Participation Rules:
Use the balance of USD as the unit of account

The rules for ranking of trading competition:
Snapshots will be taken for both Acala and Laminar networks at the beginning of the trading competition; the total net value of various assets (including debts) will be calculated based on the price feed at the time as the initial balance.
Another snapshot will be taken at the end of the competition, using the feed price at that time as the final balance. Cross-chain transfers (e.g. transfers between Acala and Laminar) are not counted, while transfers between addresses are counted as capital.
Profit margin = total value of final balance / (total value of initial balance + capital sum correction) — 100%, all accounts are ranked according to this function.
The following are included in the balance calculation: Balances of all assets: — Acala : aUSD, ACA, renBTC, XBTC, DOT, LDOT — Laminar : aUSD, LAMI, synthetic assets
Balances of all DeFi positions: — Acala : CDP (net value of collateral value minus debt value), share value in Deposit & Earn — Laminar : margin position value
