I've previously posted twice about GRVT, covering registration, KYC, and basic trading processes, so I assume most people are now familiar with the basics. This time, I want to explore more advanced topics—specifically, how to optimize interaction strategies on GRVT to efficiently earn points (for airdrops) and enhance trading efficiency. After more than a month of experimenting, I’ve summarized some insights to share with you all. Feel free to join the discussion!

1. Leveraging Self-Custody and Low Latency for Optimized Small-Amount High-Frequency Trading
GRVT emphasizes self-custody and utilizes zkSync Era’s Validium technology, delivering impressive trading speeds (officially rated at 600,000 transactions per second with latency under 2 milliseconds). Its architecture combines off-chain matching with on-chain settlement, resulting in ultra-low fees—currently zero during the mainnet Alpha phase. This makes it an excellent platform for small-amount, high-frequency trading.

Strategy:
You can deploy small sums (e.g., 10-20 USDC) to scalp on volatile trading pairs like BTC/USD or ETH/USD perpetual contracts. GRVT’s interface offers one-click trading, and the take-profit/stop-loss feature introduced on March 5th is highly practical. I typically aim for 5-10 point profits, entering and exiting the market swiftly. With self-custody, your funds remain in your wallet, ensuring high security and peace of mind. Every trade contributes to point accumulation, especially in the mainnet Alpha phase, where trading volume directly impacts Liquidity Provider (LP) and Ecosystem points, enhancing potential airdrop rewards.
Tip:
GRVT integrates TradingView’s candlestick charts, and the 5-minute or 15-minute timeframes work well for capturing small price waves. Avoid chasing large trends—during volatile periods, 10-20 trades a day are plenty.

2. Deep Engagement in Liquidity Provision to Maximize LP Points
GRVT’s Liquidity Provider (LP) reward program is enticing, allocating 4% of the total token supply to LPs over 18 months (starting from the mainnet launch). To maximize LP points, focus on offering tight bid-ask spreads and maintaining order depth.
Approach:
For liquid pairs like BTC/USD or ETH/USD, keep bid-ask spreads between 0.1% and 0.3% when placing orders. For instance, if BTC is priced at 60,000 USDC, I’d set a buy order at 59,950 and a sell order at 60,050. This boosts execution chances and earns recognition as a “quality quote” from the system, yielding extra LP points. GRVT’s transparent order book lets you analyze depth beforehand, helping you avoid price levels crowded with large orders and minimizing the risk of being front-run.

Note:
LP points are calculated monthly (starting at 00:00 UTC on the 1st), making the beginning and end of each month prime times to push harder. Plan your strategy early in the month and maintain consistent order activity.

5. Paying Attention to Future Features and Planning Ahead
GRVT’s roadmap highlights spot order books and options order books (slated for April 2025), a boon for advanced traders. Spot order books enable arbitrage, while options order books support hedging and complex strategies like straddles or strangles. GRVT also aims to enter the Real World Assets (RWA) market, potentially including traditional securities, promising robust liquidity.
Preparation:
Build positions in mainstream assets like BTC, ETH, and SOL now. When spot and options trading go live, leverage these for arbitrage or hedging. The RWA launch could draw institutional players, so it’s worth monitoring early.

4. Utilizing Cross-Asset Margin to Amplify Capital Efficiency
Per GRVT’s roadmap (updated March 8th), future support for cross-asset margin will benefit users with larger capital. This feature allows you to use one asset (e.g., ETH) as collateral for positions in another (e.g., BTC), increasing leverage and capital efficiency.
Strategy:
When this feature launches, I plan to use stable assets like USDC or DAI as collateral to trade perpetual contracts on volatile assets like SOL or BNB. This reduces collateral volatility risk while amplifying returns. For example, I might use 1000 USDC to open a 3x leveraged SOL/USD contract, targeting 20%-30% price swings. GRVT’s portfolio margining system allows risks across positions to offset each other, reducing liquidation risk compared to single-asset collateral.
Reminder:
Cross-asset volatility can be tricky and carries higher risk. Start with small amounts to test the waters before scaling up.

3. Referral Strategy: Building a Small, High-Quality Network
Ecosystem points depend heavily on referrals and the trading volume of those you invite. Randomly distributing referral links yields mediocre results—I’ve learned that the quality of referrals outweighs quantity.
Operation:
I recruited five friends active in DeFi or trading communities and formed a small group. We take turns making trades on GRVT daily (e.g., 10 trades each, starting with 5 USDC), collectively increasing our trading volume. Referral points are tied to the trading activity of invitees, so this approach steadily boosts my Ecosystem points. The trick is to collaborate with dependable people and avoid random invites, as GRVT has stated it will penalize gaming tactics.
