Rocket's options testnet is an invitation to help shape a better on-chain options market.
We want traders in the product: placing trades, opening positions, testing quotes, managing exposure, and telling us what would make the experience stronger.
That is what this points window is designed to support.
Trading matters.
Open interest matters.
Referrals matter.
Feedback matters when it helps improve the product.
The goal is to reward participation that helps Rocket learn what real options traders need.
Why This Points Window Exists
Options are different from spot and perps.
A healthy options market needs more than one-time activity. It needs traders who understand the trade, open positions with intent, monitor exposure, and come back. It needs enough open interest to show that users are doing more than testing the surface. It needs feedback from people who have actually moved through the product.
The options testnet gives Rocket a way to learn from that behavior early.
Points help recognize the users who contribute to that process.
That can include trading, maintaining open positions, referring users into the testnet, and sharing feedback that helps improve the product.
Why Open Interest Matters
Volume shows what traded.
Open interest shows what remains open.
That distinction matters for options.
A burst of trades can show activity, but open interest gives a better signal of whether traders are using options to express a view over time. It helps show whether users are willing to hold positions, manage exposure, and return to the product after the first trade.
For Rocket, that is important.
The testnet is not only meant to answer whether users can place a trade. It should also help answer whether traders can understand their positions, monitor them, and see a reason to keep engaging.
That is why open interest is part of the options testnet story.
It is a signal of market depth, trader intent, and whether the product is moving toward something users can actually trade.
What Participation Can Look Like
The strongest participation starts with using the product.
That may include:
- Placing options trades
- Opening and maintaining positions
- Building meaningful open interest
- Returning to test the product more than once
- Referring users into the testnet
- Sharing useful feedback after using the product
This does not need to be complicated. Use Rocket like a trader. Test the flow. Open positions. See how the market feels. Tell us what would make it better.
Where Referrals Fit
Referrals help bring more users into the testnet.
For this options release, the main focus is still product usage: trading, open interest, and feedback. Referral activity can help expand the testnet audience, but the most useful growth comes from users who actually engage with the product.
Bring people in who should be testing Rocket.
Perps traders. Options-curious DeFi users. Market-structure people. Crypto-native traders who want a better venue for on-chain options.
The more people actively testing the market, the more useful the feedback loop becomes.
Feedback That Helps
Rocket wants feedback from people who have used the product.
The most useful feedback is specific. It should help the team understand where the experience is working and where it needs to improve.
Helpful questions to answer:
- Did the quote make sense?
- Did the trade flow feel clear?
- Could you understand your open position?
- Was it clear how to manage or exit?
- Did the spread feel usable?
- What would make you come back?
- What would make you trade more size?
Feedback does not need to be polished. It just needs to be useful.
If something felt confusing, say where. If something worked well, say what. If something would keep you from trading more size, that is exactly the kind of feedback Rocket wants to hear.
