Trading Competition Details

Competition Format

Convergers will compete as individuals.

How to join?

You MUST enter with this link, once you have completed all the steps you will be automatically enrolled to this competition. Failure to do so will result in disqualification. You may enter at any point before or during the competition, simply start trading on ConvX AMM on Moonbeam during the competition period to compete.

Scoring System

Trade eligible pairs during the competition to earn trading scores. Scores will be calculated according to activity and volume, where activity is the number of transactions and volume is USD equivalent of all transactions.

Eligible Trading Pairs:
ceWETH/ceWBTC
ceWETH/ceUSDT
ceWETH/CONV
CONV/ceUSDT
ceUSDC/CONV
ceUSDT/ceBUSD
• ceUSDT/ceUSDC

Activity — We will only count the first 20 swaps per day (resets everyday at 8AM UTC). However, you will still be able to trade in a gasless environment after 20 swaps. 1 swap = 100 points, max. 2000 points per day.

Volume — Total USD equivalent of transaction volume (first 20 swaps per day), USD value will be based on the value at the moment of swap. (Bonus points will be given to trading $CONV pairs, volume will be multiplied by 1.1x, routing via CONV will not count)

Score —Your score will be adjusted based on activity and volume according to this formula: Activity + 0.1 * Volume

Score = sum[Activity] + 0.1 * sum[Volume]
sum[Volume] = sum[CONV pair USD value] * 1.1 + sum[noCONV pair USD value]
sum[Activity] = 100 * number of swap

For example:
User swaps $100 in ceUSDT for $CONV, then the same user swaps $100 in ceWETH for $ceWBTC.

Activity = 200 points (100 * 2 swaps)
Volume = 210 (100USD equivalent * 1.1 + 100USD equivalent)
Score = 221 points (200 + 0.1 * 210)

Gasless Trading

Through this trading competition, Convergers will get a taste of gasless trading on Moonbeam. However, since the Convergence X Biconomy relayer is a separate contract, Convergers will need to have some GLMR ready to approve the token you wish to swap for.

The team will be extending gasless features for Convergers to not just trading but also ConvO subscriptions in the future!

Trading Flow

  1. Select a pair of assets you would like to swap on ConvX on Moonbeam Network
  2. Enter amount you would like to swap
  3. Click ‘Swap Now’
  4. Click ‘Confirm’ button to approve the token you are swapping with and pay gas in GLMR to interact with the Biconomy gasless trading relayer contract, you will only need to do this once for each token you are trying to swap. (If you have already approved the token, skip to step 5)
  5. Scroll to the sign message at the bottom, click the arrow next to the ‘Message’, then click ‘Sign’ button to continue the gasless swap.
  6. Voila, you have just completed a gasless transaction!
Step 5: Click the arrow then click ‘Sign’ to continue the swap

For example: If you wish to swap $ceUSDT for $CONV in a gasless environment, you will first need to approve $ceUSDT with GLMR as gas fees. If you wish to swap back $CONV for $ceUSDT, you will again need to approve $CONV with GLMR as gas fees. After this, you will enjoy gasless trading between these two assets without having to approve again.
