TradeSta Launches “Collateral Back” Campaign: 50% collateral back on First Liquidation for Traders

Published

on

TradeSta, the next-gen decentralized perpetuals trading platform built on Avalanche c-chain, is giving traders a second chance — literally.

Starting Tuesday 20th May 2025, the platform has launched its TradeStaCollateralBack campaign, offering a 50% refund on collateral (up to $25 USDC) for users who get liquidated on their first trade during the promotional period.

This bold new initiative is part of TradeSta’s mission to make high-leverage DeFi trading more accessible, transparent, and forgiving for newcomers and seasoned traders alike.

The campaign runs from Tuesday, May 20 through Tuesday, June 3, 2025 at 23:59 UTC.

“At TradeSta, we’re building more than just another DEX — we’re creating a trading experience that’s fast, fair, and actually puts the user first,” said Kieron Cartledge, Founder and CEO of TradeSta. “This campaign is our way of saying: it’s okay to take a swing — we’ve got your back if you miss.”

🔥 Here’s How It Works

Eligible users who open a position and get liquidated during the campaign will receive 50% of their collateral back, up to $25 USDC — no strings attached.

To qualify:

  • Minimum position size: $10 USDC
  • Minimum leverage: 10x
  • Must be the first loss from that wallet during the campaign
  • Refunds are processed in USDC on Avalanche C-Chain
  • Payouts sent within 72 working hours of liquidation

Whether you’re trading BTC, ETH, AVAX, gold, oil, or even RWAs, TradeSta gives you full control from start to finish. No KYC, no signups, just pure onchain execution — with lightning-fast trades, real-time pricing via Pyth Network.

✨ Why This Matters

Trading with leverage can be intimidating, especially for new users exploring DeFi for the first time. TradeSta’s campaign reduces the fear factor by offering a real incentive to test the waters — without getting burned.

“It’s not about encouraging risk,” Cartledge added. “It’s about rewarding participation and showing the community that DeFi doesn’t have to be cold, complex, or unforgiving.”

🚀 About TradeSta

TradeSta is a self-custodial perpetuals trading platform that allows users to trade crypto, commodities, FX, and real-world assets with up to 100x leverage — all without giving up control of their funds. Built on Avalanche & powered by Pyth Network, TradeSta combines DeFi values with CEX-like performance.
