FX100’S NO NEED TO PLAY SAFE: X CHALLENGE SUBMISSION (TOP IT UP) With crypto still volatile following the unprecedented Binance hack, I wanted to sharpen my perps trading, capitalize on market volatility, and better manage liquidation risk. So I opened a @FX100Perp testnet position, longing $ETH at 50x leverage. Two and a half minutes into the 15-minute protection, I was already in the red. I carefully monitored my liquidation price, hoping the window would carry me through this dip and others. With a minute of defense remaining, I topped up my margin to create a cushion in case the market continued falling after time expired. The result: my liquidation price plunged from $2,215.52 to $1,091.45, while leverage dropped from 50x to just 1.92x. More capital at risk, though far more room to breathe. Topping up is now a regular resource in my risk toolkit alongside stop-losses. I should’ve used it sooner. How often do you add margin to your underwater positions? testnet.fx100.club/trade

FX100 REAL WORLD CHALLENGE: FED INTEREST RATE DECISION This latest @FX100Perp real-world challenge tests its unique liquidation protection against one of crypto’s biggest volatility catalysts: the U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate decision. Uncertain about the outcome, I played it safe and prepared for a market downturn, especially since “Uptober” failed to meet expectations. At 10:30am PDT/17:30 UTC, I opened a 100x leveraged $ETH short, positioning myself for a bearish reaction to the Fed’s announcement. But, over the next 30 minutes, $ETH gradually climbed, printing small green candles and steadily moving against my position. Then came the 11:00am PDT/18:00 UTC announcement: interest rates will remain unchanged. Rather than triggering a sell-off, the news shot markets higher, producing a massive green candle that pushed my short position further into the danger zone—until the 15-minute protection window rescued it. Did yours also withstand the announcement, or were you prepared for a bullish outcome?

The most recent @FX100Perp “PICK A SIDE: X CHALLENGE” asks to share a profitable testnet trade. Since the market’s been surprisingly bleeding this month, longing any asset seemed like a fool’s errand. Instead of fighting the downtrend and hoping the market would pump, I shorted ethereum:native and finally earned some gains. Sometimes the best trade isn’t betting on a recovery; it’s recognizing the trend and taking advantage.

BULK Challenger Series Season 1: Climb League Ranks and Compete for Rewards BULK’s new “Challenger Series” turns perpetual futures trading into a season-long competition where weekly performance determines league standing. Move up the leaderboard ranks to earn USDC payouts, collect extra AURA through Gauntlet challenges, and chase a coveted Playoff spot. About the Challenger Series Season 1 runs for eight weeks, October 10, 2026–December 5, 2026. Here’s how it works: • Generate at least $10,000 in trading volume. Eligible traders automatically enter. • Earn Trading AURA through trading activity (specifics haven’t been released) to reach higher leagues. • League standings recalculate every week based on that week’s Trading AURA. Your finishing league determines your weekly rewards. • Only Trading AURA counts toward your league ranking (including Gauntlet AURA); any gained from referrals, pre-deposits, and other non-trading activity doesn’t apply. • Rewards are subject to wash trading and Sybil checks; flagged accounts could be disqualified. • Market makers earning a Tier 2+ maker rebate in a given week are ineligible for that week’s rankings, prize pool, and Gauntlet. Ascend the League Ladder The Challenger Series features seven leagues, ranked from lowest to highest: • Unranked: No Trading AURA • Bronze: Some Trading AURA • Silver: Top 50–25% • Gold: Top 25–10% • Platinum: Top 10%–Rank 101 • Diamond: Ranks 100–26 • Challenger: Ranks 25–1 Weekly Prize Pools Each week, @bulktrade sets aside 12.5% of its net revenue (trading fees minus maker rebates) for a USDC prize pool. Because it’s a revenue share rather than a fixed amount, distribution can grow as trading activity increases, with no cap on payouts. The pool is divided among the four highest leagues: • Challenger: 45%, plus playoff qualification • Diamond: 25% • Platinum and Gold: 30% combined, with Platinum traders averaging about twice as much as Gold traders Within every league, rewards are paid pro rata by each trader’s share of that league’s Trading AURA; hold 2% and receive 2% of its pool. The higher your league and the larger your Trading AURA share, the bigger your potential payout. Weekly Gauntlet Challenges Each Saturday, BULK introduces another “Gauntlet”: a limited-time trading challenge with its own objective and a 50,000 AURA reward pool (5% of the weekly 1,000,000 AURA supply). How Gauntlets work: • Traders who attain at least Bronze league are automatically entered. • Rewards are also split pro rata by results. If total eligible volume reaches $500 million and you contribute $5 million (1%), you earn 500 AURA. • Gauntlet AURA counts toward your league ranking and comes from the existing weekly supply, so no extra AURA is minted. • Find the latest Gauntlet challenge and its rules on the Challenged Series page. Make the Playoffs Once the regular season concludes, the top traders qualify for the Playoffs, the final stage of the series, with a separate prize pool at stake. Full qualification rules and format will be announced before the regular season ends. Trade, Compete & Climb the Challenger Rankings Whether you’re working up from Bronze or chasing a top-25 spot, BULK’s Challenger Series offers clear milestones at every level. No spot stays safe, so don’t get complacent; you can fall off the ladder just as fast as you climbed it. Continue trading, defend your position, and pursue those top league rewards: app.bulk.trade/challenger.

The new @FX100Perp “ENTER THE ARENA: X CHALLENGE” asks to recall a key takeaway from your first trading experience. The main distinction I noticed was that the 15-minute liquidation protection acts as a temporary buffer, not an automatic position-management or rebalancing tool as initially thought. It also took a couple of liquidations to realize that the countdown doesn’t reset if you add to an existing position or open another, so you can’t extend protection by increasing exposure. What did you notice about your first FX100 testnet trade? Complete the challenge yourself: guild.xyz/fx100/home.

FX100 Weekly Challenge #7: Red Mode This week’s @FX100Perp challenge starts on humpday, and there’s only one direction to go: down. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes dropped, typically triggering volatility, making this the perfect week to bet against the grain. While red candles usually mean red portfolios and regret, this week they bring rewards. Goal Short any asset using moderate 10x-20x leverage and hit +30% PnL or more. Rules • Trade any asset. • Short positions only. • Use leverage between 10x and 20x. • Reach +30% PnL or higher. • Post a visible screenshot showing the asset, short position, appropriate leverage, and +30% PnL in the @aladdindao (FX100) Discord’s “testnet-arena” channel, found inside the “WEEKLY CHALLENGE 7: RED MODE” thread. Rewards • Complete the challenge: 3,000 XP. • Hit one of the three highest PnLs: 7,000 XP (bonus). Timeline • Submit your qualifying trade no later than next Wednesday, October 14, 2026, at 2pm UTC. Capitalize on FX100’s Week Seven Red Mode Pick your asset, open a 10x-20x leveraged short, and ride the red wave down to +30% PnL or better. If you couldn’t capitalized on the FOMC reaction, you still have ample time to land your qualifying trade. Visit FX100, open shorts, and prepare to profit from those typically dreaded red candles: testnet.fx100.club/trade

FX100 Real-World Challenge #2: Surviving the September Jobs Report The second real-world @FX100Perp trading challenge tackles one of the market’s most volatile scheduled events: the U.S. jobs report. Today at 5:30am PDT/12:30pm UTC, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics released September’s Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data. This monthly economic indicator measures how many jobs the U.S. economy added or lost outside the farm sector. It’s one of the most closely watched gauges of economic health, routinely triggering sharp, fast moves across stocks and crypto. Believing the report would disappoint and disrupt markets, I opened a $1,000 $SOL short at ~100x around 5:26am PDT, roughly four minutes before the release, within the qualifying timeframe. A sizable red wick printed around 5:24am, followed by a smaller dip, reinforcing my thesis and boosting my confidence—until $SOL spiked about one dollar a few minutes later, blowing through my estimated $122.48 liquidation price. Six minutes into the protection window, my position was down 58% of its margin and still being rescued. Once the fifteen-minute window closed, my short was “Successfully rescued,” suffering a minor loss of just $1.05. Once again, FX100’s novel fifteen-minute protection window saved my testnet position. Did you also survive the NFP news?

FX100 Weekly Challenge #6: Degen Mode This week, the guardrails are off. Unlike previous @FX100Perp challenges, there’s no playbook, no limitations, no protection—just you, the market, and a shot at triple-digit gains. Goal It’s straightforward: open any position in any direction using any amount of leverage, reaching +200% PnL or more. Rules • Trade any asset. • Long or short. • Set any leverage amount. • Hit +200% PnL or higher. • Post a clean screenshot showing the coin, leverage, direction, and +200% PnL in the @aladdindao (FX100) Discord’s “testnet-arena” channel, within the “WEEKLY CHALLENGE 6: DEGEN MODE” thread. Rewards • Complete the challenge: 3,000 XP. • Reach one of the three highest qualifying PnLs: 7,000 XP (bonus). Timeline • Submit your proof by next Monday, October 5, 2026, at 2pm UTC. Enter FX100’s Week Six Degen Gauntlet This week, your only limit is nerve. While the challenge seems simple, actually surviving the volatility long enough to profit is another story. Pick a few assets to increase your chances, choose your side(s), set leverage you can stomach, and go full degen mode: testnet.fx100.club/trade.

FX100 Weekly Challenge #5: Long Fiesta A new Monday means another @FX100Perp weekly trading quest, this time the party only moves in one direction. Lever up, go long, and see how much conviction you can convert into testnet cash. Goal Forget hedging, shorting, and playing it safe: land a 50x or higher leveraged long trade, hitting +50% PnL or more. Rules • Trade any asset. • Open a long position. • Use at least 50x leverage. • Reach 50% profit or more. • Post a visible screenshot showing your long position, 50x+ leverage, and +50% PnL in the @aladdindao (FX100) Discord’s “testnet-arena” channel, within the “WEEKLY CHALLENGE 5: LONG FIESTA” thread.

Enter FX100’s Week Cinco Testnet Arena No waiting for pullback; no lingering at the snack table. Pick your asset, stack that leverage, and watch it pump. While the premise is simple, only those willing to hold their nerve will still be dancing once the music stops. With bulls in a party mood, could this week’s challenge be the easiest yet? Head to FX100’s testnet, open your long position, and join the fiesta: testnet.fx100.club/trade.

FX100 Weekly Challenge #4: Saved Trade During the FOMC Decision (Event 2) I placed trades within today’s qualifying window (5:30–6:30pm UTC), hoping to tank at least one position and trigger @FX100Perp’s 15-minute liquidation-protection shield. Anticipating a Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) rate hike, I expected a red-wick wave and opened BTC and ETH 100x longs, which backfired immediately; the market pumped and both trades became profitable. So I closed out and flipped to two new shorts, a couple of minutes apart. A few minutes later, around 11:07am PDT/6:07pm UTC, a massive green wick triggered my ETH position’s “You are being rescued” warning. With a little under three minutes of protection left, it saved the trade. It’s harder to get liquidated when you’re trying to lose. Did the fifteen-minute shield save your otherwise wrecked position?

FX100 Weekly Challenge #4: Real-World Edition Major economic news can hit the market with sudden volatility, wrecking your position on a temporary wick just before your thesis proved right. This fourth challenge trades hypotheticals for headlines, testing FX100’s protection against two impactful policy events. Goal See if the fifteen-minute liquidation window holds up against the uncertainty and instability that the CLARITY Act procedural vote and the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) interest-rate decision could unleash. Prep your position(s), let the volatility strike, and watch FX100 spare your funds. Rules • Choose one or both events. • Place a trade during the limited timeframes: CLARITY Act (September 15, 2026, 6:15-7:15pm UTC); FOMC (September 16, 2026, 5:30pm-6:30pm UTC). • FX100’s fifteen-minute cushion must save the trade from liquidation. • Screenshot the save or record a short video clearly showing the protection notification, open position, and other relevant trade details. • Publicly post proof on X with a brief explainer of what happened and how FX100 protected you, tagging @FX100Perp. If you’re participating in both events, submit two separate posts. • Share a link to your X post(s) as a reply in the @aladdindao Discord’s “WEEKLY CHALLENGE 4: REAL WORLD EDITION” thread by the deadline below. Rewards • CLARITY Act: 10,000 XP. • FOMC: 10,000 XP. • Both: 20,000 XP. Timeline • Submit your Discord proof by Friday, September 18, 2026. Enter FX100’s Brief Week Four Testnet Arena While nobody knows the CLARITY Act’s fate or the Fed’s next move, this novel fifteen-minute cushion is built to survive doubt. Use these two events to prove it by opening position(s), embracing unpredictability, and capturing your save before the short window closes: testnet.fx100.club/trade.

BULK Invite-Only Mainnet Is Officially Live The wait has finally ended. After months of testnet trading, feedback, and bug reports, @bulktrade has reached mainnet—though there’s a catch: access remains invite-only. But if you’ve pre-deposited USDC, that balance has been converted into live margin. You also received a weekly batch of shareable tiered mainnet access codes sized to your total pre-deposit amount. Live BULK Mainnet Features • Top crypto markets: Twenty USDC-margined perp markets are live, including AAVE, BNB, BTC, DOGE, ENA, ETH, FARTCOIN, HYPE, JTO, JUP, LIT, MEGA, MON, NEAR, SOL, SUI, TAO, XPL, XRP, and ZEC. More listings and deployer-owned markets through BIP-1 are coming soon. • True SPAN-style portfolio margining (an on-chain industry first): Risk is measured across your whole portfolio rather than each isolated position. Correlations and hedges count, so a long/short pair can use up to 70% less margin than an isolated one. • Limit and conditional orders: A full CLOB supports market and limit orders, GTC/IOC/ALO (post-only), plus stop, take-profit, OCO range, trailing, trigger, and on-fill TP/SL orders. • Sub-accounts: Divide one master wallet into up to 64 independent sub-accounts, each with its own margin, positions, orders, and risk profile. One sub-account liquidation doesn’t affect your master or auxiliary accounts. • Full trading history: Track every fill, funding payment, transfer, and position change through the platform, providing a detailed record of your BULK activity. • Portfolio page: Monitor your account and daily performance; one view for equity, margin usage, unrealized PnL, and day-to-day results across the book. • Referral program: If you’ve deposited USDC before mainnet launch, receive weekly access codes based on your final deposit tier and earn AURA from your referral volume; codes reset weekly and don’t roll over. Claim Access Before This Week’s Codes Reset BULK’s mainnet launch transforms this @solana perp DEX from an ambitious testnet into a live trading venue, with portfolio-level risk management, a CLOB, extensive conditional-order functionality, and isolated sub-accounts available from day one. The invite-only rollout means access stays limited, but with new markets and BIP-1 deployer markets in development, mainnet looks more like the beginning of its next phase than the finish line: app.bulk.trade/

FX100 Weekly Challenge #3: Full Send FX100’s third weekly trading quest has arrived, this time swapping precision for pure conviction, daring you to chase triple-digit gains at heavy leverage. Goal The premise seems simple, but pulling it off remains another story: land a 50x or higher leveraged BTC or ETH trade hitting 100% PnL or more. There’s no room for hedging; it’s a high-leverage, high-conviction play built for traders willing to take on real risk for real reward. Rules • Open any BTC or ETH position. • Use 50x leverage or more. • Post a clear screenshot of your asset, leverage, and +100% PnL in the @aladdindao Discord’s “testnet-arena” channel, within the “WEEKLY CHALLENGE 3: FULL SEND” thread. Rewards • Complete the challenge: 3,000 XP. • Reach one of the three highest qualifying PnLs: 7,000 XP (bonus). Timeline • The challenge closes next Monday, September 14, 2026, at 2pm UTC. Enter FX100’s Week Three Testnet Arena Whereas last week’s challenge rewarded precise control, this week repays cold nerve. It’s a straightforward, full-throttle play, so go big or go home. Ready to take the massive leverage plunge? Head to the @FX100Perp testnet to open your risky BTC or ETH position, and hold on tight: testnet.fx100.club/trade.
