Global Score Farming on Catapult — Long-Term Strategy

Every trade, chart creation, and referral on Catapult contributes to your Global Score. The score is cumulative from the platform’s launch — there is no way to go back and collect score you did not earn. This makes early and consistent participation structurally advantageous.

Why the score matters: Catapult has explicitly stated that Global Score will determine allocation in future platform rewards. The precedent is set by Hyperliquid, where early users who accumulated points received HYPE token airdrops worth $10,000 to $700,000+. Catapult is building a similar mechanic.

The optimal farming strategy is consistency over intensity. Trading at moderate volume every day accumulates more score than sporadic high-volume sessions. The score algorithm rewards regular engagement, not one-time whales.

Chart creation is the highest-leverage farming activity. When you create a GBM chart on Catapult, you earn 0.5% of all trading volume that occurs on that chart — forever. A popular chart created early compounds indefinitely. Create charts with session parameters that attract consistent volume: 15-minute sessions at moderate leverage are historically the most traded.

Referrals multiply your impact. Every trader you refer earns you a percentage of their trading volume as a referral fee. This is passive score accumulation that runs 24/7 without your direct participation.

The Hyperliquid lesson: users who started on day one and traded consistently — even small amounts — ended up in the top score tiers. Users who joined 6 months later and tried to catch up with large volume trades were structurally disadvantaged because they could not retroactively earn early-user score.

Practical routine: set aside a fixed amount you can afford to lose. Trade a fixed fraction (5–10%) daily. Create one new chart per week. Share your referral link consistently. Do this for 6–12 months. The compounding effect of consistent score accumulation is the most underrated edge on the platform.
