Key Tasks and corresponding Bonus Rewards

To receive the bonus reward under the TradeBack Program, participants must complete an Eligible Transaction within the Effective Period.

An “Eligible Transaction” is a transaction with a minimum equivalent value of $100 that involves either:

1. Purchasing an eligible digital asset available on the Uphold platform using fiat currency; or
2. Converting or swapping one eligible digital asset for another eligible digital asset on the Uphold platform.

Eligible Transactions do not include selling digital assets for fiat, depositing fiat or digital assets into an Uphold account, or withdrawing digital assets or fiat from an Uphold account. Additionally, transactions involving stablecoins or precious metal-backed assets are excluded from eligibility. Stablecoins are defined as digital assets designed to maintain a stable value relative to a fiat currency or other asset, while precious metal-backed assets refer to digital assets whose value is directly tied to the price of gold, silver, or other precious metals. Uphold reserves the right to determine asset eligibility at its sole discretion.

Only the first Eligible Transaction completed within the Effective Period will qualify for the Bonus Reward. The Bonus Reward is calculated as 10% of the Eligible Transaction amount, up to a maximum of $100. The Bonus Reward will be credited to the participant’s Uphold account within seven (7) days following the completion of the Eligible Transaction and will be paid in the same digital asset purchased or received as part of the Eligible Transaction.
