Genius has announced the suspension of its dynamic points distribution system, effective 19:30 ET on January 17, 2026. The platform will transition to a retroactive points system, with detailed rules to be disclosed soon. While points earned through transactions will remain in user accounts, referral points obtained through bot farms will be invalidated. The first round of retroactive point adjustments is scheduled for 16:00 ET on January 19. In addition, Genius plans to release its airdrop whitepaper on January 18, providing further insights into its new points distribution strategy. This move aims to address issues of abuse and ensure a fairer allocation of rewards among users.
