On 14 October 2026, Surgence Labs announced the launch of TraderComps, a new platform designed to centralise trading competitions, bonuses and rewards across crypto exchanges, decentralised exchanges, prediction markets, brokers, trading apps and prop firms. The service is initially free and acts as a calendar of live, upcoming and recent trading campaigns, with each listing linked to its official source.
As of 13 October, TraderComps profiles 168 trading platforms and lists 142 live campaigns on 81 of them, with published prize pools totalling $17.6 million. The breakdown includes 66 trading competitions, 26 airdrops and points programmes, and 50 bonuses and offers. Among the highlighted campaigns are Gate's WCTC Season 9 trading competition, with a pool of up to 6,000,000 USDT running until 25 November, and Kraken's $5,000,000 USDG Futures Challenge, running until 10 December.
TraderComps offers several features for traders: a filterable calendar by platform type, market, prize size and days left; country eligibility settings that hide unavailable campaigns; a competition score out of five based on official rules; airdrop status checks; a saved list; early email alerts through a free VIP list; past campaign payout records; and a monthly State of Trading Competitions report. The first monthly report found 156 campaigns active on 80 trading platforms in October 2026, with $18.0 million in published cash prize pools.
The platform is free to use. Trading platforms can list themselves for free, and no platform can pay for placement, ranking or score; paid placements are labelled as sponsored. Future plans include trader profiles with verified volume and history across exchanges, competitions hosted directly on TraderComps, bonuses claimed in one place, and community launches for exchanges and trading apps.
“Trading platforms spend heavily on competitions and bonuses, but traders find them through whichever banner reaches them first, and the terms that matter, such as who can join and what it costs to compete, are often a few clicks away from the headline prize,” said Julian Stafford, Co-Founder of Surgence Labs. “TraderComps starts by putting every campaign on one calendar with its official rules.”
