Definitions and formulas for assessment rules

Weighted maker volume ranking

• Weighted maker volume (USDT) = maker volume of the trading pair × pair weight (see Table 2)
• Daily weighted maker volume = sum of all weighted maker volume across trading pairs for the day
• Monthly weighted maker volume = sum of all weighted maker volume across trading pairs for the month
  • Example: The market maker's trading performance for the day is as follows:
    • Daily weighted spot maker volume = 100 USDT + 2000 USDT = 2100 USDT
    • Daily weighted futures maker volume = 500 USDT + 1500 USDT = 2000 USDT

• Weighted maker volume ranking
  • Denominator: Total number of spot/futures market makers minus those whose maker volume during the assessment period is below 10,000 USDT.
  • Numerator: Ranking of the market maker's monthly weighted maker volume. Market makers with identical volume will share the same rank.
  • Ranking of the market maker's weighted maker volume for the month = numerator ÷ denominator (Each 10% interval determines a tier range)
  • Example:
    • 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.
    • Numerator: If a particular spot market maker ranks 5th in terms of monthly weighted maker volume, 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

• Total market making scores
  • Daily market making score for a trading pair = maker volume × qualified trading pair ratio × market making score weight (see Table 3)
    • Qualified trading pair ratio = number of qualified snapshots ÷ total snapshots
  • Monthly market making score = sum of all daily market making scores across all trading pairs
• Market making score ranking
  • Denominator: Total number of spot/futures market makers minus those whose maker volume during the assessment period is below 10,000 USDT.
  • Numerator: The rank of the market maker's monthly market making score. Market makers with the same score share the same rank.
  • Market maker's market making score ranking = numerator ÷ denominator (Each 10% interval determines a tier range)
  • Example:
    • 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.
    • Numerator: If a spot market maker ranks 5th in terms of monthly market making score ranking, then:
    • 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.
• Qualified snapshots
  • Daily data collection time: 12:00:00 AM – 11:59:59 PM (UTC+8)
  • Three snapshots are taken at random every minute, totaling 4320 snapshots per day.
  • A qualified order snapshot must meet the following requirements:
    • At least one buy and one sell order must have been placed at least 2 seconds before the snapshot time.
    • The total buy order volume must be greater than the required cumulative minimum maker volume.
    • The total sell order volume must be greater than the required 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) ÷ [(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 (%)
    • Qualified snapshot example:
      • 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%.
      • Ultimately, only Snapshot 2 qualifies and will be counted toward the market making score.
