Introduction

We are excited to announce the official launch of the Pocket Pro Competition Leaderboard, now live at https://pp.dydxarena.com/. This new platform provides a real-time, transparent view into the ongoing $100,000 Pocket Pro Trading Competition, allowing participants and spectators to track squad and individual performance as the action unfolds.

Pocket Pro, the powerful trading bot powered by dYdX, brings perpetuals trading directly to Telegram. This month-long competition, running from October 1-31, 2025, is designed to test the skills of traders in a dynamic, social environment.

About the $100K Pocket Pro Competition

The competition features a massive $100,000 prize pool and is structured into two main contests to reward different trading styles:

🏆 Squads PNL Competition: Traders form squads (Telegram groups) and compete based on their collective Profit and Loss (PnL). Rewards are distributed among winning squad members based on their individual PnL and volume contributions. This format emphasizes teamwork and profitable strategies.
📈 Individual Trading Volume Competition: This contest is for the high-frequency traders. Prizes are awarded to individuals who generate the most trading volume throughout the month, regardless of their final PnL.

The prize structure is designed to be inclusive, with unique categories like the "Down Bad Awards" that reward the traders with the largest losses, celebrating high-risk participation and resilience.

Prize Pool Breakdown:

Squad Prizes (Total PnL based):
- 1st place: $25,000
- 2nd place: $7,500
- 3rd place: $5,000
Individual Prizes (Trading Volume based):
- 1st place: $25,000
- 2nd place: $7,500
- 3rd place: $5,000
Down Bad Awards (Worst PnL):
- 1st worst PnL: $5,000
- 2nd worst PnL: $1,500
- 3rd worst PnL: $500

Introducing the New Leaderboard

The new leaderboard at pp.dydxarena.com serves as the central hub for all competition data. Built with the same commitment to on-chain transparency as our dYdX Trading Arena, this platform allows anyone to monitor the competition's progress, analyze trader strategies, and see how the rankings change in real-time.

Key Leaderboard Features

The platform offers a comprehensive and user-friendly experience with several key features:

Dual Ranking System

Group (Squad) Ranking: Displays squads ranked by their total combined PnL. This is the main leaderboard for the team-based competition.
Individual Ranking: Ranks individual traders by their ROI (Return on Investment), providing a fair measure of trading skill independent of the amount of capital used.

Detailed Trader Profiles

By clicking on any participant's name in the Individual Ranking, you can navigate to their detailed profile page.
This page offers a transparent view of their current open positions, active orders, and complete trade history for the competition, allowing for in-depth strategy analysis.
