WEEX Launches AI Hackathon Event With 1 BTC Prize Pool

Event Timeline and Who Can Take Part

The AI Hackathon runs from January 14 at 16:00 UTC through January 26 at 15:59 UTC. While the prediction element is open more broadly, the trading-based rewards are reserved for new users who sign up within a specific window earlier in the campaign period.

Only USDT-M futures trading volume generated during the event window is counted. Trades involving Coin-M contracts, zero-fee activity, or stablecoin pairs such as USDC to USDT are excluded.

Event 1: Predict the Outcome, Unlock Mystery Rewards

The first phase focuses on prediction. Once the AI Wars prelim teams are announced, participants submit their picks through the official form. Correct predictions qualify users for a Mystery Box lucky draw.

Prizes in this phase range from futures trading bonuses and position airdrops to limited WEEX merchandise. Importantly, completing Event 1 is not optional. Users must take part in the prediction challenge to qualify for the BTC reward pools in later stages.

This requirement sets the tone for the entire campaign. WEEX is positioning the event as skill-informed rather than purely transactional.

Event 2: Deposit and Trade to Share 0.7 BTC

The largest share of the prize pool sits in Event 2. A total of 0.7 BTC has been allocated to new users who complete two tasks during the campaign.

To qualify, participants must deposit at least 200 USDT and generate a minimum of 1,000 USDT in futures trading volume. Both conditions must be met, and only net deposits and eligible trades placed after registration are counted.

The reward structure is simple and transparent. All users who complete both tasks split the 0.7 BTC pool equally. If ten users qualify, each receives 0.07 BTC. If one hundred users qualify, each share adjusts accordingly.

This proportional model removes guesswork and keeps incentives aligned. There are no tiered leaderboards or last-minute volume spikes needed to compete.

Event 3: Referral Rewards With a Separate 0.3 BTC Pool

WEEX has reserved the remaining 0.3 BTC for referrals. Users who invite friends to participate in Event 2 earn a share of this pool once their invitees complete the required deposit and trading tasks.

The structure benefits both sides. Invited users earn from the 0.7 BTC pool, while referrers earn from the separate referral allocation. This avoids dilution and gives participants a clear reason to bring others into the event.

Reward Distribution and Compliance Rules

All rewards are scheduled to be distributed within seven working days after the event concludes. BTC payouts will be calculated based on the market price on the day of distribution, not at the time of completion.

WEEX has emphasized strict compliance. Any form of wash trading, account manipulation, or coordinated activity flagged by the platform’s risk controls will result in disqualification. Accounts found to be acting in collusion will be removed from the event entirely, with rewards revoked.

These rules align the campaign with industry standards and reflect a growing focus on fair play in exchange-led promotions.

Why AI-Focused Trading Events Are Gaining Traction

The AI Hackathon arrives as traders increasingly look for tools that reduce reliance on instinct alone. Prediction-based formats have gained traction because they reward analysis and timing rather than constant exposure to volatility.

By combining AI-assisted insights with defined trading thresholds, WEEX has created a campaign that lowers the psychological barrier for newer users while still rewarding meaningful participation.
