Dexari, the mobile-first self-custodial trading app powered by Hyperliquid, just dropped news of a massive new event the Gladiator Arena: ROI Trading Competition. Kicking off on October 1st, this month-long showdown puts performance front and center, ranking traders purely on their return on investment (ROI). No entry fees, no complicated rules just skill, strategy, and the chance to walk away with a serious payday.
A Million-Dollar Arena for Traders
The prize pool starts at $100,000 USDC, but it can grow fast. For every $1 billion in trading volume during the competition, Dexari will add another $50,000 to the pot all the way up to $1 million. First place takes home 35% of the total, meaning a possible $350,000 for the top performer if the pool maxes out.
That kind of upside, paired with no entry cost, makes the Gladiator Arena one of the most accessible big-money trading contests in DeFi right now. And on top of that, all participants earn 2x Dexari Points during the event, boosting their overall app rewards and long-term perks.
It doesn’t stop there. Dexari has lined up a bunch of partners from the Hyperliquid ecosystem like Hypio, PiP, Pear Protocol, Otties, Locals Only, Hyperpie, and Racks.win each offering their own side rewards. So even if you’re not topping the leaderboard, there are still plenty of ways to win along the way.
Community at the Core
“Dexari is about bringing professional-grade trading features to users through an easy-to-use, self-custodial mobile app,” said Chuck Bradford, CEO and Co-Founder of Dexari. “With the Gladiator Arena, traders get a stage to prove themselves, and affiliates can rally their communities to grow and compete together.”
Alongside the competition, Dexari is rolling out its new Affiliate Program, designed to make trading a shared win. Affiliates can earn up to 80% of trading fees from users they refer, thanks to a two-tier system. And here’s a fun twist whoever refers the competition’s top trader will snag an extra $10,000 USDC bonus.
Everything happens transparently inside the app, with clear tracking for referral stats, rewards, and commissions. The idea is simple: help your network get started, trade well, and everyone earns together.
Big Momentum, Bigger Ambitions
Since launching on the App Store and Google Play in July 2025, Dexari has already cleared $1.5 billion in trading volume with more than 150,000 orders placed. The team says this early traction shows real demand for powerful, mobile-first trading tools that don’t compromise on self-custody or performance.
Next up, Dexari will be out meeting traders and partners at Token 2049 in Singapore (September 30 – October 3) and DevConnect in Argentina (November 12 – 17), giving users a chance to connect with the team in person.
With a prize pool that could hit seven figures, strong ecosystem support, and a community-first approach, the Gladiator Arena is shaping up to be more than just a trading competition it’s Dexari’s way of turning DeFi into a truly social, performance-driven experience.
