Trade, P&L, Refer, Deposit: Top 50 share 10,000 USDT
Race to the Top 50 is a trading competition on ApeX Omni with a prize pool of up to 10,000 USDT. Points come from four places: your trading volume, your P&L%, your net deposits and the friends you refer. When the campaign ends, the Top 50 on the leaderboard share the prize pool.
The campaign runs for 13 days, and the size of the pool depends on how much the whole community trades. Here is everything you need to take part.

How to join
Getting started takes two steps:
Register on the campaign page.
Keep at least 100 USDT in your perpetual futures account.
After that, every eligible trade, deposit and referral adds to your score. Your deposit and P&L scores only start counting from the moment you register, so sign up before you trade. You can follow your rank on the leaderboard on the campaign page.
Join the Race to the Top 50
Up to 10,000 USDT for the Top 50. Register, then trade, refer and deposit to climb.
How points are calculated
Your total score is the sum of four scores:
Score | Formula | Maximum |
|---|---|---|
Trading Volume | Eligible volume ÷ 100,000 | No limit |
P&L% | P&L% × 50 | 500 |
Deposit | Net deposits ÷ 500 | 500 |
Referral | 10% of referred users' base score | No limit |
Trading Volume Score. Trades on Perpetual Futures, TradFi Perpetuals, Event and Prediction Market all count toward your volume, and so does volume from the ApeX Omni Grid Bot. Only trades with a trading fee greater than zero are counted.
P&L% Score. This measures realised profit from Perpetual Futures trading after you register, against the equity you started with plus anything you deposit afterwards. A loss scores 0 and does not deduct points.
P&L% = Realised Profit ÷ (Perpetual Futures Account Equity at Registration + Eligible Deposits into the Perpetual Futures Account After Registration) × 100%
Deposit Score. Only net deposits count: deposits after registration, minus withdrawals after registration, minus any rewards received. USDT and USDC are the only eligible assets; other collateral is excluded.
Referral Score. You earn 10% of the base score of every user you refer directly. A base score is the sum of that user's Deposit, Trading Volume and P&L% Scores. If you refer someone who finishes with a base score of 40, you earn 4 referral points.
Prize pool and rewards
Prize pool unlock tiers and rewards by rank.
The prize pool grows with the total trading volume of all participants. At 30,000,000 USDT of campaign volume, a 3,000 USDT pool unlocks. At 50,000,000 USDT it rises to 5,000 USDT, and at 100,000,000 USDT the full 10,000 USDT pool unlocks. Until total volume reaches 30,000,000 USDT, the prize pool stays locked. Only the highest unlocked pool applies. The campaign page shows the current total trading volume, the current prize pool and the number of participants as the campaign runs.
At the full pool, first place takes 1,500 USDT, second 800 USDT and third 600 USDT, with rewards paid all the way down to 50th place. Rewards are paid in USDT within 14 business days after the campaign ends.
Who qualifies for a reward
To receive a reward, you need to meet all four conditions:
Registered through the campaign page
At least 100 USDT in your perpetual futures account
A Top 50 finish on the leaderboard
At least 10,000 USDT of eligible trading volume during the campaign
Wash trading, fraud, cheating, duplicate submissions and manipulation lead to disqualification, and multiple accounts on the same IP address or device are not allowed.
Terms and conditions
Participants must maintain a minimum balance of 100 USDT in their Perpetual Futures account and complete registration through the campaign landing page to be eligible for the event.
Eligible trading volume includes trades across Perpetual Futures, TradFi, Event Contracts, and Prediction Markets. Only trading volume generated from trades with trading fees greater than zero will be counted.
Each participant's final score will determine their leaderboard ranking and corresponding prize allocation.
The total score consists of four components: Deposit Score, Trading Volume Score, P&L% Score, and Referral Score.
A. Deposit Score
Deposit Score = Net Deposits ÷ 500
Net Deposits = Total Deposits After Registration − Total Withdrawals After Registration − Rewards Received
Maximum Deposit Score: 500 points
Only USDT and USDC deposits are eligible. Other multi-collateral assets are excluded.
B. Trading Volume Score
Trading Volume Score = Total Eligible Trading Volume During the Campaign ÷ 100,000
There is no maximum limit on Trading Volume Score.
Trading volume generated through the ApeX Omni Grid Trading Bot is also eligible.
C. P&L% Score
P&L% Score = P&L% × 50
Maximum P&L% Score: 500 points
P&L% reflects participants' realized trading profits after campaign registration. P&L% is calculated based on Perpetual Futures trading performance only.
P&L% = Realized Profit ÷ (Initial Perpetual Futures Account Equity at Registration + Eligible Deposits into the Perpetual Futures Account After Registration) × 100%
D. Referral Score
Referral Score = 10% of the base score earned by directly referred users.
Base Score includes Deposit Score, Trading Volume Score, and P&L% Score, excluding Referral Score.
There is no maximum limit on Referral Score.
e.g. During the event, if user A invites user B to register and participate, A will receive 10% of B's base score as referral points.
The campaign landing page will feature a leaderboard displaying participants' current rankings. The leaderboard will be updated every two hours.
Only the highest unlocked prize pool applies. Only participants ranked in the Top 50 who have accumulated at least 10,000 USDT in eligible trading volume during the campaign will qualify for rewards.
All campaign rewards will be distributed in USDT within 14 business days after the campaign ends to participants who meet the eligibility requirements.
Any form of wash trading, fraudulent activity, cheating, duplicate submissions, or manipulation of campaign results will result in disqualification.
Multiple accounts associated with the same IP address or device are not permitted to participate in this campaign.
ApeX reserves the right to disqualify participants and withhold rewards in cases of suspected abuse or violations of campaign rules.
The final rankings and corresponding reward allocations are as follows:
Total Trading Volume (USDT) | 30,000,000 | 50,000,000 | 100,000,000 |
|---|---|---|---|
Unlock the Prize Pool (USDT) | 3,000 | 5,000 | 10,000 |
1 | 450 | 750 | 1,500 |
2 | 240 | 400 | 800 |
3 | 180 | 300 | 600 |
4-5 | 135 | 225 | 450 |
6-10 | 90 | 150 | 300 |
11-20 | 60 | 100 | 200 |
21-30 | 45 | 75 | 150 |
31-50 | 18 | 30 | 60 |
