How to compete without a team, what signing up early gets you, what bringing others in gets you—and why the solo track has no July 9 cutoff.
The first two entries laid out BWTC 2026 in full and then zoomed in on the main stage—Futures Team Pro. This one covers what sits outside the team event: Trophy Picks, the solo event, plus two additional rewards that fall outside the main pool and are open to everyone—Early Bird Perks and the Top Scout Award. If the team event runs on coordinated judgment, the solo track hands the judgment back to you alone; being early, and bringing others in, reward a different kind of initiative. Today is the pre-event window; registration doesn't open until June 22.
Trophy Picks: the solo track
Not everyone wants a team. Trophy Picks is contested individually, with standing that's entirely your own—your trading counts only for you. It holds 20% of the pool, with the Top Individual Volume Award: up to $200,000, shared by the top 50 individuals by volume.
Compared with Futures Team Pro, the solo track drops one constraint. The team event requires you to form a team before July 9; the solo track has no such formation cutoff—registration stays open until July 23, and the main competition runs July 9 to 23. In other words, going solo carries a lower bar and a wider window.

Early Bird Perks: rewarding the early
The first additional reward goes to those who sign up early. The Early Bird Perks pool is $4,000: users who register early, within the early window (June 22, 10:00 to June 25, 09:59, UTC+8), receive 20 USDT trial credit. That early window is the shortest stretch of the whole event—just a few days.
The Top Scout Award: rewarding those who bring others in
The second additional reward goes to those who bring genuine newcomers in. The Top Scout Award pool is $1,000, shared by the top 10 scouts by valid new users invited. The invited must be genuine users—a new user is one who registers with Bitbase and signs up for BWTC. Note that partners are not eligible for the Scout program. Scout referral rewards are paid within 3 days of qualifying.
Both of these sit outside the main pool
One thing to be clear about: Early Bird Perks and the Top Scout Award are both counted separately from the 1,000,000 USDT main pool. They're two side paths outside the main competition, open equally to anyone in Futures Team Pro or Trophy Picks—whichever main track you choose, being early and bringing others in can earn you something on the side.

Reward form: mostly trial credit
As before, the reward form is worth stating plainly. The Top Individual Volume Award, Early Bird Perks, and the Top Scout Award are all paid as USDT futures trial credit. Trial credit works alongside your own funds as futures margin, and profits made trading with it are fully withdrawable—but the credit itself is not directly withdrawable, and it's valid for seven days. That distinction affects what you actually receive, and it's worth understanding before you take part.
Fair play and the bar
There's a bar to clear. Once the competition opens, a futures account whose equity stays above $100 for at least five minutes may register; to qualify for rewards, you must then reach the required cumulative futures (Perpetual Futures) volume over the competition, with the specific thresholds set on the official Bitbase event page. Rankings update every ten minutes and may be subject to data delays; and wash trading, self-trading, fake volume, mass account creation, multi-account coordination, and falsified KYC all lead, once identified, to disqualification and clawback. The final list of eligible participants and all calculations rest with the platform's review.
The timeline: the early-bird window is the shortest
Set the individual-path timelines side by side (all times UTC+8): registration runs June 22, 10:00 to July 23, 09:59; the early window runs June 22, 10:00 to June 25, 09:59; the Scout program runs June 22, 10:00 to July 23, 23:59; and the solo track runs with the main competition, July 9, 10:00 to July 23, 09:59. The early window is the shortest of these—just a few days—and it's the one most worth noting now, during the pre-event stretch.

How to get ready
Registration opens June 22, 10:00 (UTC+8), with the early window running June 22 to 25. Until then, you can explore the competition in full on the official event page, read how Trophy Picks works and what the two additional rewards involve; to be notified the moment it opens, follow Bitbase.
A team carries coordinated judgment through the season; in the solo track, the judgment is yours alone. Being early, and bringing others in, reward a different kind of initiative. This edition leaves a place at the edge of the pitch for those going solo too.
Time sensitivity: The rules, prize pool, awards, schedule, and participation methods described here reflect information as of the publication date. The promotion pool scales with participation, some rules are not yet fully public, and parameters may be adjusted; the real-time display on the Bitbase official website and event page is authoritative. Where this article differs from the latest official display, the official display governs.
Verification: For key parameters such as pool size, eligibility thresholds, volume calculation, and payout timing and form, verify on the official Bitbase event page or Help Center before taking part.
Not financial advice: This is an informational overview of an event only. It does not constitute investment, trading, tax, or financial advice. Crypto assets are highly volatile; trading and holding them carry substantial risk, including the loss of principal. Taking part in the competition does not change this.
At your own risk: Whether and how to trade is your decision; assess your own risk tolerance.
Official channels: For any questions, verify through official Bitbase channels and beware of third parties impersonating Bitbase.
