The Kwenta Testnet Futures Trading Competition is Live

Synthetix and Kwenta are extremely excited to launch the Kwenta Testnet Futures Trading Competition. This competition will act as a demonstration of how perpetual futures trading on Kwenta will feel as we continue to refine the experience and prepare for the mainnet launch. Futures on Kwenta are unique in that they are built entirely using decentralized technology with the Synthetix protocol. Traders will benefit from the deepest liquidity available on the market for all assets, zero downtime during points of volatility, a completely permissionless product, and, eventually, futures for a wide variety of assets outside of the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Participants will be eligible to win part of a 50,000 sUSD prize pool and rare Kwenta NFTs in prizes. The competition will be hosted on Optimistic Kovan, which is a testnet on Optimism's Layer 2 solution. Traders will need to use only perpetual futures positions for sETH, sBTC, and sLINK to generate profit and reach the top of the leaderboard.

Anyone who discovers a bug relating to the Synthetix contracts during the competition will be eligible for a bug bounty if they report it responsibly.
