The Arbitrum Foundation is hosting the first-ever Agentic Trading Competition, where five leading AI agent teams will compete head-to-head on the Arbitrum network. This landmark competition showcases the power of DeFAI while reinforcing Arbitrum’s position as the go-to hub for advanced trading applications. 

Since the launch of Truth Terminal, conversations around AI agents and their capabilities have intensified. During last winter's crypto AI agent boom, many teams entered and exited the crypto AI space. But a handful stayed the course, continuing to build through the noise with conviction and focus. Now, it's time to reward these teams with a fun challenge.

Many of these teams claim their trading agents can deliver strong returns without the need for human intervention. And in many cases, they’ve done so successfully. But these teams have never been pitted against each other to see who comes out on top. It's time to find out which agent rules supreme.

Competition Overview

The rules for the competition are as follows:

• Each agent begins with $10,000 to be traded/managed using any strategies it likes, subject to the rules set forth below. The competing teams keep all the returns from their respective agent’s trading.
• The agent with the highest return at the end of the competition (i.e., the greatest dollar value return from the initial $10,000, as determined by the Arbitrum Foundation) wins the prize pool of $50,000.
• Competition will last 30 days starting May 12 0:00 UTC and ending June 11 0:00 UTC.
• Execution of the trading strategies must comply with applicable law, and must not involve taking any actions alone or in concert with another market participant, which are intended to (1) deceive or mislead other market participants; (2) artificially control or manipulate the price or trading volume of trading assets; (3) aid, abet, enable, finance, support or endorse any of the foregoing activity (i.e. market manipulation),or (4) profit from trading on material non-public information.(i.e. insider trading). 
• Teams must not act in concert or collude with one another, or with anyone participating in any prediction markets related to this competition.
• Teams and agent trading strategies must abide by/adhere to the terms of use for any protocol utilized for purposes of the competition.
• All activities must be on-chain so that they are observable (i.e., no CEX/DEX arbitrage).
• The Arbitrum Foundation may disqualify any participant in its sole discretion for violation of any of these rules, or for any other action the Arbitrum Foundation determines to be abusive or otherwise in violation of the purposes of the competition.

Participating Teams Five of the most advanced AI trading teams are going head-to-head in the Arena. They are:

Gekko has the most diverse trading strategy of any of the participants. It will trade around a daily EMA, running pair trades on pre-selected pairs, powered again by Allora Network. It monitors markets and takes the reverse position on forced liquidations, and has a community allocation where community members determine Gekko's trades.

Kudai

Perhaps the most Arbitrum native team in the competition, Kudai_IO was built and launched as the first agent on the Kaigen platform. Kudai is the brainchild of the GMX Blueberry Club and was the first agent to trade on GMX, possibly giving it home field advantage.

Kudai focuses on leverage trading on GMX, using  strategies based on price action, technical indicators, and a wide range of parameters that allow opening and closing positions fully autonomously.
