Most people in DeFi know a strategy they’d run if setting it up weren’t so much work. You might want to move idle stables to the best yield, rebalance an LP position when price drifts, or buy the dip on a rule instead of on a hunch. Setting any of that up by hand is where most people give up.
With Fello 2, you describe the strategy in one sentence. Fello plans it, carries it out onchain, and keeps it running within limits you set. Your keys stay yours the whole time.
The Strategy Arena is a challenge to see what you build with Fello 2, and there’s a $10,000 prize pool for the best strategies.
What counts as a strategy
A strategy is the goal you describe. Automations are how Fello carries it out and keeps it running. A simple strategy might be one automation, like a weekly buy. A more advanced one might be several automations working together, like an LP position with a watch that moves the range when price drifts.
During the competition period, the Arena rewards live strategies: ones that actually run over time, not one-off swaps.
3 ways to win
Editors’ Choice: $4,000. This goes to the most innovative strategy, judged on published criteria. We’ll ask whether it’s something you couldn’t easily do by clicking through an app, whether it’s built safely with real limits, whether it has a clear economic idea behind it, whether it actually ran, and whether someone else could reuse it. This is the prize for the strategy other people would want to use.
Arena Score: $3,000. This goes to the wallet with the most qualifying volume, multiplied by its return. Wash trades and quick round trips don’t count, and returns are capped at 100%, so one lucky trade can’t take the top spot. You win by running a strategy that works.
Raffle: 20 winners at $150 each. You earn a ticket each day for each of the actions below:
Prompting Fello with a real question
Keeping an automation on
Letting an automation run
Keeping capital in a live strategy
You can track the number of tickets you’ve earned towards the raffle on the Rewards page.
Days you used Fello before the Arena started count too.
If you’re already a user, you may already have tickets. More tickets mean better odds, but winners are drawn at random, so even a single ticket can win.
Not sure where to start?
Try one of these prompts:
“Keep my USDC in the best Morpho vault, and add margin if anything gets close to liquidation.”
“Open an ETH/USDC position on Aerodrome and move the range when price drifts out of it.”
“Buy $50 of ETH every week, but double it when ETH drops more than 10%.”
These are only starting points. The Editors’ Choice prize exists for the strategy we haven’t thought of yet.
How to enter
Open Fello and describe a strategy. Then choose how it runs. You can review and sign each step yourself or turn it into an automation that Fello runs for you on the triggers you set. Both count. There’s no form to fill in, and every active user is considered automatically.
You can start small. Watches and alerts need nothing funded, so you can have Fello keep an eye on a position before you commit any capital.
