# Trading Competitions

Interested in boosting volumes and gaining mindshare for your project? Consider running a trading competition with PancakeSwap to reward users that trade your token.

We'll handle the set-up, tracking, and announcement - you provide the rewards, we run the show.

This is available across BNB Chain, Solana, Base, Arbitrum, Ethereum, ZKsync, Linea, and opBNB.

*Some projects who took part previously saw a 3-7x increase in trading volume and actively traded addresses*

**Example of a Trading Competition process**

1. Initial Outreach
   * The PancakeSwap BD team will reach out to prospective partners who might be a good fit
   * Projects interested in running one can also contact us directly via [Telegram](https://t.me/pancakeswapbd)
2. Terms Finalization
   * We’ll go through a few key points to finalize the details - covering timeline, rewards, rules, etc.
3. Marketing Preparation
   * We’ll request design assets and some project information to create a clean, professional banner (see example below)
4. Launch
   * We’ll kick off the trading competition to drive onchain trading volume and increase mindshare for your token
   * Promotional posts will also go live on [Twitter](https://x.com/PancakeSwap/status/1937095943268237433), [Telegram](https://t.me/PancakeSwapAnn/6339), and on our [blog site](https://blog.pancakeswap.finance/articles/binance-alpha-trading-competition)
   * If you're keen, you could also join us on an AMA and/or a podcast to share more about your project with our community
5. Post-Launch
   * We’ll stay connected and explore future opportunities to collaborate

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.pancakeswap.finance/welcome-to-pancakeswap/contact-us/business-partnerships/trading-competitions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
