Introducing Private Arenas: Your Own Trading Competition, for Your Community

Updated September 2026

You share the code. Your members enter it and join. They trade, a live leaderboard updates, and winners are paid. You do not touch any technical setup at any point. We build it, you distribute it.

What makes it private

Gated access. Only people with your code can join. Nobody outside your community can enter, see the leaderboard, or take a prize.

Your brand. The arena carries your name and your visual identity rather than ours.

The combination is the point. A public leaderboard your audience shares with thousands of strangers is a Ouinex event that your community happens to be in. A closed one with your name on it is your event, and the competition inside it is between people who know each other.

How it works

  1. We create the arena from our back office and generate one access code.
  2. We hand you the code.
  3. You share it with your community.
  4. Your members enter the code and join.
  5. They trade, the leaderboard updates live, and winners are paid.

There is nothing to integrate and nothing to maintain. You receive a code and a ready-to-share arena.

What you can configure

Each arena is built around a specific campaign rather than from a template.

Name and visual. Branded around you.

Duration. Start and end dates set to match your campaign, not our calendar.

Assets. Run the competition across all derivatives, or narrow it to specific instruments. If we list a new token, we can build an arena on that single token, which makes a launch-day push with a partner project genuinely possible rather than approximately possible.

That last option is the one most partners have not thought of. A competition scoped to one instrument concentrates all the attention and all the volume on the thing you are actually launching, on the day you are launching it.

The reward system scales with turnout

Prize pools are tied to participation. We set reward tiers against the number of qualified traders, and as each tier is reached the pool moves to the next level and more is distributed.

A qualified trader is a member who has placed at least 20 trades. The threshold exists so the leaderboard reflects sustained trading rather than a single fortunate position.

A live progress bar shows the current pool, the next target, and how many more qualified traders are needed to unlock it.

The effect on a community is worth understanding, because it is the main reason to prefer this structure to a fixed prize. A fixed pool is a competition between members, every other participant is a rival. A tiered pool is a shared target first and a competition second. Members have a direct reason to bring other members in, and the progress bar gives the campaign a visible goal that is not simply "win".

Fair play

Every arena runs through our anti-abuse framework.

A 20-trade minimum to appear on the leaderboard at all.

Wash-trading detection at the end of the event. Wash trading, trading against yourself to inflate volume without taking real risk, is the standard way a volume-based competition gets gamed, and it is checked for.

Manual review of winners before any payout.

The reason to be explicit about this in your own promotion is reputational. A competition your community believes was won fairly is worth running again. One where the winner is suspected of gaming it costs you more credibility than the prize pool was worth, and that cost lands on you rather than on us.

Who this is for

Private Arenas fit a specific shape of campaign: a partner project with a token launch and an audience to activate; a KOL or community lead who wants an event their members can only access through them; a team that wants a trading competition without building or operating one.

It fits less well if what you want is broad reach. A Private Arena is closed by design, its value is exclusivity, not volume of participants.

Getting started

Tell us the campaign you have in mind and we handle the rest.

  1. Choose your dates and your assets.
  2. We build your branded arena and send you the code.
  3. You launch it to your community.

Get in touch through the Ouinex partnership page to set one up. If you want to see the format in action first, our public Arenas run on the same engine, and what a trading competition involves covers the mechanics from a participant's point of view.
