Everything you need to join a competition, stay eligible on the leaderboard, or launch your own tournament on LIQD.
You can browse competitions without an account. Sign in with X only when a competition requires it.
Pick a competition
From the home page, open a tournament and read its entry range, deposit cap, and schedule on the join page before you enter.
Meet any entry requirements
Some competitions require a verified X account and/or sharing the competition on X before you can submit your entry. Connect X on the join page when prompted — LIQD uses read-only OAuth and never posts for you.
Submit your Hyperliquid wallet
Enter the wallet address you will trade from. LIQD reads your balance from the public Hyperliquid API — we never ask for signatures or hold funds.
Register before start (recommended)
If you join before the competition starts, you appear as Pending until the clock hits zero. Use that window to move your equity into the required entry range.
Rankings are based on real Hyperliquid data. Breaking the rules below can leave you ineligible or disqualified — even if you joined early.
When the competition starts, LIQD snapshots your account equity and checks it against the organizer's minimum and/or maximum entry size. Deposits and withdrawals before start are fine — only your equity at the start moment counts.
If you are outside the range, your status becomes Not eligible and you will not appear in the ranked leaderboard.
Many competitions cap how much net USDC you may add after the start time. If you deposit more than the cap, you are automatically Disqualified. A cap of $0 means no deposits at all during the contest — only trading PnL counts.
If no cap is set, deposits are allowed and net inflows are subtracted from your PnL so rankings reflect trading performance, not fresh capital.
Your baseline is locked at competition start. Ongoing PnL is:
current equity − baseline equity − net deposits since start
ROI (profit %) is PnL divided by your baseline equity. The leaderboard ranks active traders by ROI.
Organizers sign in with X, configure rules, share on X to go live, then manage entrants from the dashboard.
Sign in and open the dashboard
Use Enter the arena to sign in with X, then go to New competition.
Set schedule, entry rules, and prizes
Choose start and end times, entry range (min/max equity), optional max deposit cap, and prize tiers. Under Required fields & display, decide whether entrants need verified X, must share on X before joining, and whether wallets are masked on the public leaderboard.
Save as draft, then share on X
New competitions start as Draft. After saving, you'll land on the launch page — post the pre-filled tweet, then click Activate competition to publish it and open entries.
Manage your event
From your dashboard you can edit settings, view the public leaderboard, and review entrant statuses (pending, active, ineligible, disqualified).
No. LIQD only reads public Hyperliquid account data. You keep full custody of your wallet at all times.
At competition start (within about 30 seconds of the start time). Everyone who registered early moves from Pending to Active or Not eligible based on their equity at that moment.
Yes. Adjust your balance freely until start. Only your equity when the competition begins determines whether you meet the entry range.
Late entries are allowed while the event is still open (before end time). Eligibility is checked immediately against the entry range. For the fairest experience, organizers and traders usually register before start so equity can be positioned in advance.
Your wallet equity at start was below the minimum and/or above the maximum entry size for that competition. Check the reason shown on the leaderboard and the entry range on the join page.
You exceeded the max deposit cap — net USDC added to your wallet after start was above what the organizer allowed. With a $0 cap, any deposit during the contest disqualifies you.
It depends on the competition. Organizers can toggle Include spot USDC in equity. When off, only perps margin is used. Check the competition details before you join.
When joining, you can choose whether your wallet address is public. Some competitions default to masked addresses — you can opt in to show yours if you want credit on Hyperdash links.
Stats refresh automatically when you view a competition page, about once per minute when data is stale. Rankings follow ROI among active entrants.
No. Each wallet and each verified X account can only enter once per competition.
Only if the organizer enabled Require entrants to share the competition on X before joining. You post the tweet yourself and confirm on the join page — LIQD does not auto-post.
Yes — open it from your dashboard and use Edit. Be careful changing entry rules mid-event; entrants joined under the rules shown when they registered.
Draft competitions are not public and do not accept entries. After you share on X and activate, status becomes Active and traders can join until the end time.
