The prize pool starts at a guaranteed 500 USDC and can grow to 5,000 USDC as eligible trading volume reaches campaign milestones. To take part, select LeverUp V2 on Clash of Perps and trade with 1–100x leverage. Raids and PnL count toward the leaderboard, not only volume.

Traders bringing traders

Community member Cashich created their own team on LeverUp and offered 10 USDC each to the first 10 traders who individually reach $30K in volume through their referral link. Balu highlighted the offer as an example of long-time community members helping new traders get started.

This is a community-funded initiative, not an official LeverUp reward campaign. Check the original post for availability and terms.
