Blast testnet trading contest ends with 2,892 active users and $76M trading volume
Marginly’s latest testnet trading contest was a precursor for the upcoming mainnet deployment on Blast network. Let’s see how it panned out.
The format remained consistent and involved a PnL leaderboard competition across 2 weeks. There were 5 pools available to traders with a mix of blue chips and meme coins. Maximum allowed leverage was 20x for blue chips and 5x for LINK and meme coins.
Let’s take a look at the trading volume distribution by pool:
The lion’s share of trading volume went to ETH and BTC pools (91.47%) with LINK, DOGE, and PEPE contributing just 8.53%. Some of the factors in play here are available leverage, liquidity depth and selected assets’ price action during the competition.
The users per pool data is shows significantly less ETHand BTC dominance (66.43% compared to 91.47%)
While 33.57% of users traded in non-blue chip pools, they generated just 8.53% of the total trading volume. This means that while many traders tried and tested these pools, the vast majority of the trading and gains were made in ETH and BTC pools.
