What is a Winning Flip?
A Winning Flip happens when you:
Buy a token using a base token (native coin like ETH, SOL, BTC, or a stablecoin like USDC, USDT), and
Sell that token back into a base token at a profit of more than 0.01% PnL.
All trades are priced in USD at the time of the trade. This means your buy and sell base tokens don’t need to match—profits are calculated based on the USD value of the buy vs. the USD value of the sell.
Key Details
Start date: Winning Flips have been tracked since June 3, 2025.
Must involve a base native token (e.g., ETH, SOL, BTC, USDC, USDT, etc.)
We track the full trade cycle:
You must have bought the token from a base token before selling.
If you buy once and sell multiple times, only the profitable sales are counted as Winning Flips.
Profits are USD-based: Even if you buy with USDC and sell for BTC, we compare the USD value at buy vs. the USD value at sell.
Excluded:
Token-to-token swaps (e.g., Pengu → Trump)
NFT trades
Examples
Swap Type | Counts as Winning Flip? | Example |
Buy Pengu with SOL → Sell Pengu for SOL at +1% | Yes | Meets the buy → sell cycle with profit |
Buy Pengu with USDC → Sell Pengu for BTC at +3% | Yes | Profit is measured in USD, even with different base tokens |
Buy Pengu with ETH → Sell half for USDC at +2%, half for USDC at –1% | Yes (only the profitable half counts) | Only profitable sales are tracked |
Buy Pengu with Trump → Sell Pengu for SOL | No | First buy wasn't from native/stable |
NFT trade and sale | No | NFTs are excluded |
