Manic Beta Trading Tournament: User Guide

👋 Hey Manic Trader. The Beta Trading Tournament is live, and it comes with the biggest change to Manic since Open Beta. Everything you already know about momentum trading stays exactly where you left it. What is new: Polymarket prediction markets are now integrated into Manic, inside the same terminal.

This guide covers the full rules, schedule, ranking logic, and fund mechanics. Read it before you start, then go compete.

👉 Start on Manic.Trade: https://app.manic.trade/pm

1. Timeline & Prize Pool

Schedule

• Tournament window: July 1, 2026 → July 29, 2026
• Settlement and distribution: within 3 days after the tournament ends

The leaderboards track performance from the start of the tournament and update in near real time. The final ranking locks precisely at the end of the tournament window.

Prize Pool

The Beta Trading Tournament runs two independent leaderboards, each with its own prize pool, all paid in real USDC.

• PnL Leaderboard → $1,000 pool
• Volume Leaderboard → $1,000 pool
• Total → $2,000 in real USDC

Prize Distribution (Top 10 on each board)

The Top 10 traders on each leaderboard win. The same distribution applies to both boards.

The two boards are independent, so a single trader can place on both and win from both pools.

2. What Is New in Beta

Manic Beta brings two markets under one roof.

Momentum markets (unchanged)

Your Manic momentum trading works exactly as before. Same HIGHER / LOWER format, same real time on chain pricing powered by Pyth, same fast execution and clear position tracking. Nothing you learned in earlier phases goes to waste.

• Assets: BTC, ETH, SOL
• Duration: 1 to 5 minutes
• Payout multiplier: up to 3x (no margin calls, no liquidations, your maximum risk is the amount you enter)

Polymarket markets (new)

Polymarket prediction markets are now integrated into Manic and verified by @PolymarketDevs. Manic connects directly to the Polymarket API, so every Polymarket trade you place is settled inside Polymarket's own liquidity pool, while still counting toward the tournament.

• Assets: BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, HYPE, BNB
• Duration: 5 minutes to 4 hours

One interface

One BTC view, two ways to trade it. Enter faster, hedge exposure, compare pricing across markets, and look for cross market setups without leaving the terminal. Momentum and prediction markets, side by side.

3. Two Leaderboards & How Ranking Works

Your trades count on both boards. Momentum trades and Polymarket trades placed on the same account are combined into your totals.

PnL Leaderboard

• Metric: total profit and loss, measured by absolute USDC amount
• Rewards skill and timing

Volume Leaderboard

• Metric: total trading volume, measured by the order amount when you open a trade
• Leverage and payout multipliers do NOT increase counted volume. A 10 USDC trade at 3x still counts as 10 USDC.
• Rewards activity, no ranking edge required to climb

How the two markets combine

Manic sums both trading modes under the same account. Whether your volume or PnL comes from momentum trades or Polymarket trades, it all rolls up into your position on each board. You do not need to choose one market. Trade both, and both contribute.

The two boards are fully independent, so you can rank on one, the other, or both.

5. How to Deposit

All trading in this tournament uses real funds, settled in USDC on Solana.

Manic and Polymarket have separate deposit paths. You fund each one individually, and you can transfer between your Manic account and your Polymarket sub account inside the app.

Manic deposit

• Supported asset: USDC on Solana
• Minimum deposit: 10 USDC

Polymarket deposit

• Supported asset: USDC on Solana
• Minimum deposit: 2 USDC
• Funds are credited to your Polymarket sub account

Deposit steps

1. Enter the app and click Deposit.
2. Choose the destination: Manic or Polymarket.
3. Confirm the supported token and chain: USDC on Solana.
4. Scan the QR code or copy your deposit address.
5. Send at least the minimum from your external wallet. Once confirmed, the funds are credited to your balance.

Make sure you are sending USDC on Solana mainnet. Deposits made with unsupported assets or networks may not be credited.

6. Incentive Tasks & Bonus Credits

First, do not confuse two things that both involve volume:

• Volume Leaderboard (this tournament): a ranked Top 10 competition for the $1,000 volume pool, paid in real USDC.
• Incentive Tasks (ongoing Open Beta system): complete tasks and hit milestones to earn Bonus Credits, no ranking required.

Both run at the same time, and they are independent. You can climb the tournament leaderboards and earn task rewards in parallel.

What Bonus Credits are

Bonus Credits are your Manic Card balance. You earn them by completing tasks such as Sign Up, Bind X, First Deposit Match, Daily Check in, Cumulative Trading Milestones, and referrals. They are not the same as your wallet USDC, but they can become withdrawable USDC.

What Bonus Credits do

Bonus Credits do two things:

1. Trade with them. Turn on Use Bonus Credits in the trading panel and your trade is paid from your Manic Card instead of your wallet USDC. Wins grow your Card Balance. Losses only spend the credits used, and your own USDC stays untouched. This lets you trade on house fuel while keeping your principal aside.
2. Convert into withdrawable USDC. Only real USDC trades convert Bonus Credits into withdrawable funds. For every $20 in real USDC trading volume, $1 of your Card Balance becomes withdrawable. Trades paid with Bonus Credits earn more Bonus Credits but do not count toward this conversion. Once converted, open the Withdraw popup and the amount is airdropped to your Real Account within 24 hours.

Where to see the full task list

The complete Incentive Task System, including exact reward amounts, the First Deposit Match table, the Daily Check in streak, Cumulative Trading Milestones, and referral rewards, is documented in the Open Beta User Guide:

7. Prize Distribution & Airdrop

• The Top 10 traders on each leaderboard win, per the distribution in Section 1.
• Prizes are paid in real USDC.
• Prize money is airdropped directly to the account connected to your participation within 3 days after the tournament ends.

8. Anti-Cheating Policy

To keep the Beta Trading Tournament fair for all participants, any form of cheating or abuse is strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, using related or controlled accounts to manipulate rankings, rewards, invites, or trading activity.

If we detect linked account abuse, reward farming, fake referrals, or any other suspicious behavior, Manic reserves the right to disqualify the account, remove rewards, and permanently ban the related accounts from the campaign and product.

9. Risk Disclosure

The Beta Trading Tournament uses real funds. Any trade involves real money risk.

• Momentum markets can be highly volatile within 1 to 5 minutes.
• Payout multipliers increase both potential return and risk.
• Polymarket trades settle in Polymarket's liquidity pool and carry their own market risk.
• Oracle, settlement, and withdrawal rules may change during Beta.
• Do not deposit or trade more than you can afford to lose.

Nothing in this guide should be considered financial advice.
