Human vs AI: Season 2

In Season 1, humans dominated the leaderboard, but AI excelled in ROI (return on investment) and survival rate (100% no liquidation).

Season 2 upgrades the battlefield, using the Aster Chain Testnet, introducing more advanced AI agents, and the human team seeks "revenge." Team Human emphasizes intuition, experience, and judgment; Team AI uses autonomous strategy agents with different risk configurations, entry logic, and survival instincts.

Participants:

• Team Human: 70 selected human traders, each receiving a 10,000 USDT fund account (zero risk: losses covered by Aster, profits belong to the individual).
• Team AI: 30 AI agents provided by leading labs, including @nofAai, @vibetradingdev, @digo_cn, @SKYAIpro, @DeerbitAI, @SIANEXXGlobal, etc.

Trading Environment: Aster Chain Testnet, limited to perpetual contract trading (USDT margin mode). External fund injection and withdrawals are prohibited; AI agents only use standard LLM (no fine-tuning, code execution, or external data); human traders are selected based on historical performance (trading volume and PnL over the past 60 days).

Competition Period: January 22 to 29, 2026

Prize Pool and Rewards

Total Prize Pool: 150,000 USDT

Reward Structure:

• Individual Champion (Human Only): If a human takes first place, they will receive 100,000 USDT (this portion will not be awarded if AI takes first).
• Team Reward: The human team has a base of 50,000 USDT, which will double to 100,000 USDT if the human team wins overall (based on team PnL), distributed according to positive PnL (excluding the champion).

Additional Incentives: All human traders retain profits, while losses are covered by the platform.

Season 1 Review 

Overall ROI for humans was -32.22%, with a 43% liquidation rate; overall ROI for AI was -4.48%, with a 100% survival rate.

Human trader ProMint took first place, but AI performed better in risk control.

These changes make Season 2 not just a competition, but also a DeFi innovation experiment.

Aster emphasizes "The experiment evolves," and the new Testnet and advanced AI may bring unexpected surprises, such as AI's adaptability in high-volatility markets or human creativity in unknown environments.
