Core Mechanism: Dual Weighting Amplifies Trading Strength
This event’s standout feature is its dual weighting system—“time + activity”—which amplifies trading volume beyond simple accumulation.
Final valid trading volume is calculated as follows:
Final valid trading volume = (Daily trading volume × Time coefficient) × Accumulated days coefficient
Time Coefficient: Early Participation Offers Greater Advantage
The event is divided into several stages, rewarding earlier trades with higher weighting:
-
Days 1–3: 1.5x
-
Days 4–7: 1.2x
-
Days 8–10: 1.1x
-
After Day 10: 1.0x
This structure encourages users to start trading early for a higher weighted advantage.
Trading continuity also impacts final results:
This mechanism rewards users who participate consistently with greater bonuses.
Reward Distribution: Split by Contribution Percentage
Final rewards are allocated based on each participant’s percentage of valid trading volume:
Individual reward = (Individual valid trading volume ÷ Total valid trading volume) × $50,000 USDT
There is a maximum reward per account:
- Each user may receive up to $500 USDT.
Additionally, users must reach VIP 5 or above by the end of the event to qualify for prize pool distribution.
