But, before we look ahead, let’s take a brief look at Season 1 highlights and key takeaways.
The volume, the turnout, and the winners
The campaign concluded with a total trading volume of $68,474.29 USDC. Out of 182 enrolled participants, 82 traders officially qualified by executing txs that met the campaign’s eligibility criteria.
As we mentioned, the competition at the top of the leaderboard was tight until the final minutes. The first/place finisher secured the top spot with a total volume of $5.88M, closely followed by the runner-up at $5.77M.
However, contestants did not need to match the highest volume traders to win a prize. The 20th-place finisher secured the final share of the 25k USDC prize pool with a volume of $160,860.

Gaming abuse policy violations
We would like to use this opportunity to emphasize that when it comes to maintaining a level playing field for all traders on our platform, we do not compromise on enforcing campaign guidelines.
Such was the case with 9 wallets that were disqualified due to violating Section 9 of the Terms and Conditions. The specific violations included game scoring exploits and manipulative trading patterns, such as wash trading, self-trading, or trading against known related addresses.
Final leaderboard update: following a review of wallet behavior, 9 wallets have been removed from the DFS Rewards program for violating our anti-gaming and abuse policy.

Consequently, these actions resulted in removal from the Leaderboard and forfeiture of all prizes.
