Permanent wallet-level setting
Paper Trading is a permanent wallet-level setting. A wallet address may activate Paper Trading only if it has never made, or been credited with, a deposit to Quote.Trade on any supported network.
A prior Quote.Trade deposit remains disqualifying even if the assets were later withdrawn or the wallet currently has a zero Quote.Trade balance.
Once Paper Trading is activated, it cannot be disabled or converted to Live Trading for that wallet address.
Paper Trading uses a simulated balance with no cash value. Simulated balances and profits cannot be deposited, withdrawn, transferred, or redeemed.
Free to enter. No deposit required. U.S. participants are eligible for Paper Trading only. Paper Trading is permanent for the wallet used to enter.
Two outcomes, clearly separated
Potential Quote.Trade-Owned Capital Deployment
USDC prizes
The top three in each division may receive the published USDC prizes after eligibility and final performance verification by Quote.Trade.
Separate discretionary review
Quote.Trade may, in its sole discretion, independently evaluate or replicate completed Paper activity using Quote.Trade-owned funds after separate identity, jurisdiction, legal, execution, capacity, and risk review.
USDC prizes and possible capital deployment are separate. The participant does not receive custody or control of Quote.Trade funds and has no authority to direct company orders. Participation or winning does not guarantee capital allocation, compensation, profit sharing, employment, engagement, or an advisory relationship. Any ongoing signal, compensation, profit-sharing, employment, advisory, or other commercial arrangement requires a separate written agreement and separate legal and compliance approval.
USDC is a digital asset and is not legal tender or a bank deposit. Its market value may fluctuate. No payment, deposit, purchase, or fee is required to claim a prize.
Separate discretionary process
Performance may be considered. Nothing is promised.
Quote.Trade may review completed activity and test whether it can withstand real size, actual executable prices, expected delay, available depth and defined risk controls. Winning does not guarantee deployment or any commercial relationship.

Questions, answered plainly
AlphaLeague FAQ
Can I join after the competition starts?
Yes. Registration remains open through December 31, 2026. Your scoring baseline is locked when you join, and only eligible activity after entry counts. Late entrants receive no time adjustment, but a strong percentage return can still catch the field.
Do USDC prize winners automatically receive company-owned capital?
No. USDC prize ranking and possible company-owned capital review are separate.
Does the winner take custody of Quote.Trade capital?
No. Any allocation remains in a Quote.Trade-owned and controlled account.
Can bots and AI agents enter?
Yes, subject to the same account, identity, jurisdiction and competition rules.
How is the leaderboard ranked?
Primarily by net percentage return on starting competition capital. Performance is verified by Quote.Trade.
Is the live leaderboard final?
No. It is indicative until final verification and review by Quote.Trade.
Is Paper participation the same as Live eligibility?
No. Paper participation does not imply eligibility for Live leveraged trading.
Can I switch my wallet from Paper Trading to Live Trading?
No. Paper Trading is permanent for the specific wallet address on which it is activated. The wallet must have no prior Quote.Trade deposit history and cannot later be converted to Live Trading. An otherwise eligible non-U.S. user who later wants to use Live Trading must use a different wallet and satisfy all Live Trading eligibility requirements. U.S. persons and persons located in the United States remain Paper-only.
Can I enter Paper Trading with a wallet that previously deposited to Quote.Trade?
No. A wallet is eligible for Paper Trading only if it has never made or received a Quote.Trade deposit. Withdrawing the prior deposit or returning the wallet to a zero balance does not restore eligibility.
What does Paper Trading mean?
Paper Trading uses a simulated balance with no cash value. Simulated balances and profits cannot be deposited, withdrawn, transferred, or redeemed. Paper trades do not represent actual trading.
Can a Paper strategy receive capital?
It may be considered, in Quote.Trade’s sole discretion, only after separate identity, jurisdiction, legal, live-execution, capacity, and risk review. Participation or winning does not guarantee allocation or compensation.
Can Quote.Trade skip or resize strategy trades?
Yes. Quote.Trade retains independent execution and risk discretion.
Are all platform markets competition eligible?
No. Only the approved competition market list controls.
Are there trading fees?
Quote.Trade presents all-in executable prices with no separately added trading fee; spreads and other disclosed economics remain reflected in execution.
