Staking Rules - NO FTT CAN BE LOST BY STAKING

  1. Trade the Traders

    Spectators can “trade the traders” by staking their favorite traders (up to five traders maximum) with FTT.

  2. Stakers Scoring

    Stakers earn a score based on the amount of FTT staked and the performance of their chosen traders.
    • Staker Score is calculated from a combination of FTT staked and number of stakers. Check out the Battle Royale Scoring Calculations. We have carefully designed the staker score to make it fair for small and large FTT holders.
    • Staking can be changed every hour. Spectators/Stakers have until the end of each hour to place/change their stake for it to count towards the next round/hour.
    • Spectators/Stakers do not have to change their stake every hour, they can stake the same traders for the whole day, week or month.
      • If spectators do not change their stake, the original choice will roll over to the next hour/round.
    • Staking will not cause any FTT to be lost. If your trader(s) get knocked out or you get a low staking score, you do not lose any FTT.
    • Stakers will be ranked at the end of the week and top stakers will win FTT. Staked FTT is unavailable to use for collateral

    The best staker can win up to 7.3k FTT (~9k USD). Total prize pool is 40k FTT (~$48k USD).

Affiliates Table

Post Battle Royale Referral Program

After the Battle Royale all your existing referrals will revert to our standard referral incentive where you will receive 30% of their fees while they get 5% of their fees rebated.

Post Referral Table

These calculations are based on highest fee tiers. Influencers who have gotten the Bybit’s special 40% referral program have asked why the absolute commission for Bybit is lower than FTX’s 30%. This is because FTX’s 30% is off 9bps, whereas Bybit 40% is off 5bps. 30%*9bps > 40%*5bps.
Hence, referrals will earn more on FTX’s affiliate program over Deribit’s, Bitmex’s and Bybit’s. In addition, referred FTX users get 5% rebate on their trading fees. This is something that Bybit does not offer.

For Affiliates

We provide marketing collateral support, engagement from FTX social media, interviews on FTX, collaborative connections with other Battle Royale traders to help you increase your conversion rates. You will get a dedicated FTX manager if you meet these requirements.

For affiliates with high performance, we offer generous bonuses. Please contact us directly at [email protected] or message @dwong23, @JamesStewartNZ or @burglol on telegram.

In addition, power affiliates can apply for a special two-level (sub-affiliate) referral program.
