   1. Flipster at a glance

Flipster positions itself as a derivatives-first platform built for speed and execution quality.

Key points Flipster emphasizes:

• High-performance perpetual futures exchange

• Aiming for near-zero spread on major perp pairs

• Ultra-fast matching engine with instant fills

• Yield on USDT balance even without separate Earn products (platform-specific mechanism)

In short, Flipster tends to fit:

• Traders who trade perps frequently

• Scalpers and short-term traders who care about slippage and spread

• Users who want to keep stablecoin balances on-platform and still earn some return while trading

2. Who operates Flipster?

Flipster is widely known as being built by Presto Labs, a Singapore-based quantitative trading firm.

Presto Labs highlights:

• Founded in 2014

• Offices in Singapore, Shanghai, and Seoul

• Specialized in data-driven algorithmic trading and market making

That kind of infrastructure typically translates into stronger execution, liquidity, and tighter spreads, which is exactly what Flipster tries to sell.

Flipster also mentions initiatives like deep liquidity, fast listings, proof-of-reserves attempts, and institutional-grade security. It’s not positioned as an anonymous “unknown” exchange, but rather as a quant-infrastructure-backed trading venue.

3. The basic strategy to reduce Flipster fees

There are three main levers:

1. Referral-based fee discounts or payback

2. VIP tiers that reduce your base fee rates as your volume grows

3. Loyalty programs and events that improve your effective net return

The idea is simple:

• Flipster is a perps-heavy platform

• More volume usually means higher VIP tier and lower base fees

• Using a referral code (like CLINK) can add an extra layer of payback on top

Over time, “CLINK code + VIP tier + events” can create a meaningful difference versus using a standard account setup.

4. How to get CLINK payback on Flipster fees

The first step is to create your Flipster account through the CLINK link so the referral setting is correctly applied from the beginning.

4-1. Sign up using the CLINK Flipster link

• Create your Flipster account

• Complete KYC

If you do not have a Flipster account yet, use the CLINK link to sign up. With the CLINK setup, you can receive up to 35% fee payback based on the referral configuration.

4-2. Receive payback from your trading fees
Whenever you trade perpetuals on Flipster, a portion of the trading fees can be returned as payback according to the configured rate.

Meaning:

• Same trading volume

• Lower net fees over time
  when your account is properly set up with CLINK versus a standard account.

5. Flipster events worth joining right now

Flipster runs events regularly. Here are the ones that can be attractive if your goal is “save fees while also farming rewards.”

6. USD1 Loyalty Program: earn beyond fee savings

Flipster also promotes a USD1 Loyalty Program where stablecoin holders can aim for yield plus points.

As described in the program context:

• Issuer: World Liberty Financial (WLFI)

• Custody: BitGo Trust

• USD-backed stablecoin positioning with a compliance framework

• On-chain availability: BNB Smart Chain (BSC) and others (network availability may vary)

6-2. How USD1 loyalty points are earned
Points can be accumulated through activities like:

• Trading using USD1 (spot or futures, tracked by volume thresholds)

• Holding USD1 above certain balance levels to earn points plus USDT interest

• Converting USDT to USD1 (points may be credited based on conversion amount)

These activities are typically tracked within your Flipster account.

6-3. “Up to 10% APR” structure (program framing)
The program framing is usually described as:

• Base APR around 2%

• Bonus APR up to ~8% depending on your last 30-day USD1 volume and USD1 holding balance

• Total: up to ~10% APR

• Interest is described as being paid daily in USDT

Practical takeaway:
“Trade + hold USD1” can stack:

• Fee payback (CLINK)

• Interest earnings

• Loyalty points
  in one place.

Program terms can change, so always check the latest conditions inside Flipster before committing capital.

7. Who Flipster is best for

Flipster is a strong fit if you are:

• Holding USDT or USD1 on exchange and want to earn interest while staying ready to trade

8. Risk notice and wrap-up

Important risk notes:

• Perpetual futures and leverage trading are high risk and can lead to significant losses.

• Crypto assets are volatile and principal is not guaranteed.

• Exchange events, loyalty programs, APR, and payback terms can change or end at any time.

• Final decisions and risk management are entirely your responsibility.
