Zeru Finance and Ditto launch $50,000 Hyperliquid trading campaign on Zaps
A collaboration between Zeru Finance and Ditto Network connects Hyperliquid trading to ZeruAI's Zaps system, offering a $50,000 prize pool for the top 600 traders alongside points toward a future airdrop.
Zeru Finance and Ditto Network have introduced a trading initiative linking Hyperliquid perpetuals activity directly to ZeruAI's Zaps campaign system, according to social media posts by crypto observers HunterSCB, Vince, and FixAsif. Campaign graphics spotlight $PENGU perp trading, directing users to place orders via the Ditto trade tab on Zaps. Orders placed through the tab execute on Hyperliquid with the standard engine and identical fills, but the verified trading activity feeds two separate progression tracks.[1][2][3]
The competition lane distributes a $50,000 prize pool across the top 600 ranked traders and runs from Oct. 1 to Oct. 29, 2026. Concurrently, qualifying activity builds a separate zaps balance that Zeru Finance plans to factor into a future airdrop under announced rules. Trades made outside the Ditto interface do not count toward the leaderboard, and rules explicitly ban wash trading and multi-wallet ranking manipulation.[1][2][3]

Trading campaigns can bring attention to a project but the real test is whether they encourage users to explore an ecosystem beyond the rewards. @zerufinance and Ditto collaboration connects Hyperliquid trading activity with ZeruAI’s Zaps campaign system. With a $50K prize pool for the top 600 traders, it gives active traders another reason to participate while introducing them to a different part of the ecosystem. I’m more interested in whether these campaigns create lasting engagement after the rewards end. Sustainable growth comes when users find enough value to stay active without incentives.

Are you trading $PENGU perps on Hyperliquid? You might want to pay attention to what @zerufinance is doing with Ditto Network. Your trading activity can count toward the ZeruAI x Ditto campaign on Zaps. The goal is to climb the leaderboard through verified trading activity, with the top 600 traders sharing a $50K reward pool. But there are rules to follow. Wash trading and using multiple wallets to manipulate the rankings won't get you rewards. Only legitimate activity counts. Also, keep in mind that this $50K is for the trading campaign, not the planned Zaps airdrop. Participating doesn't guarantee you'll receive a reward, so check the official campaign details for the deadline and reward distribution. If you're already trading, connect the wallet you use and check your Zaps score before getting started. It's worth knowing where you stand before making your next move.

If you were going to trade Hyperliquid perps this month anyway, the only question is whether those trades count for anything beyond your PnL. Routed through the Ditto trade tab on Zaps, the same orders do more work. Execution happens on Hyperliquid exactly as usual. Same engine, same fills, nothing about the trade itself changes. What changes is what happens after execution. Zaps verifies the activity and feeds two separate counters: your rank in the live ZeruAI x Ditto competition, and your ongoing zaps balance from qualifying trading. The competition lane pays 600 places from a $50,000 pool until Oct 29. The zaps lane is the long game, the balance that @zerufinance intends to count toward the future airdrop under the announced rules. Two rulebooks, one routed trade. And trades placed outside your Ditto tab do not count for the competition, so the routing is the only habit you need to build.
