Genesis Pass: Early Adopter Benefits Explained

Introduction

The MC Markets Genesis Pass is the platform's invitation-only program for early adopters — described in the platform's own words as "more than just an early access… a rare opportunity to co-create the future of MC Markets." If you've received a Genesis invitation code, this guide walks you through exactly what's included, the official rules to know before you click activate, and the precise step-by-step flow to get started.

Two things to internalize up front: the Pass is invite-only (you can't apply for it — you receive a unique code), and that code is for the recipient only and should never be shared.

1. What's Included: Two Concrete Benefits

The Pass carries two explicit benefits as defined in the official documentation.

20 USDC Genesis Explorer Gift Pack

A starter credit of 20 USDC is deposited into your account after registration. The official rule states: "20 USDC will be credited within 48 hours upon account opening."

Practically speaking, this is real on-platform capital — not a coupon, not a discount, not a points-only credit — usable to begin trading immediately once it lands.

Early Product Access

Genesis Pass holders are positioned to be the first to experience new features and assets as they're released. This typically takes the form of:

• Beta access to new product surfaces (new contracts, new asset listings, new tools)
• First exposure to upcoming features ahead of the wider user base

There's also a less tangible but real benefit here: early-access cohorts shape what features look like by the time everyone else sees them. Your feedback during early windows directly influences how product surfaces ship to the broader user base.

2. The Official Rules You Must Know Before Activating

The Genesis program comes with three explicit rules. Read each one carefully — especially the second.

Rule 1: 20 USDC Is Credited Within 48 Hours

After you complete the activation flow (next section), the 20 USDC credit lands in your account within 48 hours of account opening. It's not instant, but it requires no further action on your part — just wait, and it'll appear.

Rule 2: Withdrawals Require 600 Reward Points

This is the most important rule, and it determines what the Pass actually means in practice:

"Withdrawals can only be initiated once your reward points reach 600 or more. (You can earn points by engaging in trades.) Points will be credited on a T+1 basis."

In plain terms:

• Until you've accumulated at least 600 reward points, you cannot withdraw — including the 20 USDC gift pack itself.
• Points are earned through trading activity, on the standard formula (Trading Fees × 100, in USDC equivalent — see the Points System guide for full detail).
• Points are credited on a T+1 basis — earned on day T, credited the following day.

The design is straightforward: the gift pack is meant to fund genuine trading activity, not to be collected and immediately withdrawn. Reaching 600 reward points is what unlocks withdrawal — and you reach it by trading.

Rule 3: Final Interpretation and Force Majeure

By joining the program, you acknowledge having read and agreed to the Official Rules and Terms & Conditions. To the extent permitted by applicable law, MC Markets reserves the right of final interpretation of the program — including matters relating to account opening, withdrawal requirements, and reward distribution. In the event of force majeure or other special circumstances, the Company reserves the right to adjust the activity rules with prior notice.

3. How to Activate Your Genesis Pass: The 5-Step Flow

Five steps, in order — follow them strictly:

1. Copy or record your invitation code. This is a unique, recipient-only code provided in your invitation. Don't share it.
2. Visit MC Markets. Copy the official website link from the bottom of your invitation document and paste it into your web browser to access the platform.
3. Click "Login," enter the Invitation Code, and complete the sign-up procedure. The invitation code is required during sign-up — it's how the system links your new account to the Genesis program.
4. Fill in your account details via the official form. The form is hosted on Microsoft Forms: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/1eeqaf8jBJ. Click the link or copy and paste it into your browser.
5. Start your trading journey. Once registration and the form submission are complete, your account is active. Your 20 USDC will arrive within 48 hours.

After registration, review the full Official Rules before placing your first trade.

4. Critical Reminders Most People Overlook

A short, blunt list:

• Don't share your invitation code. It's intended for you alone. Sharing can compromise both the program's integrity and potentially your eligibility.
• Follow the steps in the correct order. Skipping or reordering the activation steps can cause registration issues that are inconvenient to fix.
• The 600-point withdrawal threshold applies to the gift pack too. You'll need genuine trading activity before any portion of the 20 USDC can leave the platform.
• The 20 USDC takes up to 48 hours. If it's not in your account immediately after registration, that's expected — just wait.
• Read the Official Rules in full after registration. This guide summarizes the key points, but the official document is authoritative.

5. Need Help?

The Genesis program has dedicated support channels:

• Telegram (Official Group): @mcmarketsglobal
• Email: cs@mcmarkets.com
• Official Website: https://mcmarkets.com/

If anything in the activation flow doesn't work as expected — a step that seems out of order, a credit that hasn't arrived past 48 hours, a question about reward points — these are the right places to reach out before assuming something is wrong.

6. Platform Points System (from Official Knowledge Base)

Trading Points - Calculated as Fees Paid x 100 (USDC denominated). Trading volume is counted when your opening order is executed.

Referral Points - Earn 10% of each direct referral's daily points. Points are calculated daily and apply only to direct referrals.

How Points Are Earned - Currently Available: Trading Points (from perpetual fees), Invite Count, Referral Commission (10% of your referrals' points). Coming Soon: Position Points, KYC Points, Badges.

Refer a Friend: You can find your unique invite code and link on the Points page (https://www.mcmarkets.com/en/points-airdrop). Share it with friends and when they sign up and enter your code in the 'Bound' section, your accounts will be linked.

Leaderboard: Updated hourly, featuring the top 100 users. Rankings are organized in season-based epochs, with airdrop allocations directly tied to your rank. Real-time anti-cheat monitoring ensures fair play.

ROI Leaderboard: Rankings are based on Return on Investment (ROI), with anti-withdrawal-gaming rules in place. The specific calculation methodology and rules are subject to the Points page.

Points & Returns: The higher your points, the larger the vault deposit quota you can unlock. Specific tier rules are subject to the Vault page.

Ecosystem Scaling Mechanism: To prevent unlimited point inflation and preserve the value of rewards, the protocol applies a dynamic decay mechanism. This mechanism balances the output of high-frequency trading, ensures fair distribution, and prevents incentives from being disproportionately captured by a small number of automated strategies. Tiered Conversion Efficiency: When a user's daily point output exceeds certain thresholds, the efficiency of earning additional Points will gradually decrease based on the algorithmic model. Design Purpose: To protect small and mid-sized traders, ensure fair participation, and support sustainable protocol growth across different market cycles.

Settlement and Adjustments: Real-Time Calculation - Points are automatically calculated when a trade occurs and are updated in the user's account in near real time. Algorithm Optimization - To adapt to changing liquidity needs, the MC Markets team reserves the right to dynamically adjust point coefficients and decay thresholds. All parameter updates are subject to the latest official announcements or the system's actual settlement results. Dynamic Ranking System - Points are updated daily, and the final weekly point total determines each user's position on the leaderboard. Airdrop allocation ratios are directly tied to ranking tiers, and real-time anti-cheating monitoring is in place to ensure a fair and healthy ecosystem.

7. Quick Recap

The four ideas worth taking with you:

• The Genesis Pass is invitation-only. You receive a unique code; you can't apply. The code is for the recipient only and should never be shared.
• Two concrete benefits: a 20 USDC Genesis Explorer Gift Pack (credited within 48 hours of account opening) and early access to new features and assets.
• Withdrawal requires 600 reward points earned through trading. Points credit on a T+1 basis. The threshold also applies to the 20 USDC gift pack.
• Activation is a 5-step flow: record the code → visit MC Markets → sign up using the code → complete the Microsoft Forms account-details submission → start trading. After registration, review the Official Rules in full.
