Three ways to earn, running all season. The same eligible volume counts everywhere at once: your leaderboard rank, your Crate milestones, and your campaign progress.
Traders are ranked by PnL and by Volume, each week and across the season. Four prize pools pay out: Weekly PnL, Weekly Volume, Season PnL, and Season Volume.
Your total eligible volume counts towards three milestones: Starter, Silver, and Gold. Reach a milestone and you earn that Crate.
How Crates work| Crate | Validated volume |
|---|---|
| Starter | $10K |
| Silver | $50K |
| Gold | $250K |
Frontier Traders hosts a trading campaign each week. Campaigns can run with partners, feature partner venues across Solana, or focus on specific assets. Campaign volume also counts towards your leaderboard rank and your Crate milestones.
You are ranked by PnL and by Volume over two timeframes: each week, and the full season. That makes four prize pools.
$100Ktotal seasonal prize pools
Each leaderboard rewards 50 traders, from $10,000 for first place to $400 each for places 31 to 50.
$20Ktotal prize pools each week
Each leaderboard rewards 10 traders, with $3,000 for first place. Rankings reset every week.
Final results are validated before any prize is confirmed.
Check each round’s published eligibility and timing before you enter. All leaderboard prizes go through the validation, KYC, and anti-abuse checks described below.
Eight finalists compete in London for the first Frontier World Champion title. There are three ways to qualify.
Eight traders per stop compete live for a dedicated prize pool. One winner each from Serbia, Korea, and Singapore takes a London seat.
One finalist selected by Frontier, plus two seats through new season tracks. Details to be announced.
Live events run a first-of-its-kind perpetual futures paper trading game, built on Phoenix’s onchain orderbook to simulate real-world markets. Each event features multiple game modes with varying leverage and hot-market multipliers.

Prize disclosure: The Grand Prize is awarded to the verified winner, at their election, as either US$250,000 in a US dollar stablecoin or one Porsche 911 GT3 RS, under the official competition rules. It is one prize only, with no combination and no cash payment of any difference in value, and the election is final once made. Where the vehicle cannot lawfully or practicably be sourced or delivered, the winner receives the cash prize in full. See the Campaign Terms.
Leaderboard payouts are separate from Grand Final qualification. Finalist places are subject to validated results, eligibility, KYC, and competition rules.
Crates reward trading volume. Your total eligible volume for the season counts towards three milestones: Starter, Silver, and Gold. Reach a milestone, earn that Crate. You can earn all three.
It is all one total: volume from campaigns and leaderboard trading counts too. Your dashboard tracks your volume, milestone progress, and Crate history.
| Tier | Unlock | Reward range |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $10K validated volume | $2 to $20 |
| Silver | $50K validated volume | $10 to $100 |
| Gold | $250K validated volume | $20 to $2,000 |
The reward inside a Crate is set when validation completes. Opening the Crate reveals it. Opening sooner or later changes nothing.
Frontier Traders hosts a trading campaign each week. A campaign can run with a partner, feature partner venues across Solana, or focus on specific assets. Past partner campaigns include Sunrise, Solflare, and DoubleZero.
Open the week’s campaign for its eligibility, window, and rewards. Complete the requirement and the activity moves to review.
Eligible volume traded during a campaign also counts towards your Global Leaderboard rank and your Crate milestones. Nothing is wasted.
Every reward is reviewed before it can be opened or paid. The process has three steps.
Your eligible volume or activity is checked against the requirements for that reward path.
Identity, KYC, and anti-abuse checks must pass before a reward can be opened or paid.
Once validation completes, the reward is allocated and your dashboard shows the next step and expected timing.
Each crate card on your dashboard shows where it stands. Here’s what the labels mean, in the order a crate moves through them.
You are still trading toward the milestone. Keep going; every eligible trade counts.
You hit the milestone. Torque issues the crate on its next run, so it may take a little while to appear. No action needed.
The crate is yours. Open it to reveal your reward.
The crate is open and your reward is revealed. Verify your identity before it can be claimed.
You started verification and it has not been approved yet. You can pick it up again from the card.
Verification was refused, so the reward cannot be claimed.
You are verified. Sign the claim transaction before the claim window closes.
The crate is open and you are verified, but the claim window has not started yet.
The claim window closed with the reward unclaimed. It can no longer be claimed.
The claim transaction landed. The reward is in your wallet and nothing further is needed.
The crate's window closed before its milestone was reached.
Leaderboard and campaign payouts are announced with each round’s results and go through the same validation and KYC checks. They do not yet show a status card on the dashboard.
Your dashboard shows your milestones, campaign activity, reward statuses, and full Crate history.
