1. What is Algo Arena?

Algo Arena is a weekly volume based trading competition on dreamDEX.

For 8 weeks, traders compete by trading spot pairs on dreamDEX. Each week has its own leaderboard, its own winners, and its own prize distribution.

The competition is not only about who has the biggest wallet. Your weekly rank is based on a score that combines:

• How much you trade.
• Whether you trade boosted pairs.
• Whether you complete weekly challenges.

The goal is simple:

Register. Trade. Earn points. Climb the leaderboard.

For Algo Arena, dreamDEX is the trading venue. Your eligible trades on dreamDEX count toward your weekly competition score.

4. How the weekly leaderboard works

Algo Arena uses a weekly leaderboard.

Each week:

• The leaderboard opens on Monday at 00:00 UTC.
• Traders build score during the week.
• The week closes on Sunday at 23:59 UTC.
• The leaderboard is locked after the weekly snapshot.
• Winners are announced the following Monday.
• Prizes are distributed the following Wednesday.

Every week is a fresh round. If you miss one week, you can still compete in the next one.

5. How your score is calculated

Your leaderboard rank is based on your weekly score.

Score = Trading Volume × Pair Boost × Challenges

This means your score can increase through three main routes:

• Trading volume - how much you trade during the week.
• Pair Boosts - multipliers applied to selected trading pairs.
• Challenges - extra ways to earn points or trading volume credit.

This structure is designed so Algo Arena is not only a raw volume race. Trading more helps, but trading the right pairs and completing challenges can also matter.

Example

If a trader generates eligible weekly trading volume and uses a boosted pair, that trader’s score may be multiplied by the Pair Boost for that pair.

If that trader also completes a weekly challenge, the challenge may add extra points or trading volume credit depending on the rules announced for that week.

6. Trading volume

Trading volume is your total eligible spot trading volume for the week.

Each weekly volume window runs from:

Monday 00:00 UTC - Sunday 23:59 UTC

Your weekly trading volume is one of the main inputs into your score.

7. Pair Boosts

Pair Boosts are weekly multipliers applied to selected trading pairs.

Some pairs may receive a boost of 1.2x–1.5x during a given week. Trading boosted pairs can increase your score compared with trading non-boosted pairs.

Pair Boosts help guide activity to specific markets and give traders more strategic choices each week.

8. Challenges

Challenges are extra tasks or objectives announced during the competition.

They may give traders additional points or trading volume credit for completing specific actions. Challenges are designed to keep the competition fresh and give traders more ways to climb the leaderboard.

Because challenges may change week to week, traders should follow announcements closely.

9. Weekly raffles

Algo Arena also includes weekly raffles.

The raffle is designed so traders outside the top 10 still have a chance to win.

Each week:

• Traders earn 1 raffle ticket for every $2,500 traded.
• Raffle tickets are capped at 100 tickets per wallet.
• Five raffle winners share $250 USDso.

10. Weekly competition schedule

Algo Arena follows the same weekly rhythm throughout the competition.

This weekly rhythm gives traders a clear cycle: trade during the week, check results on Monday, and receive prizes on Wednesday if they win.

11. Fair play rules

dreamDEX is committed to keeping Algo Arena fair for real traders.

The following behavior is not allowed:

• Wash trading.
• Self-dealing.
