Participants will be eligible for prizes in three categories: 1) Total wallet PnL percentage performance (”Best Trader”), 2) Single trade PnL percentage performance (”Best Trade”), and 3) Most number of opened and closed trades (”Most Trades”). Please note only closed trades will count towards the trading contest leaderboard, meaning any open trades must be closed by 19:59:59 UTC 6/7 to be included in the final leaderboard determining prize allocation.
Additional prizes may be awarded to those supplying the most high-quality, actionable feedback on the platform through the interface’s “Give Feedback” function on the top right portion of the screen. Do not submit multiple of the same feedback or generic, canned responses as these will not be counted.
Prizes will be distributed in the days following the competition’s close based on ranking on the leaderboard at the time of competition’s end. Both longs and shorts across all trading pairs count towards performance. Prize amounts below will be paid out in USDC on Arbitrum.
