Introducing the dYdX Weekly Challenge Series: $40,000 Prize Pool

Challenge period: July 21, 2025, 12:00 UTC - August 17, 2025, 23:59 UTC.

dYdX is excited to announce the launch of the dYdX Weekly Challenge Series - a 4-week campaign designed to reward new users for exploring, engaging with, and trading on the dYdX platform.

Whether you're new to dYdX or just want to join in the trading fun, this challenge series gives you the opportunity to win a share of $40,000 in rewards, simply by showing up, completing weekly challenges, and being a part of the dYdX mission.

Challenge Overview

  • Duration: 4 weeks
  • Total Reward Pool: $40,000
  • Winners: 25 per week (100 total)
  • Prize Per Winner: $400 USDC

Each week features a new challenge designed to help you get comfortable with core features of the dYdX platform.

How It Works

To qualify for rewards, participants must:

1. Complete the weekly challenge listed on the challenge page

2. Share proof of completion on Twitter using #dYdXWeeklyChallenge

3. Fill out the short submission form linked with each challenge

Note: Each participant must generate at least $5,000 in total trading volume on dYdX across their account to be eligible for rewards. This can be done with or without leverage (e.g. opening a 500 USDC position with 5x leverage, and then closing it would qualify as volume is counted twice - once when the order is placed, and once when it's closed).

Each week, 25 winners will be selected based on a random selection mechanism and announced on the official @dYdX Twitter within 7 days of each challenge end date.

Weekly Challenge Breakdown

  • Week 1: Challenge 1 (July 21, 12:00 UTC - July 27, 23:59 UTC)
  • Week 2: Challenge 2 (July 28, 12:00 UTC - August 3, 23:59 UTC)
  • Week 3: Challenge 3 (August 4, 12:00 UTC - August 10, 23:59 UTC)
  • Week 4: Challenge 4 (August 11, 12:00 UTC - August 17, 23:59 UTC)

Each new challenge will go live at 12:00 UTC the day after the previous challenge ends.

Please note: once a challenge period closes, it will no longer be active and the next task will only be revealed on the challenge page at its official start time.
