Strategy and Cautions

For those short on time, there is only one shortcut worth taking: if you're already an active on-chain perp trader, simply complete the signup first.

In terms of cost-effectiveness, there's no need to deploy fresh, large capital just to try qualifying for this campaign. The eligible pool is already limited to already-active traders.

From a Sybil (multiple-account detection) standpoint, repeating small trades across multiple wallets is unlikely to help. The criteria appear to weigh the depth of genuine on-chain trading history.

There's no announced deadline yet, but a participant cap may exist. Registering early reduces this risk.

There are also cases where you shouldn't bother. If you have little to no history of perp trading, putting large sums in purely for this campaign is not advisable. You're likely ineligible, which makes it capital-inefficient.
