# Introduction

## What is Edge Hour?

Welcome to Edge Hour—DeriW's time-limited trading challenge.

Edge Hour is a **time-limited trading competition**. You pay an entry fee **from $5**, receive **$10,000 in virtual capital**, and have **1-8 hours** to complete the challenge objectives. Successfully meet all criteria to win **2-10x your entry fee**. This isn't traditional perpetual trading—it's a **fair test of trading skill**.

***

### Core Features

**Time-Limited Competition:** Each challenge has a defined time limit (1/2/4/8 hours) with automatic settlement when time expires.

**Multiplied Rewards:** Hit your target and win 2-10x your entry. e.g. Pay $50 entry for a 10x challenge, win $500 reward on success.

**Equal Starting Point:** Everyone begins with the same $10,000 virtual capital. Success depends purely on your trading strategy and risk management.

**Low Entry Threshold:** Starting from just $5—accessible to all traders regardless of capital.

**On-Chain Transparency:** All trades and settlements execute on-chain, ensuring transparency and verifiability.
