The meaning remains the same, and there are no grammatical errors. Please find the translation below:
Points Program: The points program, a well-known strategy, has been running for over a year in multiple protocol projects. Its aim is to reward users for their active participation and contributions. In trading platforms like Whales Market and Aevo, users can not only accumulate points but also hedge or trade their points and pre-issued tokens. However, these transactions are not always smooth sailing. For example, on the Whales platform, users must provide collateral, and there is often an information asymmetry regarding the total number of points and the precise conversion of certain protocols, which adds complexity and risk to the transactions. At the same time, another reward mechanism called farming points has also gained prominence on platforms like Ethereum. It quantifies user participation and contributions into tradable assets, providing users with more flexibility and reward opportunities. Gearbox and Pendle are excellent protocols that have successfully implemented this mechanism on Ethereum. Through the farming points system, they effectively incentivize user participation and drive the development of the entire ecosystem. However, it is regrettable that in the Solana ecosystem, we have not yet found protocols comparable to Gearbox and Pendle.
