Derive rewards teams that bring flow and liquidity to the exchange. This section covers the fee-share programs open to integrators, the institutional rewards program for market makers, and the API controls that professional traders rely on: fee schedules, rate limits, and market maker protections. Every program links through to the underlying V3 API methods and settings, so you can go from reading about a program to shipping against it in a few clicks.
