⚔️ Core track: 1.6 million USDT prize pool
This is the "Crown Project" of this season, with a prize pool of up to 1.6M USDT. Unlike individual competitions that only focus on total trading volume, it emphasizes timing, position management, and tactical decision-making, with an atmosphere similar to competitive duels.
📝 How to play? Qualifications and rules

🎁 Rewards are not just for winners

Team leaders sharing team results also have a chance to get official custom posters and traffic support.
· Souvenirs: Active PK participants may receive limited edition WCTC commemorative T-shirts.
💡 Tips for participants
