Sample Mission Details

  • Market: ETH-LONG
  • Leverage: 10x
  • Mode: EZ
  • Duration: 1 hour
  • Entry price: $10 per entry
  • Total entries available: 10,000
  • Start time: 12:00 PM UTC
  • Fee: 1%

Mechanics

Let's say 100 players each register 100 entries ($1,000 margin each). At the start time of the mission, a position is opened with the available margin. These can be calculated as:

margin=entry_price×entries(1fee)margin=entry\_price \times entries * (1-fee)

margin=$10×10,000×(10.01)=$99,000margin=\$10 \times 10,000 \times (1-0.01) = \$99,000

position_size=margin×leverageposition\_size=margin \times leverage

position_size=$99,000×10=$990,000position\_size=\$99,000 \times 10 = \$990,000

Positive PnL

In this case, we will assume that the price goes up by 1% by the end of the mission.

The PnL of the position will be:

pnl=position_size×price_changepnl=position\_size \times price\_change

pnl=$990,000×1%=$9,900pnl=\$990,000 \times 1\% = \$9,900

distributable_pnl=pnlfeedistributable\_pnl=pnl - fee

distributable_pnl=$9,900$1,000=$8,900distributable\_pnl=\$9,900 - \$1,000 = \$8,900

The $8,900 is then allocated to players based on an on-chain selection system, according to the distribution curve specified. Here's an example of how the distribution curve might look:

Tier% ShareReward ($)ROI
140%3,560.00356.0%
220%1,780.00178.0%
315%1,330.50133.5%
410%890.0089.0%
55%440.5044.5%
62.5%220.2522.3%
72.5%220.2522.3%

If a player wins a tier 1 reward, they receive $3,560 from the PnL as well as their original margin of $1,000. This means they would have a total of $4,560 (+356% ROI). Players are able to win multiple tiers of rewards, and the rewards are cumulative.

Players who does not receive a reward still receive their original margin of $1,000. As a result, even though they lost the selection process, they still break even including accounting for fees.

tl;dr - One lucky player (1% chance) earned 356% ROI with 1% positive price movement, while everyone else at least broke even.

Negative PnL

In this case, we will assume that the price goes down by 1% by the end of the mission.

The PnL of the position will be:

pnl=position_size×price_changepnl=position\_size \times price\_change

pnl=$990,000×1%=$9,900pnl=\$990,000 \times -1\% = -\$9,900

position_value=margin+pnlposition\_value=margin + pnl

position_value=$99,000$9,900=$89,100position\_value=\$99,000 - \$9,900 = \$89,100

Here there is a loss to distribute equally to all players according to the number of entries registered, with no selection mechanism.

value_per_entry=position_valuetotal_entriesvalue\_per\_entry=\frac{position\_value}{total\_entries}

value_per_entry=$89,10010,000=$8.91value\_per\_entry=\frac{\$89,100}{10,000} = \$8.91

Each player in our example had 100 entries, so each player will receive:

value_per_player=$8.91×100=$891value\_per\_player=\$8.91 \times 100 = \$891. Each player made a loss of $91 (-10.9% ROI)
