Late Entry Policy

• Open Slots: If the 500-user cap is not reached by Feb 11, registration will remain open during the Live phase.
• Note: Users registering after the tournament starts (Feb 11) will NOT receive the Pre-Reg Bonus (extra $50 Demo Cash). You will start with the standard base amount only.

3. Mission Board

This is your home base.

• Your Dashboard: Track the "Current Traders" count to see how fast the spots are filling up.
• Quick Actions: Use the links here to jump to "Trade," "Pre-deposit," or "View Bonus Tasks."

4. Fund Mechanics (Real vs. Demo)

Account Types (Crucial Definition) Before you start, understand the two distinct wallets in your profile:

• Demo Account: This wallet holds your Demo Cash. Any profit or loss (PnL) generated here is recorded for the tournament and directly determines your final Ranking.
• Real Account: This wallet holds your deposited Real Token. Funds deposited here are locked immediately upon entry and cannot be withdrawn until the Beta Test phase.
  • Important: Trading PnL from your Demo Account does NOT affect your Real Account balance. Your principal is safe from trading risks during the tournament.

Crucial to distinguish between the two types of funds in your account as well.

A. Demo Cash (Virtual)

• Definition: Virtual funds used only for trading in the tournament. Cannot be withdrawn.
• How to get it:
  • System Gift: $50 (Base) + $50 (Twitter Verify/Invite Code Verify).
  • Invite Bonus: +$20 per friend.
  • Deposit Bonus: 5x multiplier from Real Token deposits.

B. Real Token (Your Assets)

Deposit Token to receive 5x bonus demo cash

Choose supported token to deposit

• Pre-Deposit Function: You can choose to deposit Real Token to boost your trading power.
• The Rule: For every $1 Real Token you deposit, the system gives you $5 Demo Cash.
  • Minimum: $10 Real Token.
  • Maximum: $500 Real Token.
• Asset Lock: The Real Token you deposit is locked during the Alpha Tournament. It will automatically transfer to your mainnet account after the Beta launch, where it becomes fully withdrawable/tradable.

Trading Specs

• Assets: BTC, ETH, SOL, XRM, PYTH, LAYER, Gold, Silver.
• Data Source: Real-time on-chain pricing powered by Pyth Network.

5. Deposit & Withdrawal Guide

We have integrated a next-gen aggregator to make funding your account seamless. You can pay with almost any token, and it will automatically settle as Demo Cash in your demo account.

A. Deposit Crypto (Multi-Chain)

• The Magic: You don't need to hold USDC to start. Send any supported token (ETH, SOL, BNB, etc.) on any supported chain, and our system will auto-swap it to Demo Cash.
• How to:
  1. Go to Deposit -> Crypto.
  2. Select the token you want to send (e.g., ETH) and the network (e.g., BASE).
  3. Scan the QR code or copy the address.
  4. Requirement: Ensure your deposit value is ≥ $10.

B. Withdrawal (Post-Beta)

• Status: The withdrawal function for your principal (Real Token) will open after the Beta Mainnet Launch.
• Mechanism: When unlocked, you can withdraw your Real Token to any supported external wallet. The system supports Cross-Chain Withdrawal (e.g., withdraw Real Token directly to a Solana or Polygon address), handling the bridging automatically.

6. Referral System

Verify your X account.

Check the Progress in Referral System and go claim your reward.

To prevent spam, the invite function is locked by default.

• Unlock: Complete the Twitter Binding task first.
• Usage: You will receive 1 unique link/code (Valid for 10 uses).
• Reward: You earn $20 Demo Cash only when your invitee completes Registration + First Trade.
• Tracking: Use the "Invite Records" table to check status (Pending vs. Paid).

7. Leaderboard & Ranking

The leaderboard tracks performance from the start of the tournament and determines the allocation of the cash prizes.

• Metric: Participants are ranked based on total PnL (Profit and Loss) in Demo Cash.
• Visibility: The public board strictly displays only the Top 10 traders.
  • Note: You could check PNL of yourself to confirm current position.
• Frequency: The leaderboard updates in quasi-real-time (approx. every 1 minute).
• Snapshot: The final ranking is locked precisely at Feb 15, 10:00 AM (UTC).

8. Daily Lucky Drop

Apart from the main ranking, there is a daily lucky draw from Pre-Registration to tournament live.

• Requirement: Complete 2 valid trades within the day and click bottom to join the drop for today’s round(UTC time).
