A new edition of DarwinIA with bigger prizes is now live: in December we are allocating € 400,000 to the top 16 DARWINs! The winner of this month’s edition will be allocated € 50,000. Click here to see the new allocation scheme.

Also, if you visit the leaderboard you’ll notice that cash prizes were removed. This is so because they were being paid out as an additional income source to the best traders while we were finalising the investor platform… which won’t be necessary anymore because the investor platform is opening up to everyone VERY soon. We’ll keep you posted!
