DTM11 Recap: 6 Weeks of Chaos, Comebacks & Champions

DTM11 is officially a wrap—and what a wild ride it’s been! Over six weeks, we witnessed everything: explosive trades, insane volatility, dramatic comebacks, and one of the most epic leaderboard shake-ups in DEX trading history. Let’s rewind and relive the madness…

Week 1: PLTR Pops, dUSD Rises, and a Market-Shaking Move The competition kicked off with PLTR soaring post-earnings while MSTR longs looked doomed—until one trader single-handedly flipped the script. A massive DFI-to-dUSD swap, followed by a reckless all-in on MSTR, pushed it to a 20% premium and sent shockwaves through the Dex. dUSD rose from the ashes, and the stage was set for a high-stakes game of strategy and speed.

Week 2: Calm Before the Storm Things cooled down, but opportunities still lingered. PLTR continued its ascent, and BABA showed strength. The TAX Intern held onto the top spot with a bold DFI swap play, while Hulix and ManOfTheWoods began their climb. Hapesilver’s fall to 20th reminded everyone how quickly fortunes can turn.

Week 3: Halftime Heroics DFI made a massive comeback, and those who dared were rewarded. MisterPiggie49 shot from last to 2nd, and OLDMAN climbed from 20th to 5th. Meanwhile, Voyager reclaimed 2nd thanks to BABA, and a few AI shorts paid off nicely. The average gain hit +6.87%, despite high trading fees. THE Wallet proved to be the essential tool to catch those windows of opportunity.

Week 4: Crypto Meltdown & Missed Chances Markets crumbled, but sharp traders shorted their way to gains. The TAX Intern remained on top, Hulix rose to 3rd, and Phantomas’ small-cap gamble tanked him to 18th. The midfield played it safe with liquidity mining, and overall gains dipped slightly to +5.46%, partly due to MisterPiggie49’s vault liquidation. But with the trading fee about to drop, the calm wouldn’t last…

Week 5: Absolute Madness Unleashed The floodgates opened. Bake dumped 4.5M dUSD over the weekend in two massive waves, triggering arbitrage mayhem and sending volumes into overdrive. ManOfTheWoods pulled off the trade of the century—skyrocketing from 611 dUSD to 26,247 in just one week. The DFIP was passed and implemented—trading fees dropped from 1.36% to 0.1%, and for the first time in a long while, the Dex was buzzing with serious volume. Total gains across the field soared to +315%!

Week 6: The Quiet Finale After the storm, peace. The final week saw calm markets and fewer opportunities. But the last-minute twist? Some traders forgot to swap back into dUSD, costing them key spots in the final ranking.
