The recent trading competition heat has indeed been declining, and participants' enthusiasm has also waned. However, a closer look still reveals some patterns.

The KGEN event was quite popular, attracting a large number of participants right from the start. Many people saw that early on, earning KGEN was relatively easy, so they thought about rushing to secure a good ranking. As a result, the leaderboard kept climbing, and eventually, it surged all the way to 340,000. In comparison, the GUA and BSC events were much quieter — the slots were limited, the rewards not particularly attractive, and the difficulty high, so not many people bothered to participate. Just joining casually could get you on the leaderboard.

Although the trading competitions are no longer as glamorous, the free points mechanism is still in place, and those who are interested can still earn some benefits. Yesterday, I casually participated in GUA and BSC events, spending only about 25 USDT upfront and earning 19 points. The combined reward pool for these two events is worth 50 USDT, which means I not only got the points for free that day but also offset some previous expenses.

My usual strategy is mainly to farm LISA, because its cost is the most stable, generally around 1.6 to 1.7 USDT daily. Over a cycle, this can cover the fixed minimum cost. Of course, this depends on knowing how to farm effectively and choosing events that aren’t too competitive or costly. If I encounter events following high-competition ones with decent odds, or multiple events ending simultaneously with stacked rewards, I might try small bets to chase some surprises. For example, RAVE, which requires only around 20,000 USDT in investment, offers a chance to qualify. Opportunities like these are definitely worth paying attention to.

KGEN0,17%

GUA4,35%

RAVE-3,33%

340,000 copies reaching this height is really outrageous, the KGEN event was a slaughter. But to be fair, it's normal for GUA and BSC to be quiet; if the rewards aren't good, who would bother to tinker. However, the move from 25u to 50u is indeed feasible; the free-to-play logic is right here.

340,000 copies to this level, how regretful those early people must be. It’s really becoming more and more intense and competitive. KGEN has truly taught a lesson. Watching simple results be painfully squeezed out, this is the routine operation in trading competitions. Anyway, I’m now just looking at cost-stable ones like LISA. Unless the odds are particularly favorable, other than that, it’s not really worth the hassle. I just treat GUA and BSC as free plays.

Breaking even is indeed tough, but this wave of KGEN is really fierce... 340,000 directly into the abyss, I should have known not to follow the trend. As for GUA, those two matches were really easy wins, just casually messing around and making the leaderboard, hilarious. --- Turning 25u into a 50u reward pool is truly a genius move, almost like earning half? But you have to grasp the rhythm, just looking at it gives me a headache. --- LISA's stable cost is really appealing, breaking even at around 1.6u... easy to say, but in practice it still takes brainpower, not everyone has the leisure to calculate every day. --- Wait, RAVE can gamble a little with just over 20,000? Is this another trap set for the little guys... I need to take another look. --- If the hype drops, so be it. Anyway, those who understand are still quietly making money, the real opportunities are in the details. --- I really can't hold on to the 340,000 mark, how twisted must my mentality be... Who would still dare to go all out in the upcoming competitions? --- People who don't know how to choose competitions are really suffering now, one careless move and you go from free riding to losing money, risk at its maximum.

KGEN that wave is really crazy, 340,000 tokens is quite intense. It looked simple at first, but then I got caught in it later. I've seen this routine many times. However, with GUA and BSC, it's more comfortable; just playing around can get you there? Turning 25u into a 50u pool's return, this operation is pretty good.

The surge to 340,000 still underestimated it. This wave of KGEN really caught everyone off guard. If I had known, I wouldn't have followed the trend and would have directly farmed GUA and BSC's wool.

Reaching 340,000 is really outrageous. Things that seemed like guaranteed wins early on ultimately come with a price. GUA and BSC free riding is indeed attractive, but this kind of niche competition is just like that. LISA's approach is pretty good; the feeling of turning 25u into 50u is satisfying, but you have to grasp the rhythm of the event very tightly. If you're not careful, you could end up with reverse profits.
