WEEX Rolls Out AI Hackathon With 1 BTC in Rewards as Prediction Trading Takes Center Stage

WEEX has just opened the doors to a new trading competition that blends artificial intelligence, market prediction, and futures activity into a single, tightly controlled event. The exchange has launched its AI Hackathon, giving participants the opportunity to earn a share of 1 BTC by combining informed forecasts with real trading activity.

The campaign is now live and runs through January 26, positioning itself less as a high-risk volume race and more as a structured challenge built around decision-making and timing.

A Different Kind of Trading Campaign

Unlike traditional exchange promotions that reward raw turnover, WEEX has anchored this event around participation quality. Users must begin with a prediction task before they can access any BTC rewards, a move that signals a shift toward skill-based engagement.

Only trades and deposits made after registering for the event are counted, keeping the playing field clean and time-bound.

Event Schedule and Eligibility

The WEEX AI Hackathon runs from January 14 at 16:00 UTC until January 26 at 15:59 UTC. While the prediction phase is open to all registered participants, the trading reward pools are limited to new users who signed up during the campaign’s eligibility window.

All qualifying trades must be placed on USDT-M futures pairs. Coin-M contracts, zero-fee trades, and stablecoin pairs are excluded.

Event 1: Predictions Open the Door

The first step is straightforward. Once the AI Wars preliminary teams are announced, participants submit their predictions through the official form. Those who guess correctly gain entry into a Mystery Box draw.

Rewards in this phase include futures bonuses, position airdrops, and limited-edition WEEX merchandise. More importantly, completing this step is mandatory. Users who skip Event 1 won’t qualify for the BTC pools that follow.

Event 2: Trade to Earn From a 0.7 BTC Pool

The core incentive sits in Event 2, where WEEX has allocated 0.7 BTC to users who meet two conditions.

Participants must deposit at least 200 USDT and generate a minimum of 1,000 USDT in futures trading volume during the event. Both thresholds must be reached, and only activity recorded after registration counts.

The payout model is simple. Everyone who completes the requirements splits the pool evenly. There’s no leaderboard pressure and no late-stage volume sprint.

Event 3: Referrals Unlock the Final BTC Allocation

A separate 0.3 BTC pool has been reserved for referrals. Users who invite friends to complete Event 2 earn a share of this allocation once their invitees meet both the deposit and trading criteria.

This structure ensures rewards aren’t diluted and keeps incentives balanced between traders and promoters.

Payouts and Risk Controls

WEEX has confirmed that rewards will be distributed within seven working days after the event ends. BTC payouts will be calculated using the market price on the day of distribution.

The exchange has also reinforced its zero-tolerance stance on manipulation. Wash trading, collusion, or multi-account abuse will result in disqualification, with rewards revoked.

Why the Format Matters

Prediction-led trading events have gained traction as traders search for ways to engage markets without constant exposure. By pairing AI insights with fixed requirements, WEEX has created a framework that feels measured rather than chaotic.

With registration already open, the clock is ticking for traders looking to participate before the window closes.
