Dexari Launches $1 Million Gladiator Arena Trading Competition

Mobile Trading Gets a Competitive Edge

Dexari, the mobile-first self-custodial trading platform powered by Hyperliquid, has announced the Gladiator Arena: ROI Trading Competition, a month-long challenge set to start October 1, 2025. The contest is designed for both newcomers and seasoned traders, with rankings based purely on return on investment, putting trading performance front and center.

“Dexari is about bringing professional-grade trading features to users through an easy-to-use self-custodial mobile app,” said Chuck Bradford, CEO and co-founder of Dexari. “With the Gladiator Arena, traders have a clear stage to showcase performance, while affiliates can empower their communities to participate and grow alongside us.”

Prize Pool and Competition Structure

The initial prize pool opens at $100,000 USDC and will increase by $50,000 USDC for every $1 billion in contest trading volume, up to a maximum of $1 million. First place will receive 35% of the total prize pool, which could reach $350,000 USDC as volume rises.

There is no entry fee, and eligible traders earn 2x Dexari Points throughout the competition. Participants can also unlock side rewards from Hyperliquid ecosystem partners, including Hyperliquid Names, Hypio, PiP, Pear Protocol, Otties, Locals Only, Hyperpie, and Racks.win, adding extra opportunities to win.

Traders can join by downloading the Dexari app, with detailed competition terms available in-app.

Affiliate Program Boosts Community Participation

Dexari is launching an affiliate program alongside the competition. Affiliates can earn up to 80% of Dexari trading fees from referred users through a two-layer referral system, and the referrer of the competition’s top trader will receive $10,000 USDC.

The program encourages participants to bring their network into the competition, support their trading activity, and share in lifetime fees. Rewards are claimable within the app, with transparent tracking of referral activity, trading volumes, commissions, and tier status.

Dexari’s Product Momentum

Since its launch on July 23, 2025, Dexari has processed over $1.5 billion in cumulative trading volume and handled more than 150,000 total orders.

The platform will engage with traders and partners at Token 2049 in Singapore (Sept. 30 – Oct. 3) and DevConnect in Argentina (Nov. 12 – 17).
