Competitions

Competitions start in Round 2. Round 1 has no leaderboard and no cash prizes. Round 1 builds the user base and the first prize pool.

The Degen Board

The Degen Board is the DexPal global leaderboard. It ranks every trader across every partner DEX.

The board ranks by trading Credits only: the Credits from your own trading and from 2× windows.
Quest and referral Credits do not count toward your rank.
In Round 2, your starting score is your Round 1 trading Credits.
From Round 2, the board resets at the end of each Round, so a new trader can win the next Round.

Round 2 prizes

💵 Cash, top 50

The top 50 share the prize pool in USDC. The curve gives the most to the top ranks, and it pays out the full pool.

💎 Points, top 100

The top 100 get Points from the leaderboard share of the Round. The Points curve has no drop at rank 50.

🎁 Ranks 51 to 100

Giveaways and sponsor prizes go to these ranks. Details TBA

DexPal publishes the exact curves before each Round opens. When two traders tie, DexPal ranks first by the Credits from their own trading, and then by their eligible affiliate revenue. A tie that remains after these checks splits the combined cash of the tied ranks equally.

The prize pool

The pool is the settled affiliate revenue from Rounds 1 and 2, plus the cash that partner DEXs and sponsors actually pay in. A larger pool increases every prize.

A partner DEX that contributes cash also funds a 2× window on its own venue. All of its cash goes into the shared pool.

Cashback, from Round 3

Round 3 adds cashback. Your cashback comes only from the Credits of your own trading.

When you claim, you choose one of two options.

💵 Claim now

You get part of your cashback at once, in USDC.

💎 Take Points

You get no USDC, and you get more DexPal Points instead.

Smaller traders and more active traders get better cashback terms. Your activity, your completed quests and a verified DexPal ID all help. DexPal keeps the exact rates private, so that no one can game them.

Later Rounds

Later Rounds can add leaderboards and prizes for each partner DEX. They can also add new mechanics, such as the Wrecked Fund, a prize draw for liquidated traders.
