# Everstrike Mainnet Receives Initial Liquidity The [Everstrike Mainnet](/announcements/everstrike-mainnet-is-live.md) has been seeded with an initial liquidity amount of $5M. This enables traders to engage in live trading in all of Everstrike's 257 markets, with the largest markets ([BTC/USD](https://app.everstrike.io/app/trade?pair=USD_BTC_PERP), [ETH/USD](https://app.everstrike.io/app/trade?pair=USD_ETH_PERP), [SOL/USD](https://app.everstrike.io/app/trade?pair=USD_SOL_PERP)) currently supporting order quantities of $50,000 and greater.

Additionally, two new incentive programs have been launched: * [The Everstrike Liquidity Incentive Program](/announcements/introducing-the-everstrike-liquidity-incentive-program.md) * [The Everstrike Bonus Program](/account/trading-bonus.md) ### **Liquidity Distribution** Liquidity is distributed based on a pro-rata algorithm that favors larger markets (BTC/USD, ETH/USD, SOL/USD) over mid-sized and smaller markets. Options and spot receive a proportionally smaller amount of liquidity relative to futures. ### **Liquidity Provisioning** As with the Everstrike Testnet, the bulk of the liquidity on the Everstrike Mainnet is provided by the [Everstrike Perpetual Vault](/trading/perpetual-vault.md). It is also possible for traders to individually add liquidity to the Everstrike Mainnet, by interacting with the [Everstrike API](https://docs.everstrike.io), or by placing limit orders manually through the [Everstrike Frontend.](https://app.everstrike.io/app) [The Everstrike Liquidity Incentive Program](/announcements/introducing-the-everstrike-liquidity-incentive-program.md) incentivizes traders to partake in liquidity provisioning on the Everstrike Mainnet. ### Timeline March 2025 - The Everstrike Mainnet is launched.
