Bybit, the world’s second-largest crypto exchange, has just taken its flagship competition the World Series of Trading (WSOT) fully onchain for the first time. The brand-new Onchain Wave is live on the Solana blockchain, running until September 15, 2025, 10 AM UTC, and it comes with over $1 million in rewards across BBSOL and USDC. What makes it groundbreaking? For the first time ever, both centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX) traders will compete side by side on a single leaderboard.

The launch is backed by leading Solana projects like xStocks, Sanctum, DeFiTuna, Sonic SVM, CUDIS, and Fragmetric, all contributing trading, liquidity, and asset opportunities to fuel the event. Bybit has teamed up with Byreal to power the Onchain Wave, harnessing Solana’s speed and scalability to deliver a seamless, professional-grade onchain trading experience.
“Our mission is to make onchain trading as deep, fast, and credible as the best centralized markets,” said Emily Bao, founder of Byreal. “Bringing WSOT to Solana with strong ecosystem partners means the DeFi-native community finally gets to compete in the world’s biggest trading competition.”
The Onchain Wave is packed with rewards:
Weekly competitions: Top 200 traders earn 250 BBSOL weekly.
Overall competition: 1,650 BBSOL is shared among the top 1,000 traders.
Warrior Rewards: 900 BBSOL pool for traders who cross $10,000 in volume, even if they don’t make the leaderboard.

Getting started is simple. Bybit Web3 users just need to log in, trade WSOT-tagged assets, and make sure they’ve completed KYC and updated to app version 5.0.0 or higher. For Byreal, access is whitelist-only through Solana wallet connections, but active Solana users can often get approved as early as the next day.
