• King of Shield Prize：

  • Up to $10,000 for the Top PnL performer during the competition while trading exclusively in Shield Mode.

  • If the top performer's total PnL is below $30,000 (i.e., even the highest PnL achieved in the competition is less than $30,000), then is ineligible for King of Shield but remains eligible for the Shield League prize (see below).

• Shield League Pool:

  • If the total PnL of all participants meets the required threshold, eligibility to share the corresponding reward pool is granted.

  • The required threshold (Group PnL Requirement) is calculated based on profit only: only positive realized PnL is counted, and any losses (negative PnL) are not included.

  • The reward pool will be shared equally among all participants who made at least one trade with positive PnL during the competition period.

  • No minimum PnL amount required — even tiny positive PnL trades qualify.

  • Top PnL performers who receive a King of Shield prize are excluded from the Shield League reward pool.

• Notes

  • Only realized PnL generated from opening and closing positions will be counted. Positions will be considered eligible only if both the opening and closing timestamps occur within the campaign period. If either the opening or closing time falls outside the campaign period, the realized PnL from that position will not be counted.

  • Only realized PnL is included in the calculation. Funding fees, profit fees, and any other non-trading fees are excluded and will not be counted as part of realized PnL.

  • Rewards are paid in USDF, Aster’s yield-bearing stablecoin.

Key Dates

• Trading competition: 8:00 UTC, 30 Jan - 23:59 UTC, 8 Feb

• Reward distribution: Rewards will be distributed in USDF to users’ Aster Perpetual accounts within 14 business days after the campaign ends.

Competition Rules

• Only trading activities executed exclusively in Aster Shield Mode will be considered eligible.

Reward Distribution

• The public leaderboard will be updated periodically and provides provisional rankings only.

• After the event ends, Aster will conduct a full audit of all participant accounts to verify trading behavior, rule compliance, and data accuracy. The official final rankings will be announced separately once the review is complete.

• The ‘Final PnL’ will be determined based on the snapshot taken at the end of the competition. Any profits generated from trades executed after the competition ends will not be counted.

• Reward distribution: Rewards will be distributed in USDF to users’ Aster Perpetual accounts within 14 business days after the campaign ends.
