Hello there!

Kaloh here with another Indexy update.

This is a big one for us. We’ve been building toward it for months and we’re finally ready to share it with you: Indexy Contests are live.

We built this to build on Indexy’s social side, leaning into competition between quants and bringing a layer of fun into what can often be a very analytical space.

Contests give you a new way to flex your crypto brain. You build an index, compete in skill-based tournaments, and climb the leaderboard in real time. Winners earn rewards in $i.

Think of them as fantasy tournaments for crypto indices.

1. You join contests on indexy.xyz or our Farcaster mini app.

2. You create an index using your own strategy of assets and weights.

3. You follow your performance live against other quants.

4. The best performers walk away with rewards in $i.

Contests aren’t about luck. They’re about research, conviction, and execution. Some formats will push you even further by adding constraints, like limiting which chains are eligible, how many tokens you can include, or applying thresholds based on market cap, FDV, or asset age.

For the past two weeks we’ve been quietly running contests in Closed Beta. Access has gone out in waves to our most active users, and every day a new contest has been running. Some are free to join, others have a ticket price (you can pay with $i or USDC). The entry fees don’t just increase the prize pool — they also put some real skin in the game, making every pick matter a little more.

In just this short period, we’ve already given out thousands of dollars in $i rewards, while seeing over 1000 indexes. These strategies will soon compliment our analytic tools like mindshare, popularity and trending tokens to keep finding signal from top performers.

If you’ve been active on Indexy or created an account recently, there’s a good chance you already have access. We’ll keep expanding access gradually until contests are open to everyone.

We’re only scratching the surface of what contests can become. Over the next weeks you’ll start to see new formats roll out. Some contests will be on-demand, starting the moment enough players join. Others will experiment with rules for index building that challenge your creativity and your edge.

We want contests to stay fresh, competitive, and fun — a place where you can test your thesis, sharpen your skills, and maybe prove you know something the rest of the market doesn’t.

Indexy has always been about helping you express, test and share your strategies. With Contests, we’ve opened up a new arena to do exactly that.

Until next time,
