How DEX Trading Competitions Work
A plain-English guide to DEX trading competitions: how you register with a wallet, how volume is tracked, and how rewards are calculated and paid.
A DEX trading competition is a reward campaign where traders compete by trading on a decentralized or perp DEX venue during a fixed period. Rewards are distributed according to published rules — usually trading volume, leaderboard rank, or qualifying thresholds.
Registering with a wallet
Competitions are wallet-first. You connect a wallet, register for the campaign, and trade the eligible markets on the supported venue. There is no need to hand custody of funds to the platform — trading happens directly on the venue.
How volume and points are tracked
During the campaign, the platform tracks eligible volume for each registered trader using the venue's data. That volume is converted into points, and a leaderboard ranks participants in near real time so you can see where you stand.
How rewards are calculated
- Leaderboard: top ranks split a prize pool by position.
- Pro rata: rewards scale with each trader's share of total eligible volume.
- Thresholds: hit a qualifying volume or trade count to unlock a fixed reward.
- Lottery: qualifying activity earns tickets toward a draw.
Each competition page shows the prize pool, duration, eligibility rules, and reward structure up front. Browse live DEX trading competitions, or read the FAQ for how rewards are calculated and paid.
