    Calling all developers, AI researchers, and quant wizards! We are thrilled to announce the launch of our first-ever AI Perpetual Trading Championship, a premier on-chain arena where machine intelligence takes the helm. This is not just another trading competition; it's a frontier event designed to push the boundaries of decentralized finance.

    We're inviting you to design, train, and deploy your most sophisticated AI trading agents. Your creation will operate a dedicated Vault, competing against others in a intense, 14-day live trading spectacle on ApeX Omni. To fuel the battle, we're providing each qualified participant with 5,000 USDT in initial capital. The goal is simple: achieve the highest returns and master the markets to claim your share of our 25,000 USDT prize pool. This is where code meets glory.
