To celebrate the launch of our v4.1 update allowing us to list any tokens atop any AMM, starting with Trader Joe’s JOE and Avalanche’s native AVAX token, we’re giving traders another reason to be excited about our new listings — a trading competition for JOE/USDC. Here’s a quick run down of the prizes and how we calculate the rankings:

The competition starts Thursday, May 26th @ 10:00am PST

Winner tiers based on P&L:

  1. $7k in $AVAX 🥇
  2. $2k in $AVAX 🥈
  3. $1k in $AVAX 🥉

Raffle specifics:

  1. $1k in $AVAX randomly sent to a non-winning registered user who opened a position 🏆

We have POAPs for early registrants, all participants and superlatives, but like the AVAX rewards above, you must be registered in order to be eligible to receive prizes.

How we calculate the rankings:

  • Your score is based on your P&L (Profit and Loss) across the whole competition period.
  • We count how much money you brought in during the competition, and how much money you took out. At the end of the competition, we evaluate your open position, if any, and interpret it as if you have closed and withdrawn the full position value.
  • Your score is basically ‘money out’ / ‘money in’.
  • If you have an open position at the start of the competition, we record the value of this position as if it were closed on the start date and time. This is considered as your initial ‘money in’ value. Otherwise, your initial ‘money in’ value is zero.
  • If you withdraw and then add some money back in later, we do not count those as “new” money. We instead subtract this amount from your ‘money out’, and only add to your ‘money in’ after your ‘money out’ becomes zero.

So, how do you register and get started?
