ZKEX Trading Competition #1: ZK-Frens Only
Our first-ever community day trading competition is a fun opportunity to try ZKEX’s Testnet 2.0! Try to make the biggest profits by following the news, using leveraged tokens, altcoins, and quirky meme tokens.
Community members with the rank of ‘ZK-Fren’ on Crew3 can join our first day trading competition which starts for a week from Monday 3 April at 12 pm SGT (Singapore time).
The winners will be the traders with the highest PnL % and trading volume by the end of the competition.
How it works
How can I join?
All ZK-Frens on Crew3 will be whitelisted on Monday 3 April at 9am SGT, and will be eligible to join the competition. If you gain the ZK-Fren role after this time, you cannot join the competition.
What shall I do before the competition starts?
Please complete the first special Crew3 quest to gain +50 points (to retweet the competition announcement). This will also make you eligible for the special OAT giveaway to prove you took part.
Where does it take place?
The competition takes place on our special trading arena. The URL will be released on Twitter a few hours before the start time.
At the start time, we will clear all balances and users will be able to claim any of the following demo tokens each day:
- 10,000 USD
- 5 ETH
- 0.5 BTC
- 4000 MATIC
- 400 AVAX
The deposit, token transfer, and withdrawal functions will be disabled during the competition.
Which tokens are tradeable?

- BTC
- BTC5L (Long 5x)
- BTC5S (Short 5x)
- AVAX

Note on leveraged tokens:
- As an example of a Long 3x, if the base asset price goes up 1%, the net worth of the leveraged asset will rise by 3%.
- As an example of a Short 5x, if the base asset price goes down 1%, the net worth of the leveraged asset will decrease by 5%.
What should I do every day during the competition?
- Focus on making the biggest percentage profit each day.
- Keep an eye on the #zk-fren channel on Discord — we’ll drop some hints, tips, and surprises and about Fox Inu!
- Make sure you claim some extra tokens each day if you need them.
- Share your progress on your social media! You can download a badge showing your latest profits from the leaderboard.
How is the leaderboard calculated?
The leaderboard will be updated every 5–10 minutes and each trader will be ranked according to a simple formula:
Ranking = Profit (90% weighting) + Trading volume (10% weighting)
This is calculated as:
Ranking = a *(1/ PnL rank) + b * (1/ VOL rank)
where a = 0.9, and b = 0.1
Dollar PnL = (total assets value at end) — (total asset value at beginning)
% PnL = (Dollar PnL) / (total asset value at beginning) * 100
Note: tokens that are initially claimed from the faucet are not included in the %PnL calculation. You must trade to get profits counted on the leaderboard.
