Learn how to join KriptoK League, qualify for each round, earn season points and compete for a total prize pool of $26,000.
KriptoK League is a perpetuals trading competition inside KriptoK where performance matters more than account size. Traders are ranked by percentage return (ROI), not trading volume or starting balance.
The first season consists of six two-week rounds. A total of $12,000 is distributed across the rounds, while the top three traders in the final season standings share an additional $14,000. That brings the total prize pool to $26,000.
This guide explains how to enter a round, how ROI and season points work, what can cause disqualification and when prizes are paid.
You can join at any point while a round is live. There is no separate registration form and depositing funds alone does not activate your entry.
Your entry begins when an order placed through KriptoK receives a fill while your total perps account equity is at least $200. This activating order counts as the first of the two filled orders required to qualify.
Multiple partial fills from the same order count as one order. Orders placed outside KriptoK, orders that never receive a fill and orders completed before activation do not count toward qualification.
Only the equity held in your perps account counts toward the $200 minimum. Funds held elsewhere in your KriptoK wallet do not count.
You must have at least $200 in perps account equity when your first qualifying KriptoK order receives a fill. If trading losses later reduce your equity below $200, you are not disqualified and remain ranked.
Every withdrawal made during the round must leave at least $200 in your perps account. If a withdrawal reduces your remaining equity below $200, you will be disqualified from the current round.
You may withdraw profits without reducing the ROI already earned, provided at least $200 remains in the perps account after the withdrawal.
KriptoK League ranks qualified traders by percentage return rather than volume, position size or absolute profit. This gives accounts of different sizes a more comparable performance measure.
Your ROI reflects trading performance relative to the capital added to the round:
You do not need to close an existing position before entering or before the round ends. Any PnL already present when you activate is included in your starting equity, and only subsequent changes affect that round's ROI. Open positions are included in the final equity snapshot.
The top five qualified traders share $2,000 in USDC every round:
ROI and qualifying-order counts reset at the beginning of every new round, so every two-week period creates a fresh opportunity to compete for a round prize.
Qualified traders also earn points toward the three-month season standings. Points from all six rounds are added together.
A strong result can win a single round, but the season standings reward consistent performance across multiple rounds.
At the end of the sixth round, the three traders with the highest total season points share the $14,000 season prize pool:
Only qualified traders are eligible for round prizes and season points. A live leaderboard position remains provisional until verification is complete.
Every round starts fresh. Your ROI and qualifying-order count reset, and previous-round deposits and withdrawals no longer affect the new round.
Existing positions may remain open, but you must activate again by placing a KriptoK order that receives a fill while your total perps account equity is at least $200. Any unrealized PnL already present at activation becomes part of the new starting equity.
Participants must be at least 18 years old, legally able to participate and located in a jurisdiction where participation and perpetual futures trading are permitted. Sanctions, regional restrictions and other legal requirements may apply.
Multiple or coordinated accounts, wash trading, self-dealing, artificial activity, exploitation of bugs or data delays, false information and attempts to bypass legal or technical restrictions may result in disqualification, removal of results, withheld prizes or restrictions on future participation.
There is no separate entry fee charged solely to enter KriptoK League. Normal trading costs, including fees, funding, spreads and slippage, still apply.
Perpetual futures and leveraged trading involve substantial risk. Leverage can amplify gains and losses, and liquidation may result in the loss of some or all funds allocated to the perps account. Participation in the League does not reduce these risks.
Open the KriptoK app, fund your perps account and place your qualifying orders to enter the current round.
