How tradeup works

Trade the real Solana trenches with paper SOL. Every 15 minutes the ten best players split a share of the creator fees in real SOL.

  1. Step 1

    Pick a token in the trenches

    New pairs, tokens in the final stretch of the bonding curve, and fresh graduates. Every price, chart and on-chain trade is real and live.

  2. Step 2

    Trade it with paper SOL

    Each round you start with 10 paper SOL. Buys and sells fill at the live price, with the pool fee and the price impact your size would have on chain. Your trades show up on the chart for every other player.

  3. Step 3

    Finish the round in the top ten

    Rounds last 15 minutes and start at :00, :15, :30 and :45. When the clock hits zero, open positions are valued at what they would sell for right then, and the board is frozen.

  4. Step 4

    Get paid in real SOL

    At the end of the round the creator fees are claimed, and 20% of that claim is split among the ten best players with a profit. The payout is one public transaction, linked on the leaderboard.

Questions

Do I need a wallet to play?
No. Your first trade makes you a guest and you can play every round. Guests are ranked but never win prizes.
Who can win?
Any connected wallet that finishes in profit. Connecting only asks you to sign a message; it never sends a transaction.
What happens to prize places nobody qualifies for?
Their share is not paid out. The pot is always at most 20% of what was just claimed; nothing carries over.
Can I lose real money?
No. You only ever trade paper SOL. Prizes are the only real SOL, and they are paid to you.
Do positions carry over?
No. Every round starts from the same fresh 10 paper SOL, so a late joiner has the same chance as everyone else.
