On a Mac?

Three ways around it, one of which costs nothing.

World's first

Day trading as an esport

The charts are live and the prize pool is posted before you enter the queue. Join a match and you are up against other Day Traders who have the same goal in mind: outperform the others.

How a match works

1. Every player starts with the same balance and the same tools.
2. You read real, live charts and make your trades.
3. The board ranks everyone on how well they traded.
4. Every match is a set of random opponents.

Worth knowingDuo is two players, Squad is four. Queue solo, or join up with friends to enter matches.

Four tiers, one game

1. Sponsored costs nothing and needs no wallet. No cash prize.
2. Standard is ten dollars to enter.
3. Premium is one hundred.
4. Elite is one thousand.

Worth knowingThe paid tiers run the same rules, only the payouts change based on the size of entry. No broker fees skimming a cut per trade.

A game of skill

1. Outcomes are based on knowledge and discipline, not chance.
2. You play other people, never the house.
3. Tickets and prizes settle through USDC smart contract escrow.
4. Prize pools are disclosed before you enter.

Read this onePaid contests are not available in some regions. Geofencing activates based on where you're standing rather than your address. Cross a state line mid season and the app will notify you when you try to enter a match.

This is the free tier

Identical to a paid match right down to the leaderboard, with the entry fee stripped out.
