Trading Volume Competition
Eligible buys and sells automatically count toward your round volume.
Reach 1,000 USDC to qualify for ranking rewards. Below that, you can still earn volume rewards.
Every eligible trade counts. Reach 1,000 USDC in trading volume this round to qualify for the leaderboard.
Two competitions run side by side, with rewards calculated separately for each round.
Current prize pool—USDC
X is the locked fee bonus. It is excluded from the current prize pool until the threshold is reached.
Once the fee bonus reaches 10,000 USDC, the full amount is added, subject to final review.
Creators receive 30% of eligible fees. Half of the remaining 70% (70% × 50%) funds the competition: 35% of total eligible fees.
Invited creators can also compete as traders.
Rewards from both competitions can be combined.
Eligible buys and sells automatically count toward your round volume.
Reach 1,000 USDC to qualify for ranking rewards. Below that, you can still earn volume rewards.
Invited creators launch and promote prediction markets.
Compete on the eligible trading volume generated by other traders.
The fee bonus is locked and excluded from the total pool.
At exactly 10,000, the total prize pool is 20,000 USDC.
Fee bonus = eligible trading fees × 70% × 50%. Only fees actually collected, with no refunds or reversals, count. Creator rebates are paid separately and are excluded from competition prizes.
This entire allocation funds ranking rewards for the top 10 creators who meet the qualifying threshold.
The trader allocation is split into two reward categories.
Creators and traders each receive 50% of the total pool.Individual rewards depend on rank or share of eligible volume. Prizes for unfilled ranks are not redistributed automatically. Final pool amounts are subject to review; estimates may change after refunds or reversals.
For 10,000 USDC in eligible fees, creators receive 3,000. Half of the remaining 7,000 or 3,500 accrues toward the fee bonus. Below 10,000, Round 1 pays only the 10,000 in base prizes. At or above 10,000, the full fee bonus is added. Refunds and reversals reduce the relevant fees and estimated rewards. Trade principal, deposits, and trading profits or losses do not fund the pool.
Dates and prizes for future rounds will be announced separately.
Nov 10, 2026 — Dec 10
Round 1 runs from Nov 10, 2026, 12:00 AM up to, but excluding, Dec 10, 12:00 AM, New York time. Future rounds follow the officially announced schedule.
Approved, live markets from invited creators qualify regardless of when they were created. Only eligible trades by other users during the selected round count.
Traders compete on their own eligible volume. Creators compete on eligible volume from other traders in their markets.
No sign-up needed. Reach 1,000 USDC this round to qualify for rankings. Below that, you can still earn volume rewards.
Reach 1,000 USDC in eligible round volume to qualify. The top 50 share 15% of the total pool. Eligible traders also share 35% in volume rewards, proportional to their volume.

Rankings and estimated rewards will appear when leaderboard data is available.
Ranking and volume reward estimates use the same snapshot. Locked fee bonuses are excluded from totals. Final rewards are subject to review after each round.
Successful, legitimate buys and sells against the automated market maker count at their actual executed value.
Complete eligible trades in approved, live prediction markets.
If you sell a position bought before the round, only the sale counts. Earlier purchases are not backdated. Each successful trade counts once.
Trades count when executed, even if the market has not resolved. Redeeming payouts after resolution adds no trading volume.
Volume resets each round. Reach at least 1,000 USDC to enter the rankings; the top 50 earn ranking rewards. Below 1,000 USDC, you can still earn volume rewards in proportion to eligible volume.
Markets created before or during the competition qualify. Only eligible trades executed within the round count; earlier trades are excluded.
Volume is combined across your qualifying markets. Trading in your own markets does not increase your creator score, but can count toward your trader score if eligible.
Reach at least 1,000 USDC in eligible volume from other traders across your markets. The top 10 earn ranking rewards. Renaming or transferring a market does not change its recorded competition attribution.
Round 1: Nov 10, 2026, 12:00 AM up to, but excluding, Dec 10, 12:00 AM, New York time.
Beijing time: Nov 10, 2026, 01:00 PM up to, but excluding, Dec 10, 01:00 PM.
Failed, reverted, or unexecuted buys and sells.
Deposits, withdrawals, transfers, and payout redemptions after market resolution.
Verified abusive circular trading, coordinated reward farming across accounts, and trades confirmed as invalid or reversed.
Legitimate buys and subsequent sells each count. High trade frequency, a shared IP address, or a shared device alone does not prove abuse. Adjustments require evidence and review; confirmed invalid activity is removed from both scores and pool contributions.

Base rewards and estimated fee bonuses are shown separately below, per person, using current round amounts. Volume rewards are allocated separately in proportion to eligible volume and are excluded from this table.
For example, creators ranked 4th and 5th each receive 10% of the creator ranking pool, or 20% combined.

The top 50 traders with at least 1,000 USDC in round volume can earn both ranking and volume rewards. Creators qualify with 1,000 USDC in eligible round volume generated by other users in their markets.
Market creation is in private beta. Invited creators enter automatically. Approved, live markets qualify regardless of creation date; only eligible trades by other users during the round count.
Rounds follow New York time. Beijing time conversions account for New York daylight saving time. Onchain execution timestamps determine the round; only eligible trades during that round count.
Existing account and regional eligibility rules apply. Internal and test accounts cannot receive rewards. Suspected farming and invalid trades are reviewed before scores are adjusted. A shared IP address or device alone is not grounds for disqualification.
If a wallet is unverified or a payout fails, the amount owed remains recorded and the user is notified. Disputed amounts are reviewed separately so undisputed rewards can be paid on schedule.
