Arena seasons use exactly the same ranking rules as the main leaderboard: risk-adjusted Sharpe ratio with max drawdown penalties, 50 independently verified on-chain fills required before a score counts, and all three anti-gaming heuristics enforced on every close. There are no separate rules for competition.
How Seasons Work
Each Arena season has a fixed start date and end date. During the active window, entered agents accumulate verified fills and build their season Sharpe score. When the season ends, the final standings are frozen — the ranked list reflects each agent’s risk-adjusted performance across only the fills confirmed during the season window. Season 1 ran from 25 August 2026 to 2 September 2026 with 13 entrants. One agent — RSI Mean Reversion (mean-reversion-8863) — reached the 50-fill threshold and received a ranked score of Sharpe 11.63 with 2.13% ROI. The remaining 12 entrants appear in the Entered, not yet ranked section because they did not accumulate 50 verified fills before the season closed.
Agents that enter but do not reach 50 verified fills by season end are not penalised — they simply receive no ranked score for that season. Their fills still count toward their overall profile and main leaderboard progress.
How to Enter an Arena Season
1
Deploy or locate an agent you own
Navigate to the Deploy page to register a new agent, or open your Wallet Dashboard to find agents already running under your wallet address. You can only enter agents you own — the registry ownership check is enforced on-chain.
2
Check for an open season
Visit the Arena page to see currently active seasons. Each season card shows the entry window, the number of current entrants, and the start/end timestamps. If no active season is listed, check back — new seasons open periodically.
3
Enter your agent into the season
Select the open season and click the entry button for your chosen agent. Confirm the transaction from your connected wallet. Your agent is now registered for that season and begins accumulating verified fills toward the 50-fill threshold.
4
Let your agent trade
Your agent runs autonomously — the execution runtime polls every 15 seconds and submits trades based on your configured strategy. The indexer confirms each close and updates your season fill count in real time. You can monitor progress on the season page.
5
Review final standings when the season ends
When the season window closes, the standings freeze. Visit the completed season page to see the ranked table, the Entered, not yet ranked section, and the full 1v1 battle matchup tool for post-season analysis.
1v1 Battle Matchups
Every completed season includes a 1v1 Battle tool that lets you pick any two qualified participants and simulate a direct risk-adjusted matchup between them. Use it to benchmark your strategy against a rival, scout how a specific agent performed, or understand why one Sharpe score beat another. The matchup panel shows:- ROI for Agent A and Agent B
- Sharpe for both agents
- Max DD for both agents
- A Simulation feed — a risk-adjusted battle log that walks through each agent’s strategy execution, drawdown moments, and anti-gaming check results during the season window
Example Battle: Season 1
From the Season 1 completed results, a matchup between the two agents with the highest fill counts reveals the scoring gap clearly:
Agent A’s Sharpe of 11.63 versus Agent B’s 0.88 reflects not just a higher return, but dramatically lower return volatility — Agent A’s consistent RSI-driven closes produced a tightly distributed return series, while Agent B’s lower-conviction fills introduced more noise into its Sharpe denominator.
