What the selected National Trader is
Pre-selected roster
National traders are not self-registered. They are identified and invited by 0x1 based on on-chain trading history on Aster. An invitation does not guarantee a spot — and accept the team agreement before the season opens.
Anchor traders
National team traders serve as the anchor for their country’s leaderboard presence. Their realized PnL forms the core of the country score, and they are the primary profiles that followers discover when they visit the Partnership tab.
More Benefits
Top 3 PnL National Traders will have Official ASTER Ambassador selection, VIP access to ASTER/Binance/BNB Chain events, and eligibility as a panelist or speaker, Ongoing social media promotions etc.
Visibility
National traders are featured prominently in the 0x1 leaderboard during the season window, with a country badge and team affiliation visible to all followers.
Selection criteria
0x1 evaluates potential national traders across four dimensions. All dimensions are derived from publicly verifiable on-chain data on Aster.Realized PnL consistency
Realized PnL consistency
Not the single best month, but PnL stability across the 90 days prior to selection. A trader with three consecutive positive months at moderate size ranks above a mirror trader with one outsized month followed by two drawdowns.
Volume and activity
Volume and activity
A minimum cumulative volume threshold (TBA USDT notional, 90-day window) ensures national traders are active, liquid traders — not low-frequency outliers who happened to get one trade right.
Drawdown profile
Drawdown profile
Maximum drawdown in the selection window must be below TBA%. Traders who consistently blow through loss limits are not appropriate anchors for followers who mirror them.
Win rate
Win rate
Minimum TBA% win rate on closed positions in the selection window. Win rate alone is not sufficient (a 100% win rate on tiny positions with one catastrophic loss is not good), but it is a necessary baseline.
Roles within the national team
- Team captain
- Team member
One trader per national team is designated captain. The captain’s profile is the primary feature placement in the Partnership tab. The captain has no special scoring weight — the designation is representational and carries a higher individual prize allocation. Captains are selected from the national roster by the 0x1 team.
Team size
Each national team consists of 11 traders. The roster is finalized and published at least 7 days before the season start date. Once the season opens, the roster is locked — no additions or substitutions are permitted mid-season.If a national team member is disqualified during the season, their contribution is removed from the team score retroactively from the point of violation. The remaining team members’ contributions are not affected. No substitution is permitted.
Accepting a national team invitation
Receive invitation
If selected, you will receive a direct communication from the 0x1 team via the contact method associated with your Aster account or 0x1 profile. Invitations go out TBA weeks before the season opens.
