The Velocity Trading Challenge runs for 14 days, from 5 November to 19 November 2026. The three traders with the highest taker volume split a 6,000 USDT prize pool.
Trade on Velocity during the challenge window and your wallet appears on the live leaderboard. Here's how it works.
Prizes and key dates
The leaderboard updates at least once an hour during the challenge.
How volume is counted
- Taker volume only: maker fills don’t count toward leaderboard volume.
- All markets: every Velocity market counts equally.
- Subaccounts are combined: taker volume from all subaccounts under the same wallet is added together.
- Window: only trades between 5 Nov 12:00 UTC and 19 Nov 12:00 UTC count.
Disqualification
- Wash trading: volume from self-matching or wash trading doesn't count, and the wallet may be disqualified.
- Price manipulation: wallets that show signs of moving the market or manipulating the oracle price may be disqualified.
