'07''24'''	1s	Yes	4000	Yes	3863.23	(3869.28 – 3863.23) ÷ [ (3869.28 + 3863.23) ÷ 2 ] = 0.15% < 0.50%	Yes	Yes
	Sell	1'06''24'''	1'07''24'''	1s		3000		3869.28
Snapshot 3	Buy	1'06''24'''	1'07''24'''	1s	Yes	3000	Yes	3850.52	(3870.12 – 3850.52) ÷ [ (3870.12 + 3850.52) ÷ 2 ] = 0.51% > 0.50%	No, the maker spread exceeds the limit.	No, the maker spread exceeds the limit.
	Sell	1'06''24'''	1'08''24'''	2s		6000		3870.12
Snapshot 4	Buy	1'06''24'''	1'07''24''	1s	No, the order duration is too short.	3000	Yes	3861.89	(3867.32 – 3861.89) ÷ [ (3867.32 + 3861.89) ÷ 2 ] = 0.14% < 0.50%	Yes	No, sell order placed < 2s before the snapshot.
	Sell	1'07''24'''	1'07''04'''	0.8s		7000		3867.32
