Enter Program

The Weekly Trading Leagues are back with a refreshed pilot program designed to reward dYdX traders.

Launching November 1, this four-week contest will allocate up to $250,000 in DYDX per week, with multiple tiers of prize pools unlocked based on total weekly volume. This initiative underscores dYdX’s commitment to community-driven incentives and a dynamic trading ecosystem.

How the Leagues Work

Starting November 1 and running for four consecutive weeks, each Weekly Trading League functions as its own self-contained contest, trade once during a week and you’re automatically eligible, no separate registration required. The prize pool for each week depends on total trading volume on front-end venues by non-API traders:

  • Under $550 M volume → $100,000 pool
  • $550 M-$700 M volume → $175,000 pool
  • Over $700 M volume → $250,000 pool  
  • Eligible venues include the dYdX web, iOS and Android apps, plus supported front-ends such as Pocket Pro and the Crypto.com Onchain Wallet.  
  • Rewards are distributed each week according to a tiered structure: top traders by PnL, middle placements, and even the bottom performing traders (lowest PnL) qualify for prizes.  
  • No registration is required; placing at least one qualifying trade during the week is sufficient for automatic entry.

If the pilot proves successful, the community could decide to extend or scale the model, potentially transforming weekly leagues into a standing feature of the dYdX experience. Either way, this initiative shows that the community is working hard to make dYdX the most attractive venue for traders.
