Nado is the rare points program with a confirmed reward path: the Ink Foundation has named Nado users as INK airdrop recipients, and Nado points convert to INK at TGE (~Q3 2026). Three signals push the score: (1) it's built by the Kraken team on Kraken's own L2 — team risk is minimal; (2) Season 2 is open access with all Season-1 progress carried over; (3) the weekly pool (300K–950K points) scales with volume, rewarding consistent traders over tourists.
The trap: this is a perp DEX — points are earned with real capital at risk, and wash-trading or self-matching can zero a week's allocation. Size positions sanely and treat PnL risk as the real cost of the farm.
A step-by-step Perps farming playbook on Ink. Cost bucket: Capital at risk.
Create a fresh wallet for Ink activity — never your main wallet. Fund it from a CEX withdrawal or a unique source so it isn't trivially clustered with your other addresses (Sybil hygiene).
Bridge or deposit the collateral asset Nado accepts (usually a stablecoin) on Ink. Size the deposit to what you can afford to trade with — perp PnL risk is real (cost bucket: Capital).
Points-style programs weight steady, organic volume across weekly epochs over one-off bursts. Mix maker limit orders and taker fills, keep positions reasonable, and avoid wash-trading or self-matching — most programs detect it and can zero your allocation.
Many perp DEX programs (e.g. liquidity-provider vaults) award points for passive deposits plus a share of trading fees — a lower-effort complement to active trading.
Referral points usually only accrue when referees actually trade. Track your weekly points, rank, and tier on the official dashboard and keep streaks alive where the program rewards them.
Allocations usually weight consistent, organic activity over a single burst. Keep light recurring activity on Ink rather than doing everything in one day, and watch the snapshot window (Weekly epochs).
When the token generation event goes live, connect the same wallet to the official claim site only — verify the URL, never sign approvals you don't understand, and beware of fake-claim phishing.
These are general best-practice steps for Perps programs, not a guarantee of eligibility or rewards. Always follow the project's official rules and links. Not financial advice — DYOR.
Updated as the team posts. We don't speculate beyond what's been said publicly.
There is no standalone Nado token. Per the official docs, Nado points convert to INK at Ink's TGE (expected ~Q3 2026), and the exact conversion formula will be published before launch.
Yes — all S1 point balances, Trader Tier history, NFT multipliers and referral relationships carried into Season 2 (live since May 21, 2026).
Nado's docs state that wash trading and self-matching are detected and can zero your weekly allocation. Genuine volume, maker flow and consistency are what score.
USDT0 trading capital plus a small ETH balance for Ink gas (~0.01 ETH). Trading fees apply (VIP tiers reduce them) — and perp PnL risk is the real cost.
