The season of giving is here! To celebrate, we’re running a 12-day Christmas campaign. Starting on December 12th, the 12 Days of Giving campaign gives you the chance to stuff your stockings with a variety of prizes fit for crypto natives.
Join in on the fun by completing 12 tasks that will be revealed on our Twitter feed every day during the 12 Days of Giving!
To get you into the Christmas spirit, we’ll be giving away gifts collectively worth more than $2,700 this holiday season. By participating in the 12 Days of Giving, you can become eligible to win one of the following prizes:
An annual TradingLite Gold tier subscription (worth $199.99) so you can chart cryptocurrency markets like a pro!
A subscription to Nansen’s standard tier for 1 month so you can master on-chain analytics and level up your trading. A total of 3 subscriptions are up for grabs.
Need a hardware wallet to secure your tokens? Or maybe an extra one for good measure? Look no further, as 2 Ledger Nano Xs are included in the prize pool.
Stack some Gwei!: 3 lucky winners will receive 0.10 ETH.
An annual subscription to the DeFi Education newsletter to boost your DeFi knowledge: there’ll be a chance for 3 people to win these subscriptions (each worth $100).
A gift of 20 USDC will be given to 25 lucky winners.
Get yourself some Perp swag: 25 lucky winners will receive gift cards worth $25 for our merch store.

The 12 Days of Giving campaign will run like an advent calendar in partnership with Galxe, where you must complete simple tasks to unlock festive NFTs.
We will reveal a task for you to complete at 12pm UTC every day on our Twitter account (turn on notifications to make sure you don’t miss out!). Once you have completed the first day’s task on December 12th, head over to the campaign page on Galxe and claim the first NFT.

Each daily task will have its own festive NFT associated with it, where each NFT represents one entry into the lucky draw. All tasks will be open until December 27th (23:59 UTC), so make sure you complete them all before this date to increase your chances of winning. A snapshot will be taken on December 28th (00:00 UTC) to assign tickets based on how many NFTs each wallet holds.
As you complete more tasks and collect more NFTs, you’ll get more entry tickets. And the more entry tickets you collect, the more likely it will be that you’ll win one of the prizes on offer!
A lucky draw will be held shortly after Christmas Day to pick 62 winners at random to distribute the prizes to. Each wallet can only be drawn once to spread the festive cheer as far as possible!
By completing all 12 daily tasks and collecting all the corresponding NFTs, you can increase your chances of winning a prize by earning an additional 12 entries to the lucky draw. On top of a greater likelihood of receiving one of the gifts on offer, you’ll also be entitled to claim the complete version of our Christmas Wonderland NFT!
We encourage everyone to get involved in the 12 Days of Giving, not only as a bit of fun to mark the end of an eventful year, but also for a chance to win some great gifts.
Good luck to everyone taking part and we wish you a joyous holiday!
