The office tipping comp, for the markets.
Awarnda exists because arguing about who'd be the better trader is more fun when there's a scoreboard.
Most workplaces and group chats already run some kind of tipping competition - football seasons, racing carnivals, election nights. Awarnda is that same social ritual pointed at financial markets: one person sets up a contest, shares a link, and everyone competes on identical demo trading accounts with a live leaderboard settling the argument.
How it works
An organiser picks the markets, starting balance, leverage, dates, risk limits and win condition. Everyone who joins gets a demo account built to exactly those settings - nobody starts with an advantage, and nobody needs to know what leverage is to take part. The leaderboard updates live until the final bell.
What it costs
Joining a contest is free, and so is creating one with the standard settings. Organisers who want extras, such as their own branding on a contest, buy credits to unlock them. There is never anything to deposit, and nobody pays to play.
What it is not
No real money is traded, held or paid out on Awarnda. Every contest runs on simulated demo funds. We don't take deposits, we don't administer prizes, and nothing on the platform is financial advice or a recommendation to trade. If your office puts a few dollars each into an envelope for the winner, that arrangement is yours - the same as it would be for any tipping comp.
Simulated results are also not an indicator of real trading performance. Demo trading removes the two things that make real trading hard: real consequences and real emotions.
Where it's going
Competitions between friends are the start. The same engine supports public championships, sponsored contests, prop-style pass/fail challenges, and prediction contests for people who'd rather call the direction of gold than work an order ticket.
