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
