Event Details:
Core Mechanics
Participants do not need to choose a team manually. Your first options trade completed each week determines your team for that week: if your first trade is a BTC option, you will join the BTC team; if your first trade is an ETH option, you will join the ETH team. Teams are reassigned each week and cannot be changed once determined for that week.
The event runs for 4 consecutive weeks. Weekly results are calculated starting at 00:00 (UTC) every Monday, and results from the previous week do not carry over to the next week.
Each week is calculated, ranked, and rewarded independently.
Volatility King Team Determination Rules:
Each week, the absolute weekly price change of BTC and ETH from the start to the end of the week will be compared. Both upward and downward movements count as volatility.
Calculation Formula:
Weekly Change % = (This Week's Closing Index Price − This Week's Opening Index Price) / This Week's Opening Index Price × 100%
Weekly Volatility = the absolute value of the Weekly Change %, the asset with the higher Weekly Volatility becomes this week's "Volatility King," and its corresponding team wins.
Calculation Example:
Assuming that week: BTC's weekly Change was +6%, and ETH's weekly Change was -8%.
Then: BTC's Weekly Volatility is 6%, and ETH's Weekly Volatility is 8%.
Therefore, the ETH team is this week's Volatility King.
Price Basis:
The BTC price uses the platform's BTC/USDT Spot Price.
The ETH price uses the platform's ETH/USDT Spot Price.
The opening price is the opening price of the 1-minute candlestick corresponding to 00:00:00 (UTC) every Monday.
The closing price is the closing price of the 1-minute candlestick corresponding to 23:59:00 (UTC) on the following Sunday.
If BTC's and ETH's Weekly Volatility are exactly the same after being rounded to four decimal places, both teams are declared winners and split 2,500 USDT equally.
Event 1: BTC and ETH Leaderboards, Top 5 Each Week Share 1,500 USDT in Rewards
During the event, separate BTC Net Return and ETH Net Return leaderboards will be established each week. The top 5 users by Net Return on each leaderboard will receive the corresponding rewards.

|---|
1 | 500 USDT |
2 | 400 USDT |
3 | 300 USDT |
4 | 200 USDT |

Weekly Options Net Return = realized Profit/Loss (PnL) from Options Trading during the week
Only the Options Net Return for the underlying asset corresponding to the user's enrolled camp is counted. Unrealized Profit/Loss (PnL) from open positions is not included in the weekly rankings.
