Prize Breakdown
The top 10 traders share a total prize pool of $10,000 USD:Leaderboard & Scoring
The leaderboard ranks traders using a weighted scoring formula that rewards consistent, active trading, not just raw PnL. Each metric is normalized across all traders before being weighted, so scores are comparable regardless of absolute values. Step 1 — Normalize each metric (0–100):tradeCount → normTrades and activeDays → normDays.
Step 2 — Base score:
Step 3 — SNEK boost (eligible addresses with SNEK period PnL only):
snekPnl is scoped to the SNEK event window (Apr 7–13) only. For non-eligible addresses, finalScore = baseScore. See the SNEK Boosted Contest for full details.
This means the most active and consistent traders have the best chance of climbing the leaderboard, even without the highest PnL percentage.
The scoring formula is subject to change based on community feedback to ensure fair and competitive gameplay.
