SCORING, AIRDROP, AND REWARDS

Every funded trader competes on a live, on-chain seasonal leaderboard. Seasons run 30–45 days, and the top of the board collects a slice of the season reward pool on top of the standard 90 / 10 profit-share. Two parallel rankings expose two different answers to the question "who is the best trader this season" — one weighted for discipline, one cumulative for engagement.

#Season Rank — weighted score

The headline ranking. A single weighted score blends four inputs so raw account size doesn't automatically dominate the board:

  • Performance points — realized PnL normalized to the funded tier. A $1,000 gain on a Starter ($5K allocation) carries more weight than a $1,000 gain on Elite ($50K), because percentage return — not dollar return — is what the firm pays for.
  • Risk-adjusted return — return divided by realized peak-to-trough drawdown. A smooth equity curve outranks a volatile one with the same end PnL.
  • Normalized return in basis points — scaled to a common reference so 1-Step and 2-Step traders compete on the same axis without one format gaming the other.
  • Compliance multiplier — a clean book (no rule breaches, no warnings, no anti-pattern flags) holds the multiplier at 1.0. Each warning taxes it down; severe flags can zero the score.

The intent: a passable but messy run loses to a slightly smaller but disciplined run. That mirrors how a real prop desk pays — for risk-adjusted consistency, not for variance.

#Points Rank — cumulative XP

The parallel ranking. A straight cumulative sum of every Dexter Point a wallet earns across the season:

  • Performance points from realized PnL on the funded account.
  • Quest XP — Enlist (+50), Loadout (+100), First Blood (+150), Bounty (+250), Colors (+350), Spoils (+600) — plus the 12 badge unlocks across four rarities and daily streak rewards.
  • Referral XP — the +50 / +100 / +250 / +500 bonus earned per referee that signs up to Starter / Growth / Swing / Elite under your code.

This board rewards traders who compound wins through volume and engagement rather than a single big-print return. Streak alone almost never tops it; combined with a passable equity curve it routinely carries a trader into the top decile.

#Live updates and on-chain proof

Both ranks update near-real-time as fills, settlements, and payouts publish. Your leaderboard row shows current rank, distance to the next slot, and the projected reward share for your current bracket — all recomputed live.

The reward pool — funded by a slice of every pack fee plus a portion of net trading fees — is published live on the leaderboard with entry count and currency (USDC on Base). Beside it sits the Verified Rewards counter: a running on-chain total of every payment hash already settled to a winner, not a marketing figure. Past-season winners are linked to Basescan with the exact payout hash so anyone can independently verify the cash moved.

When the season closes, the top-3 podium goes through a final risk review — position-size hygiene, rule-edge cases, copy-trading detection. The review window is short (typically a few hours) and the season pool releases automatically once it clears, with settlement targeted inside 24 hours of pass.

#Daily streak multiplier

Logging in and placing at least one fill on consecutive UTC days banks streak XP and feeds the Points Rank multiplier. The bonus is small in the first few days and meaningful from day 7 onward, where it also unlocks the "Marathon" rare badge.

Miss a single UTC day and the streak resets to zero — no make-up days, no streak insurance. The mechanic is deliberate: prop trading rewards showing up, not heroic comebacks. The same reset rule applies to the streak's impact on Season Rank's compliance multiplier, so a broken streak only costs XP, never your weighted score.

#How the season pool pays out

The pool is split across the top of the leaderboard in declining brackets. Indicative shape (per-season figures are published in the leaderboard's season info drawer before the season opens):

  • Rank 1 — the single largest slice; typically several months' worth of an Elite-tier passing trader's profit-share.
  • Rank 2–3 — share a sizeable secondary tier on top of standard 90 / 10 profit-share.
  • Rank 4–10 — receive smaller bracketed payouts that still cover several pack-fee multiples for each trader.
  • Rank 11–50 — symbolic cash plus the permanent on-chain "Leaderboard Climber" badge.
  • Top 100 — fee-credit airdrop usable against the next season's pack purchase.

Once the season closes and the podium review clears, payouts settle as USDC on Base directly to the wallet that earned them — typically within minutes of release, inside a published 24-hour target. Every cent is recorded as a payment hash on the public ledger, the same one the Referrals page uses.
