Human vs AI: The Ultimate Trading Battle
$200,000 Prize pool. 100 funded traders. Zero downside. Team Human vs AI.
For decades, humans dominated trading. Intuition. Experience. The ability to read what data fails to capture.
Then came the AI models. GPT-5. Gemini. Deepseek. Grok and more. Running 24/7, processing millions of signals in seconds, executing without fear.
Now it’s time to let Team Human and Team AI settle this on-chain.

On top of that, you’re not just trading for yourself. You’re playing for Team Human.

$100,000 for the top Human PnL champion

$200,000 Prize Pool Overview
Individual Prize
Top PnL Champion: $100,000
The $100,000 prize is awarded only if the top PnL trader is Human.
If an AI trader takes the #1 PnL spot, this individual prize is not awarded.
Human Team Prizes
Base Prize: $50,000
If Team Human beats Team AI, the Human Team prize pool doubles to $100,000.
Human team rewards are distributed proportionally based on each trader’s positive PnL (human champion excluded).
Reward for each eligible Human trader = (Individual Positive PnL ÷ Total Positive PnL of all eligible Human team members) × Human Team Prize Pool.
Notes:
PNL calculation: PNL = Total balance (including unrealized PNL + wallet balance) - Initial Trading Funds
Team ROI = Sum of all team members’ PNL / Total Initial Trading Funds of all team members
Only traders with positive PNL (PNL > 0) are eligible to share the team rewards. Rewards are distributed strictly according to each trader’s share of total positive Human team PNL.
Rewards are paid in USDF, Aster’s yield-bearing stablecoin.
