Deposit USDT Into Your Wallet
Important — TRON (TRC-20) Network Only
Top Coins only accepts USDT on the TRON (TRC-20) network. Do not send tokens from the Ethereum (ERC-20), BNB, or any other network — those deposits cannot be recovered. Always double-check the network before sending.
Navigate to Deposits
After logging in, click Deposits in the top navigation bar, or go to topcoins.io/deposits.
Copy your unique deposit address
You will see a TRON TRC-20 wallet address and a QR code. Copy the address (or scan the QR code) using your crypto wallet or exchange.
Your deposit address is unique to your account — it will not change.
Send USDT (TRC-20) from your wallet or exchange
Always send a small test transaction first if you are new to this process.
Wait for confirmation
The platform monitors the TRON blockchain automatically. Once your transaction receives the required confirmations (typically under 2 minutes), your balance will appear in your account. You will receive a notification when the deposit is confirmed.

Build Your Portfolio
After joining a league, you must build your portfolio — the selection of cryptocurrencies you believe will perform best during the competition window. Every league specifies which blockchain ecosystem you can pick from, and how many tokens you must select.
Open the league you joined
From My Leagues tab on the Leagues page (or your Dashboard), click on the league to open its detail page. You will see the Portfolio Builder section.
Browse available tokens
Select your tokens
Quality over quantity — pick the coins you genuinely believe will outperform the others in the league window.
Save your portfolio
Once you're happy with your selections, click Save Portfolio. You can change your picks as many times as you want until the league lock countdown hits zero.
You must save your portfolio before the league locks! If you don't submit, your entry fee may still be reserved but you will not be scored.
The league locks — no more changes
At the scheduled lock time, all portfolios are frozen, the opening prices are recorded, and competition officially begins. A cryptographic snapshot is taken at this point for blockchain verification.

How Scoring & Rankings Work
Scoring Formula
1. Opening Snapshot
Prices are recorded the moment the league locks. This is your starting baseline.
2. Closing Snapshot
Prices are recorded again at the league's end time. This is the final measurement point.
3. % Gain = Your Score
Your portfolio score = average % price change of all your selected tokens between open and close.
Example: Ethereum League (7 days)
You picked 4 tokens. Here's how your score is calculated:
| Token | Open Price | Close Price | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| ETH | $3,100 | $3,348 | +8.0% |
| LINK | $14.20 | $16.50 | +16.2% |
| AAVE | $180 | $174.6 | −3.0% |
| UNI | $8.10 | $9.15 | +12.9% |
| Your Portfolio Score | +8.53% | ||
Average = (8.0 + 16.2 − 3.0 + 12.9) ÷ 4 = 8.525% ≈ +8.53%
Tie-Breaking Rules
- 1Higher overall portfolio return wins.
- 2If equal: player with more outperforming tokens wins.
- 3If still equal: earlier portfolio submission timestamp wins.
- 4In rare cases: shared rank awarded.

Prizes, Settlement & Withdrawals
Prize Pool Breakdown
When a league ends, the total entry fees form the Gross Collection. A 15% Platform Service Fee is deducted, and the remaining 85% becomes the Prize Pool distributed to winners. The displayed prize pool always equals what winners actually receive.

Automatic settlement
When the league ends, the platform automatically: captures final prices → calculates all portfolio scores → ranks players → determines winners → calculates each winner's prize → credits USDT to winner wallets. No manual action needed.
Blockchain verification
Every settled league generates a cryptographic verification package — including winner hashes, prize allocation hashes, and a Merkle proof — published on the blockchain. Anyone can independently verify that results were calculated correctly at topcoins.io/verify.
Withdraw your winnings
Keep USDT in your account to join more leagues without waiting for another deposit.
Withdrawals go to TRON (TRC-20) addresses only. Always double-check your wallet address before submitting.

Strategies to Improve Your Game
Research before you pick
Check recent news, upcoming project milestones, and technical indicators before building your portfolio. Knowledge is your edge.
Stick to one blockchain per league
Each league is ecosystem-specific. Get familiar with a few chains (e.g. Solana or Ethereum) rather than spreading too thin.
Submit early, update often
Submit a draft early so you're entered even if plans change. Update your picks right before lock as new information emerges.
Start with Beginner leagues
Beginner leagues pay prizes to the top 40% of players — great for learning the platform before moving to Elite or Mega Match.
Study completed leagues
Review your past league results on the Dashboard. Understand which token picks worked and which didn't to refine your strategy.
Never risk more than you can afford
Treat entry fees as entertainment spending. Never deposit funds you cannot afford to lose. See our Responsible Gaming policy.
Blockchain Verification — How We Prove Fairness
Top Coins publishes a cryptographic proof for every completed league on the blockchain. This means anyone — including you — can independently verify that results were not tampered with.
What is published on-chain?
League creation metadata, league lock snapshot hash, settlement hash, winner list hash, prize allocation hash, and a Merkle root proof. Not your personal data — only cryptographic fingerprints.
How do I verify a league?
Go to topcoins.io/verify, enter the League ID or Settlement ID. The system will show you the on-chain transaction and allow you to check that the hashes match the published results.
What does it prove?
It proves that the winner list and prize allocations were not changed after the league locked. The same inputs (opening & closing prices, portfolio snapshots) always produce the same result.
Why does this matter?
Traditional platforms ask you to trust them. Top Coins lets you verify independently. You don't need to take our word for it — the math is public.
