Frontier Traders Season One: $1M+ in rewards and one world champion
Trade perpetuals to compete for a share of the $1,000,000 prize pool, a Porsche GT3 RS, and a chance to be crowned the Frontier Traders World Champion at Solana Breakpoint in London.
Season 1 Campaign:
Participating in Season 1 is easy, simply create a Frontier Traders account and trade perps on Phoenix or Solflare. Your volume moves you up the Global Leaderboard, builds towards unlocking Reward Crates and also counts in weekly perpetuals trading campaigns. All your perpetual trading counts towards your Season 1 activity.
The Global Leaderboard
You're ranked in two ways, by PnL and by volume, across two timeframes, weekly and full season. That gives you four prize pools in total.
The two season-long leaderboards offer a $50,000 prize pool each and pay the top 50 finishers, with $10,000 going to first place.
The weekly leaderboards offer a $10,000 prize each and pay the top 10, and they reset completely at the start of every week,
That means $20,000 is up for grabs every single week, while the season races play out over the full eight.
Trading Crates
Your total eligible volume for the season unlocks three milestones:
Trade at least 10,000 in volume to unlock a Starter Crate
Trade at least 50,000 in volume to unlock a Silver Crate
Trade at least 250,000 in volume to unlock a Gold Crate
You can earn all three over the course of the season and additional crate milestones may be added.
Volume is tracked as one running total, so everything you trade for the leaderboards and campaigns feeds your Crate progress automatically. What's inside each Crate gets locked in when your volume validates, not when you open it, so you can crack them whenever you like without changing the outcome.
Weekly Campaigns
On top of the season 1, there're new trading campaigns every week.
Some run with partners, as previous ones have with Sunrise, Solflare and DoubleZero, while others spotlight venues across Solana or focus on specific assets. Each campaign publishes its own rewards, entry rules and dates. For weekly campaigns on perpetual markets, everything you trade in them counts towards your leaderboard position and Crate totals as well.
The Road to London
The season ends at the Grand Final in London on 14 November, staged just before Breakpoint. Eight finalists competed for the title of Frontier World Champion and their choice of a Porsche 911 GT3 RS or a cash prize of US$250,000.
There are three ways to qualify.
The first is through live events in Serbia, Korea and Singapore, each built around a perps paper trading game running on Phoenix's onchain orderbook to recreate real market conditions, with multiple game modes offering different leverage and hot-market multipliers. Eight traders compete at each stop for a dedicated prize pool, and every winner books a seat in London.
The second route is the seasonal leaderboards, which send both the top PnL trader and the season's volume champion to the final.
The third covers everything else: one Frontier Wildcard picked by us, plus two more seats awarded through new season tracks that will be announced as the season goes on.
Season 1 runs until 7 November. You can track your rank, milestone progress, campaign activity and rewards from your dashboard at https://frontiertraders.com/seasons/s1
