How TradeStars Works

Traditional fantasy sports make you lock a lineup and hope for the best. TradeStars gives you an always-open market. Buy and sell player shares throughout the week, including during live matches, and react to goals, injuries, team news, and momentum in real time. The best-managed portfolio at the end of the week wins.

It’s fantasy sports meets a live trading floor. No luck-of-the-draw lineups. Just your reads, your timing, and your strategy.

A Week in TradeStars

  1. Enter an arena — pay 10 USDC to join a weekly contest for a league you follow. You get 1,000 virtual credits to trade with.
  2. Buy player shares — use your credits to build a portfolio before matches kick off. Player prices move based on demand, so timing matters.
  3. Trade through the week (live included) — rebalance before, during, and after fixtures. Recycle credits into players with the best upcoming upside.
  4. Score updates fairly during live games — your score updates when official stats refresh. During live games, new buys/sells count from the next refresh so everyone plays on equal footing.
  5. Top the leaderboard — the top 3 portfolios split the prize pool.

The key difference: You can trade live, but scoring catches up on the next official stats refresh. Speed still matters, but feed-delay sniping doesn’t.

Each arena costs 10 USDC to enter. You get 1,000 virtual credits to trade with — buy player shares, rebalance live, and recycle credits across fixture windows. At the end of the week, the top 3 portfolios split the prize pool (50% / 30% / 20%). All payouts settle on Solana — fully transparent, fully on-chain.

TradeStars currently supports Football and Cricket (T20), with new leagues added regularly.
