# Tailwind Rewards

> Earn back a share of the funding you pay on Phoenix

Tailwind Rewards pay you back a share of the funding you pay on eligible perpetual markets. They reward holding positions, not trading volume.

The program starts on November 4, 2026 at 1:00 PM Eastern Time (18:00 UTC) and runs until further notice.

## Eligible markets and rebate percentage

You get back 10% of the funding you pay. The rewards page in the Phoenix app lists the markets currently in the program. Phoenix may change the percentage or the markets; changes are announced in the app and apply from the next rewards day.

## How you earn

Funding on Phoenix settles every hour. See [Funding](https://docs.phoenix.trade/phoenix/margin-and-risk/funding-rate.md) for how the funding rate is derived.

* The rebate is calculated on each hourly settlement where you pay funding on an eligible market.
* Each settlement is counted on its own. Your funding payments are never netted against funding you receive, whether in another hour or on another market.
* Your rebate for the day is the total of those individual payments multiplied by the rebate percentage.
* There is no minimum, no cap, and nothing to sign up for. Every Phoenix account is automatically eligible.

For example, at 10%: you pay 60 USDC of funding across the morning's settlements, then funding flips direction and you receive 40 USDC in the afternoon. Your rebate for the day is 6 USDC, 10% of the 60 USDC you paid; the 40 USDC you received does not reduce it.

## Claiming rewards

* Rewards days run from 1:00 PM to 1:00 PM Eastern Time (18:00 UTC); the cutoff does not shift with daylight saving. Rebates are calculated once a rewards day ends and become claimable within 24 hours.
* The rewards page in the Phoenix app shows the funding you paid and the rebate you earned for each day, with today's amount updating hourly as funding settles.
* Claim rebates from the rewards page. Claiming deposits USDC to your cross-margin balance.
* Tailwind Rewards and [Referral Program](https://docs.phoenix.trade/incentive-programs/referral-program.md) rewards are claimed together.
* Rewards have no vesting period or lockup, and unclaimed rewards do not expire.

## Program rules

* Abusive behavior such as wash trading or manipulation of funding rates can cause rewards to be withheld.
* Phoenix may adjust the percentage, add or remove markets, or end the program with notice in the app.
