Contest Rules
These rules explain how the Monorail Open 2026 contest works. By entering or accepting the contest terms, you also accept the Monorail Terms of Service. The contest terms add to, and do not replace, those primary terms.
The contest
- The contest runs from Monday, 31 August 2026 at 12:00 UTC to Friday, 4 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC.
- All times and campaign days use UTC. Live results remain provisional until Monorail confirms the final results.
How to enter
- Connect and verify your wallet, connect X, accept the contest terms, and make an eligible swap.
- Only swaps through eligible Monorail contracts count. Both sides must appear on the eligible-token list. Direct MON-to-WMON swaps and wrap/unwrap operations do not count.
- Monorail's internal pricing is the official source for the USD values used in volume, scoring, unlocks, and PnL.
Global leaderboard
- Raw volume is the USD input value of each eligible swap before a pair multiplier is applied.
- Adjusted volume is the sum of each eligible swap's raw volume after its pair multiplier. Stable-to-stable, MON or WMON-to-LST, and LST-to-LST volume receives a 0.7 multiplier. Other eligible volume receives a 1.0 multiplier.
- Volume score is the point value produced when adjusted volume is entered into the scoring curve below.
- Your contest score is volume score plus referral points and consistency points. Prize unlock thresholds use raw volume, not adjusted volume or volume score.
- Ties are decided by adjusted volume and then the earliest eligible contest swap.
Bonus points
- Consistency: earn 25 points for each UTC campaign day with an eligible swap, up to 125 points.
- Referrals: a referral qualifies after the referred wallet connects X, accepts the terms, and reaches $100 in raw volume. It creates one referral credit for each wallet.
- Each credit gives a wallet 25 referral points plus the early bonus for the UTC day on which the referred wallet completes all qualification steps.
- Early referral bonus: Monday +10, Tuesday +7, Wednesday +5, Thursday +2, and Friday +0.
- Only a wallet's first five referral credits count, whether it referred another wallet or was referred. The maximum is 175 referral points. Referral attribution cannot be changed.
Prizes and unlocks
- Guaranteed: the final global leaderboard winner receives the first Monad Open Singapore package.
- $500,000 raw volume: unlock the full global leaderboard.
- $1 million: merch for the first five members of the final global top 10 to complete the five-day streak.
- $2 million: the wallet that crosses the threshold can permanently etch its name into a Monorail contract.
- $3 million: five $100 memecoin rewards for the top five wallets by raw eligible memecoin volume.
- $5 million: Monad NFTs for the wallets at global positions 33, 74, 87, 134, and 151.
- $7.5 million: a second Singapore package for the highest PnL trader in the final global top 20.
Prize leaderboards
- Memecoin rank uses raw USD volume from swaps where either side is classified as Meme on the eligible-token list. A meme-to-meme swap counts once.
- PnL uses only your eligible contest swaps, not wallet balances or outside activity. Introduced capital is the USD value brought into the synthetic PnL portfolio through those swaps. You need at least $100 of introduced capital and a final global top-20 position.
- PnL percentage ranks from highest to lowest, including negative results. Final PnL uses the final price snapshot that Monorail captures after the contest ends.
Fair play and final results
- Wash trading, multiple-account abuse, bots, manipulation, fraud, and attempts to bypass eligibility controls can result in disqualification.
- The backend implementation and Monorail's records are the source of truth. Monorail may correct data and may change, suspend, or end the contest without prior notice.
Contest Terms and Conditions
These Terms and Conditions apply to the Monorail Open 2026 trading contest. They are additional to the Monorail Terms of Service. By entering, participating, or accepting these contest terms, you also confirm that you have read and accepted the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. If these contest terms conflict with the Terms of Service about this contest, these contest terms apply to that issue.
1. Contest eligibility
- You must not participate from a jurisdiction where the contest, trading activity, or receipt of a prize is unlawful.
- Directors, employees, and contractors of Monorail, and their spouses, domestic partners, parents, children, siblings, and household members, cannot participate.
- Only one participating identity is permitted per person. Using multiple wallets or X accounts to obtain an unfair advantage is prohibited.
The contest is void where prohibited. Monorail may request information reasonably needed to confirm identity, location, sanctions status, and prize eligibility.
2. Contest period and entry
The contest starts on 31 August 2026 at 12:00 UTC and ends on 4 September 2026 at 12:00 UTC. All times, campaign days, cutoffs, and records use UTC.
To enter, you must verify a wallet, connect an X account, accept these terms, and make an eligible swap. Blockchain confirmation times and Monorail's indexed records determine when a swap occurred.
3. Eligible activity and scoring
- Only swaps completed through eligible Monorail contracts during the contest period count.
- Both tokens must be on the eligible-token list. Direct native MON-to-WMON swaps and wrap or unwrap operations do not count.
- Raw volume means the USD input value of each eligible swap before a pair multiplier is applied.
- Adjusted volume means the sum of each eligible swap's raw volume after its applicable pair multiplier is applied.
- Volume score uses the formula 1,000 ÷ (1 + (9,000 ÷ adjusted volume)0.55).
- Stable-to-stable, native MON or WMON-to-LST, and LST-to-LST swaps use a 0.7 volume multiplier. Other eligible swaps use a 1.0 multiplier.
- Contest score is volume score plus referral points and consistency points.
- Raw volume determines prize unlock thresholds and referral qualification.
- You receive 25 consistency points for each UTC campaign day with an eligible swap, up to 125 points.
- A referral qualifies when the referred wallet has connected X, accepted the terms, and reached $100 in raw volume. This creates one referral credit for the referrer and one for the referred wallet.
- Each credit gives a wallet 25 referral points plus the bonus for the UTC day on which the referred wallet completes all qualification steps: Monday 10, Tuesday 7, Wednesday 5, Thursday 2, and Friday 0.
- Only a wallet's first five referral credits count, whether it referred another wallet or was referred. Referral attribution is final and cannot be replaced.
Global rank is ordered by total contest score, adjusted volume, and then the earliest eligible contest swap.
4. Prize unlocks
- The first Monad Open Singapore package is guaranteed for the eligible final global leaderboard winner.
- At $500,000 in raw campaign volume, the full global leaderboard unlocks.
- At $1 million, merch unlocks for the first five members of the final global top 10 to complete the five-day streak.
- At $2 million, the wallet whose eligible swap first crosses the threshold can permanently etch an approved name into a Monorail contract.
- At $3 million, five prizes of $100 in memecoin tokens unlock for the top five eligible wallets by raw memecoin volume.
- At $5 million, five Monad NFTs unlock for the eligible wallets at final global positions 33, 74, 87, 134, and 151.
- At $7.5 million, a second Singapore package unlocks for the highest PnL trader among eligible wallets in the final global top 20.
Except for the guaranteed first Singapore package, a prize does not become available unless its threshold is reached before the contest ends.
5. Prize-specific calculations
Memecoin rank uses the raw USD input value of eligible swaps where either token is classified as Meme on the eligible-token list. A meme-to-meme swap counts once.
PnL uses a synthetic portfolio made only from eligible contest swaps. Introduced capital is the USD value brought into that synthetic portfolio through those swaps. Wallet balances, transfers, deposits, withdrawals, and activity outside Monorail do not count. A PnL participant must introduce at least $100 of capital, be in the final global top 20, connect X, accept the terms, and have a valid final PnL percentage.
PnL ranks from highest to lowest, including negative results. Ties are resolved by total USD PnL, final global contest score, and then adjusted volume. Final PnL uses the final price snapshot that Monorail captures after the contest ends.
6. Prices, data, and final results
Monorail's internal price source, indexed blockchain data, backend implementation, and database records are the official sources for eligibility, volume, scores, PnL, rankings, and unlocks. Displayed values and live leaderboards are provisional.
Monorail may correct missing, duplicate, invalid, delayed, or out-of-order data before finalization. Monorail's final certification of the results is conclusive, subject to applicable law and correction of a clear error.
7. Winner verification and claims
Potential winners must remain eligible and complete any reasonable identity, sanctions, tax, wallet-control, and compliance checks. Monorail may contact a winner through the connected X account or another verified contact method.
A Singapore package winner must accept the prize and complete all required documents, including the travel waiver, by 12:00 UTC on Monday, 7 September 2026. If the winner does not do so, is not eligible, cannot be contacted, or rejects the prize, the package passes to the next eligible participant in the applicable final ranking.
For other prizes, a potential winner must respond within the period stated in Monorail's prize notice. Failure to respond or complete required checks can result in forfeiture and selection of the next eligible recipient where applicable.

9. General prize conditions
Prizes are personal, non-transferable, non-refundable, and cannot be exchanged for cash. Monorail may substitute a prize with an item of reasonably equivalent value if the stated prize is unavailable.

Monorail may investigate activity, exclude transactions, adjust results, withhold a prize, suspend an account, or disqualify a participant when it reasonably believes these terms were breached.
12. Publicity and contest data
Wallet addresses, connected X usernames, leaderboard positions, scores, prize status, and winner details may be displayed publicly for contest operation and transparency. Personal data is otherwise handled under Monorail's platform privacy policy and applicable law.

Monorail may change these terms, correct the contest, suspend entry or scoring, replace a prize, or end the contest without prior notice when reasonably necessary for security, integrity, legal compliance, technical failure, force majeure, or circumstances outside Monorail's reasonable control.
Where practical, material changes will be published on the contest page. Continued participation after a change means acceptance of the updated terms, subject to applicable law.
