Trading competitions are one of Kline0's most important growth and infrastructure layers.

Projects want traders. Exchanges want activity. Traders want opportunity. Creators want campaigns worth promoting. Kline0 connects these groups through structured competitions and leaderboards.

## What Kline0 enables

A project can use Kline0 to run a trading competition around a listed token, TGE, campaign, market expansion, or community activation.

A typical Kline0 trading competition may include:

* Eligible token or trading pairs
* Supported exchanges and venues
* Start and end dates
* Reward pool
* Leaderboard rules
* Minimum volume or activity requirements
* Creator content tasks
* Referral boosts
* Anti-abuse checks
* Final ranking and reporting

KlineO can support multiple leaderboard types.

| Leaderboard type          | Best use case                                                     |

| Risk-adjusted leaderboard | More disciplined competition formats.                             |
| Hybrid leaderboard        | Combines volume, PnL, consistency, creator tasks, and referrals.  |
| Creator leaderboard       | Tracks content contribution and campaign visibility.              |

Instead of running only social tasks or only exchange-side competitions, projects can coordinate both trading participation and social visibility through one Kline0 campaign framework.

## Why this is important for exchanges

Exchanges and trading venues can benefit from KlineO campaigns because KlineO can bring:

* Organized trading participation
* Creator-led attention
* Campaign traffic
* Market visibility
* Trader onboarding
* Partner-facing reports
* More reasons for projects to activate on connected venues

## Competition integrity

Kline0 competition design should include:

* Clear eligibility rules
* Transparent scoring logic
* Minimum activity thresholds
* Suspicious activity checks
* Duplicate behavior detection
* Wash-trading review where applicable
* Risk-aware scoring options
* Manual review for final reward approval where needed
