Blackboard, a non-custodial trading terminal for onchain markets, today announced a trading competition with Aster, a leading perpetual decentralized exchange (DEX).
The first trading competition will run from October 10 to November 10, 2026 (UTC). The competition begins with a guaranteed $17,000 prize pool, which can grow to as much as $100,000. Registration is now open for waitlisted users.
Participants will compete across two leaderboards: Volume and PnL. The Volume leaderboard ranks traders by volume executed, while the PnL leaderboard ranks traders by positive net profit and loss. A single registration enters participants into both leaderboards.
