This month we saw numerous questions from our Community about the changes to our platform and how it works. We took the opportunity to answer them all here in our latest AskStox session, in this installment number 9.

What is the Stox Cup?

The Stox Cup is our monthly tournament. This tournament is a fun way to test your Brain Power and prediction strength against other players.

How does the Leaderboard work?

The Brain Power points you win for predicting correctly contribute to your ranking on the Leaderboard. At the end of the current Stox Cup tournament, your ranking determines whether you’ll be in the winning for real STX.

Here’s a glimpse at the current Leaderboard standings, as of time of print:

What are Brain Power points? Why don’t I win STX tokens every time I predict correctly?

Brain Power points are the credits you receive each time you predict correctly. When profiting from a prediction, the amount of STX won is automatically converted to Brain Power points on a 1:1 ratio (1STX=1BP). These points are added up to give your ranking on the Leaderboard for the Stox Cup tournament.

In order to win real STX tokens, you must predict on markets that have ”Win real STX tokens” across the top of the image, or place high enough on the leaderboard at the end of the monthly tournament to win STX based on your ranking.

How can I win real STX tokens?

You can win STX tokens two ways:

By correctly predicting on markets listed as ”Win real STX!”

2. By placing within the winning ranks on the Leaderboard for the Stox Cup tournament.

Predictions with ‘’Win Real STX’’ offer payouts in STX tokens for predicting correctly.

What is risk-free mode?

Risk-free mode is the current functioning version of our platform. This means your STX tokens are never at risk — they are returned to your STX wallet after every prediction you have predicted upon has closed. This means that no matter if you predict correctly or incorrectly, your STX tokens are returned to you when the prediction you locked them on is closed.

Why can’t I withdraw my 50 STX?

The 50 STX given to you upon registration are non-withdrawable because they are intended for you to use on the platform.

Why should I deposit STX tokens to my account?

The more STX tokens you stake on predictions the higher portion of the stake you’ll win if you predict correctly. The more STX deposited and staked on predictions, the larger the portion of the prize pool can be won when you predict correctly. Don’t forget that your STX tokens are never at risk — your tokens are returned to you upon closing of predictions.

How many real STX can I win in the Stox Cup tournaments?

You can check the Rules & Prizes page (inside the Stox platform) for the breakdown of prizes from 1st to 150th place.
