How to Play
Trade, lend, and compete to lead your crew to victory in the $100,000 Cosmos Trading Competition!
Step 1: Join Your Preferred Crew
To join the competition, you first need to connect to Demex using your favourite wallet, such as Leap.
Next, go to the Cosmos Trading Competition, then join your preferred crew! You can only register with one crew per account for the entire competition.
If you want to join another crew after you have registered with one, you can use another account to join. Also, make sure to secure your spot as crews are limited to the first 500 participants!
Step 2: Lend and Collateralize Your Crew's Asset to Pledge Alliance
Pledge your allegiance to your chosen crew by lending their asset on Nitron and be eligible for rewards.
To use Nitron, you must first deposit the asset into Demex (Carbon network), then you can lend and collateralize it to complete your registration.
Note: After depositing your asset into Demex, it sits on your wallet balance in Demex, and you have to then go to Nitron to lend it.

Leaderboard Structure
The Cosmos Trading Competition features two types of leaderboards:
Crew Leaderboard: Crews compete against each other based on their total trading volume. The main Crew leaderboard will sum up the points of all crew members in real-time.
Individual Leaderboard: Participants within each crew compete against each other based on trading volume. Individual leaderboards will show the standings and points of each particular crew.
Prize Pool
The prize pool amount will be determined by the total volume on Demex with various milestones. The total trading volume includes traders who are not registered.
| Volume Milestone (Demex Total Volume) | Prize Pool ($USDC) |
|---|---|
<300M | $5,000 |
300M-400M | $20,000 |
400M-500M | $50,000 |
>500M | $100,000 |
The prize can be in $USDC or your token (TWAP market buy), your crew can vote on this. The prize will be distributed to your wallet balance on Demex.
Prize Distribution
The prize you will receive is first determined by your crew's performance.
The distribution is as follows:
Half of the prize pool will be distributed to crews based on the fixed tier table below.
The remaining half will be distributed to the crews based on their pro-rated volume.
Once the crew's prize is determined, the prize is allocated to individuals of the crew on a pro-rated manner based on their individual leaderboard rankings.
Fixed Tiers for Prizes

FAQs
How do I begin trading on Demex?
Demex requires USDⒼ as margin for perpetual trading. USDⒼ is effectively USDC, it is backed 1:1 by USDC from multiple networks (Osmosis, Ethereum, Noble, Arbitrum, etc).
Follow these steps to deposit USDC onto Demex and start your trading journey:
Hold any supported USDC stablecoins within the USDⒼ basket. Check its constituents here.
Navigate to Demex's deposit page, connect your preferred wallet and deposit the USDC.
The USDC will be auto-converted at a 1:1 ratio to USDⒼ, and you can also withdraw USDⒼ to any of the supported stablecoins at any time. Congratulations! You are now ready to trade.
How do I earn points? For every 1 USD of trading volume (including leverage) you earn 1 point.
Can I join another crew after registering? No, you can only register for one crew per Demex account for your participation throughout the competition.
What if I open a position before the event starts? Only positions opened and closed during the event duration will be counted for your points on the leaderboard, as long as you have successfully registered.
What if I trade before registering? Your trades before registering will not be counted. Please complete your registration before trading to be counted in the Leaderboard.
What if I did not lend the required assets on Nitron, or unlend them before the end of the competition? You will not be eligible for the prize pool.
How is the prize pool distributed? The prize pool distribution depends on the cumulative trading volume reached during the competition. Prizes will be distributed across the top 9 crews on the leaderboard, and then within each crew based on individual rankings.
