Intro

Hey everyone,

MUX was honored to be one of the Arbitrum DAO airdrop recipients, and the airdrop emblems MUX’s contribution and dedication to the ecosystem.

Based on community suggestions, MUX plans to utilize the airdropped $ARB in various campaigns to onboard more traders and help boost ecosystem growth as the first leveraged trading aggregator.

We are very thrilled to announce the Arb Chad Trading Contest! The total prize pool will be $100K (50% in $MUX, 50% in $ARB), and traders can participate in the competition by opening MUX, GMX and Gains positions using the MUX Leveraged Trading Aggregator.

What Markets / Pairs are Eligible for the Trading Contest?

Over 90 markets/pairs offered by MUX, GMX and Gains are all eligible for the trading contest if the position is opened through the MUX Leveraged Trading Aggregator.

About the Rewards

As an honorable recipient of the Arbitrum DAO airdrop, MUX will thoughtfully utilize the airdrop to boost ecosystem and protocol growth. However, to avoid creating unnecessary pressure for $ARB, the portion of $ARB incentives allocated for each campaign should be relatively conservative. The unused $ARB airdrop tokens will remain reserved unless further discussions and proposals occur in the community.

The $MUX token rewards come from campaign reservations and can be reimbursed by the previously-approved marketing budget. The $MUX rewards won’t dilute the total supply.

Have fun trading, Arb Chads! 💪🔥
