TAO.com Arena Is Paying $4,000 to the Best Subnet Traders. Here’s How to Get In

If you trade subnet tokens, you can now get paid for doing it well, on top of whatever profit you make.

TAO.com has launched Arena, a free trading competition for Bittensor subnet traders. Season 1 runs from November 6 to December 6, and the three wallets with the highest P&L split $4,000 in TAO.

The prizes

– 1st place: $2,000 (≈ τ8.99)

– 2nd place: $1,200 (≈ τ5.39)

– 3rd place: $800 (≈ τ3.59)

Prizes are set in dollars and paid in TAO.

Two ways you make money

1) Your trades. Any gains you make trading subnet alpha tokens on TAO.com are yours, whether or not your are part of the top 3.

2) The prize pool. If you finish top three, you get prize TAO on top of those gains.

Entry is free. If you’re already trading subnets, joining costs you nothing and gives you a shot at the prizes.

Who can enter

Arena is open to wallets that have put between 1 and 12 TAO into subnet tokens. Whales can’t just buy the top spots, so smaller traders have a real chance.

You have to be 18 or older. Arena isn’t available in the UK or some restricted countries.

Does a bigger wallet still have an edge?

A little. Arena has a 12 TAO cap, so whales trading more than that can’t compete. But rankings use total P&L in dollars, not percentage return. Inside the 1–12 TAO band, a 12 TAO wallet up 5% (+0.6 TAO) still beats a 5 TAO wallet up 10% (+0.5 TAO). If you’re trading small, you need a bigger percentage gain to keep up.

How winners are picked

1) You’re ranked on total P&L, which counts both realized and unrealized gains.

2) Open positions are priced at their average over the last two hours of the competition.

3) Only trades made through TAO.com count.

How to join

1) Go to tao.com/arena.

2) Sign in with your wallet or your X account. It takes about a minute, and signing doesn’t move any funds.

3) Claim your wallet. Only claimed wallets can win.

Your eligible trades since November 6 count as soon as you join, so you haven’t missed anything yet.

One more edge

Arena has a live leaderboard and a feed of trades from the top wallets. You can see what the best traders are buying and selling while the competition is running.

Know the risk

Subnet tokens are volatile, and some have thin liquidity. You can lose part or all of what you put in. Start small, and only trade what you can afford to lose.

The board closes December 6.
