# 🔐 Proof-of-PNL Gatekeeping

<figure><img src="/files/C6r18AReskJAZP6gCdKB" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

OnChain Battles is not a free-for-all. To compete, you need **onchain proof** that you’ve made real money trading. Your past PNL is your entry ticket.

This system keeps the platform competitive, clean, and elite. No fakers. No fluff. Just verified performance.

***

### 🎯 Tiered Entry Pools

Tournaments are split into performance-based tiers.\
Your wallet history determines which tier you qualify for.

| Tier   | Verified OnChain PNL Requirement |
| ------ | -------------------------------- |
| Tier 1 | $1,000+                          |
| Tier 2 | $10,000+                         |
| Tier 3 | $50,000+                         |
| Tier 4 | $100,000+                        |
| Tier 5 | $1,000,000+                      |

Each tier has its own prize pool, leaderboard, and set of competitors.

The higher your verified PNL, the more exclusive (and rewarding) your tier becomes.

### 📲 How Verification Works

To gain access:

* Connect your wallet
* Authorize trade tracking via **wallet history** or **bot integration**
* System scans for **onchain realized profit** over time
* Once verified, you’re auto-assigned to the highest tier you qualify for

> 💡 *“Past performance” means only onchain-verified trades. Screenshots and manual entries are not accepted.*

### 🛡 Why This Matters

This is what keeps OnChain Battles **real**.

* **Stops clout chasers** from gaming leaderboards
* **Ensures fairness** across tournament tiers
* **Creates real rewards** for real skill

If you’ve made money in the market — you get to prove it publicly and compete for more.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://onchain-battles.gitbook.io/onchain-battles-docs/the-breakdown./proof-of-pnl-gatekeeping.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
