Competitions
Trade for prizes. Everyone starts and finishes together, ranked by dollar PnL.
AlfaClub runs trading competitions. Everyone shares one start and one close, and entrants rank by how many dollars they made in between.
Dates
A competition starts and ends at 00:00 UTC. Its page shows the dates, the prizes and the live standings.
Who can enter
- Entry is free. Join on the competition page by accepting these rules.
- You can join any time before the close. Everything you trade from the start counts, whenever you join.
- Any active AlfaClub account can enter, except AlfaClub's team accounts.
What counts
- Spot tokens you trade in AlfaClub, on Robinhood Chain, Base, Arbitrum, Ethereum and Solana.
- Room tokens, including your own room's token.
- Tokens you held before the start count from their value at the start.
Room keys, ETH, SOL, stablecoins, and tokens you've never traded in AlfaClub don't count.
Scoring
Your score is your total dollar PnL between the start and the close, made and unrealized:
value at the close + sold during − value at the start − bought during
- Value is what you hold times the token's price at that moment. Every entrant gets the same price.
- Bought and sold are the dollars you paid and received in AlfaClub trades, after fees.
- Tokens that arrive or leave outside AlfaClub never add to your score. Tokens that arrive count at the higher of the start and close prices, and tokens that leave count at the lower.
| Example | Amount |
|---|---|
| Held at the close: 70 at $11 | +$770 |
| Sold 80 during | +$1,200 |
| Held at the start: 100 at $10 | −$1,000 |
| Bought 50 during | −$600 |
| Score | $370 |
Prizes
Prizes are paid in USDG.
| Place | Prize |
|---|---|
| 1st | Trader prize, plus a share for your room's keyholders |
| 2nd | Trader prize |
| 3rd | Trader prize |
- You need a score above $0 to win. A place without one isn't paid.
- Entrants with exactly the same score share the prizes for the places they cover.
- Trader prizes go to your AlfaClub wallet on Robinhood Chain.
- The keyholder share goes to the keys earning in the winner's room when it's paid, the creator's keys included. Keyholders claim it from Dashboard → Earnings. It isn't paid if the winner has no room opened before the close, or if no keys are earning yet.
- Prizes are paid once the results are final.
Standings
The competition page refreshes the standings every few minutes while the competition runs. They're an estimate: final scores use prices and balances captured at the close.
Results
- Final scores settle 2 hours after the close. Winners are then reviewed for 72 hours.
- AlfaClub can disqualify an entrant for manipulating their score, for example by wash trading. Everyone below moves up a place.
- Results are final once published.
