Earn Rewards with Hydration
Hydration is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform built as its own scalable appchain rather than a smart contract sitting on top of someone else's chain. From one omnipool-based interface you can trade across multiple asset types with lower slippage, provide single-sided liquidity, stake HDX, borrow against your holdings, and put idle assets into automated multi-asset strategies. It also lets you pay transaction fees in whichever supported asset you're already holding, instead of forcing you to keep a separate gas token around. If you are already exploring Web3 and DeFi, Hydration is one of the platforms we follow and use ourselves.
Get 10% Back on Your Trading Fees
Sign up through our link above using referral code TOTESTEK and Hydration links your account to that code. Once linked, you get 10% back on your Omnipool trading fees, paid out as HDX rewards, on top of whatever else you're already doing on the platform — providing liquidity, staking, or borrowing. There's no separate signup step for the rebate itself: it applies automatically to fees generated by trades from an account linked to the code. As with any DeFi program, the exact terms are set and updated by Hydration, so it's worth checking the current numbers on their referrals page before you rely on them.
Other Ways to Earn on Hydration
The fee rebate is a nice bonus on top of a platform that already has several ways to put assets to work:
- Omnipool liquidity provision. Supply a single asset (no need to pair it yourself) and earn a share of trading fees plus seasonal farming incentives.
- GIGAHDX staking. Stake HDX and earn yield reflected in a rising GIGAHDX-to-HDX exchange rate, plus extra rewards for participating in governance votes.
- Lending & borrowing. Supply assets to earn variable interest, or borrow against collateral, on a money market built with prioritized on-chain liquidations.
- Automated strategies (GIGADOT / GIGAETH). Composite tokens that stack staking rewards, lending interest, and trading fees from their underlying pools into one position.
How the Referral Program Works
Hydration's referral program links your trades to a referral code when you sign up through a referral link. Depending on the terms live on Hydration at the time you join, this generally works out to:
- You receive cashback on Omnipool trading fees when your account is linked to a referral code — currently 10% back, as above.
- The referrer (in this case, TotEsTek) earns a share of the HDX rewards generated by fees from trades made by accounts referred through their code.
- Rewards are funded from Omnipool asset fees, not from a separate marketing budget, so the program is designed to scale with real trading activity rather than fixed payouts.
