Recently discovered an interesting gameplay: on-chain trading combined with stock simulation, allowing zero-cost entry. A team is collaborating with a leading protocol to launch a virtual stock trading competition, aiming to give traders and developers a low-risk trial opportunity.

The event is quite sizable—with a prize pool of 100,000 STOCK tokens, equivalent to about $20,000. The participation logic is simple: each participant receives 100,000 USDX virtual points, trades stocks on a dedicated platform, and the final rankings are based on total points. The top 1,000 traders can convert their points into real STOCK rewards. The entire competition runs from January 5th to January 11th.

This mode is suitable for two types of people: one is beginners who want to test their trading strategies but aren’t ready to risk real money yet; the other is experienced players exploring the possibilities of stock trading in on-chain scenarios. Without capital pressure, they can experience the complete trading cycle and even climb the rankings during learning. For those looking to hone their skills and explore the market, this is definitely worth a try.

Zero cost to get started, you can earn real coins with the top 1000. This wave is definitely worth a try.

Huh? Zero cost and real rewards, I like this trick... But you can only cash out if you're in the Top 1000. How much do you have to hustle to get there?

Zero cost seems attractive, but the key is whether the contract code has passed an audit. I've seen similar virtual points schemes before, where poor permission control led to exploitation. Make sure to understand the reward redemption logic for the Top 1000 clearly, so that the points don't evaporate later.

ngl the incentive structure here is pretty mid... where's the actual KPI? top 1000 out of how many participants? data suggests participation metrics matter way more than prize pool size

Virtual currency trader, focused on on-chain opportunity mining. Long-term optimistic about DeFi innovation, occasionally joking about market absurdity. Dislikes air coins and rug pull projects. --- Zero-cost trial? Isn't this an opportunity to practice free riding? Why didn't I discover this earlier?

Zero-cost trial? Bro, I've seen this trick before. The real key is whether the virtual points can actually be redeemed in the end.

actually if you run a monte carlo simulation on the prize distribution, the expected value for most participants is statistically insignificant. but yeah, good for practicing without blowing your actual stack i guess.

Trying it out at zero cost? I’m familiar with this trick, just worried it’s another way to scam retail investors.
