Qualifying takes two moves.
Start with $200+
Have at least $200 in your perps account when your first KriptoK order receives a fill.
Place 2+ Orders
Your activating order counts as the first. Each order must receive a fill, and multiple partial fills from the same order count as one.

Three rules that can't surprise you.
Losses Never Disqualify You
Drop below $200 from trading and you’re still in, still ranked, still scored.
Keep $200 After Withdrawals
Your perps account equity must remain at least $200 after every withdrawal. If a withdrawal takes it below $200, you will be disqualified from the current round.
Withdraw Profits Without Affecting Your ROI
You can withdraw profits during the round without reducing your ROI, as long as at least $200 remains in your perps account.

FAQ
You can join at any time while the round is live.
You enter when an order placed through KriptoK receives a fill while your perps account equity is at least $200. That order counts as the first of the two filled orders required to qualify.
Depositing $200 alone does not enter you into the round.
Only equity held in your perps account counts toward the $200 minimum. Funds held elsewhere in your KriptoK wallet do not count.
Falling below $200 due to trading losses does not disqualify you, but every withdrawal must leave at least $200 in your perps account.
Your ROI reflects your trading performance relative to the capital added to the round.
Realized and unrealized PnL, fees and funding affect your ROI. Deposits increase your capital and do not count as profit, while withdrawals do not remove gains already earned.
You do not need to close an existing position before joining or before the round ends.
Existing PnL is included in your starting equity, and only subsequent changes affect your ROI. An order placed through KriptoK to close a position counts if it receives a fill.
Open positions are included in the final equity snapshot.
Deposits made before entering help you reach the $200 minimum but do not automatically enter you into the round.
Deposits made afterward increase your capital and do not count as trading profit.
The top five qualified traders share $2,000 every round.

One strong round may win a round prize. Winning the season requires consistent performance across multiple rounds.
Every round starts fresh.
Your ROI and qualifying-order count reset, and previous-round deposits and withdrawals no longer affect the new round.
Existing positions may remain open, but you must activate again by placing a qualifying order through KriptoK while your total perps account equity is at least $200.
Any unrealized PnL already present at activation is included in your new starting equity. Only subsequent changes affect the new round.
Results are verified onchain after the round closes.
The Top 5 receive their USDC prizes within a few hours of verification.
Only qualified traders are eligible for round prizes and season points.
The following does not count toward qualification:
- Orders placed outside KriptoK
- Orders that do not receive a fill
- Orders completed before activation
- Multiple fills from the same order counted separately
- Holding or depositing $200 without placing a qualifying order
