# ⏳ Time Limited Trading Seasons
OnChain Battles runs in seasonal cycles called **Arena Seasons**.\
Each season is a time-boxed competition where traders race to maximize profit before the clock runs out.
***
### 🕒 Season Duration
Arena Seasons are short, intense, and strategic.\
You can choose between:
* Weekly seasons
* Monthly seasons
Once the timer starts, **only trades made during the active season window count** toward your leaderboard score.
***
### ✅ Entry Conditions
You must qualify for your tier **before the season begins**.\
Once verified, you can enter the tournament and compete alongside traders with similar track records.
There are no mid-season entries. No resets. No rollbacks.\
If you want to win, you need to show up early — and stay sharp the entire round.
***
### 💡 Why It Works
Time-limited seasons:
* Create urgency and intensity
* Reset the playing field regularly
* Let traders return and prove themselves in fresh rounds
* Keep the action fast, competitive, and dynamic
Each season is a new chance to dominate\
Every win is earned in real time
