TL;DR
The Vanguard Program is the core growth engine for the Orderly One ecosystem. It incentivizes “Distributors” to onboard new Builders (DEXs) through a tiered revenue-sharing model.- Key Roles: Participants join as either Ambassadors or Builders.
- Profit Mechanism: Revenue is generated via the “Fee Spread” between the Distributor’s tier and their Invitee’s tier.
- Scale Advantage: Distributors can level up their tier using the aggregate volume of their entire invitee network.
1. Participant Profiles
| Feature | Ambassador | Builder |
|---|---|---|
| Role | General users / Affiliates | Graduated DEXs |
| Revenue Stream | Referral share only | DEX operational profit + Referral share |
| Revenue Settlement | Ambassador trading account | Builder admin account |
2. Onboarding & Binding Logic
The 4-Step Setup
- Connect: Link an EOA wallet via Ethereum, Arbitrum One, or Base.
- Profile: Select the “Ambassador” or “Builder” path.
- Activate: Complete key creation (Builders must complete the “Graduation” process).
- Share: Use unique distributor codes or URLs to bind invitees.
Binding Rules (Guardrails)
- Unidirectional: An invitee can only be bound to a single distributor.
- Non-Reciprocal: Cross-referral (e.g., A invites B, B invites A) is strictly prohibited.
- Timing: Binding must be established at or before the invitee’s DEX graduation.
- Immutability: Once established, the binding relationship cannot be modified.
3. Orderly Tiering Programme
A distributor’s tier is determined by their 30-day Aggregate Volume and $ORDER Staking. This system aligns distributor growth with overall ecosystem performance.Tiers & Privileges
| Tier | 30d Aggregate Volume | $ORDER Staked | Base Taker Fee | Tier Assignment Privilege |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Public | ≥ $0 | ≥ 0 | 3.00 bps | - |
| Silver | ≥ $30M | ≥ 100K | 2.75 bps | - |
| Gold | ≥ $90M | ≥ 250K | 2.50 bps | Can assign Silver / Public |
| Platinum | ≥ $1B | ≥ 2M | 2.00 bps | Can assign Gold & below |
| Diamond | ≥ $10B | ≥ 7M | 1.00 bps | Can assign Platinum & below |
The Volume Formula
(Note: For Ambassadors, personal volume is treated as 0). Reference: Orderly Builder Programme.4. Revenue Share Mechanics
The Core Equation
Distributors earn the “spread” between the invitee’s base fee and their own. Distributor Margin: (A guaranteed 0.1 bps minimum margin applies to Taker orders even if tiers are identical). Invitee (DEX) Margin:Fee Spread Example
If the Distributor is Diamond (1.0 bps) and the Invitee is Gold (2.5 bps) with an End User Fee of 5.0 bps:- Distributor Share: $2.5 - 1.0 = 1.5 bps
- Invitee Share: $5.0 - 2.5 = 2.5 bps
- Orderly Protocol Fee: 1.0 bps
5. Settlement & Distribution
- Frequency: Daily settlement at 00:00 UTC.
- Automatic Distribution:
- Builders: Revenue is credited to the Builder Admin Account.
- Ambassadors: Revenue is credited to the Ambassador Trading Account(The trading account created under the ambassador broker).
