Green highlights the better side for airdrop farming. Volume and Vol ÷ OI are shown as raw market data without a winner — a higher dollar volume is not “better”, it usually means a more crowded reward pool.

FAQ
Compare questions
Which column matters most?+
Farm score already packs the trade-offs into one number. Use the row-by-row view when two scores are close and you want to see whether the edge is reward density, a quieter book, cheaper fees or an earlier program window.
What does Vol ÷ OI (turnover) mean?+
Daily volume divided by open interest. Real positioning typically turns over about 1–3× per day. When turnover is 8× or higher, the same open interest is being churned many times — a sign of incentive-driven volume competing with you for the pool, not that one venue is “bigger” than another.
Why is a $2B venue not automatically better than a $700M one?+
Volume is how much notional traded in 24 hours, not how good the airdrop is. A larger number means more farmers are already splitting the same reward pool. Farm score already penalises crowding — the volume row is there so you can see the raw competition, not to crown a winner.
