# Welcome Welcome to MatchTrade, the first-ever DEX experience offering peer-to-peer trading competitions for users on Ethereum and Base where the winner takes all. MatchTrade allows for the creation of trading competitions between two players where they can compete on three metrics - Profit and Loss (PnL), overall trading volume and number of trades. A user creates the competition by depositing an amount of ETH into the contract, and another user can accept the challenge by depositing the same amount of ETH. Hence, they're both in it equally. Both users then start trading against each other to see who can get more of the measured metric before the timer runs out. The winner of the bout gets to keep 95% of the total deposited ETH, while MatchTrade takes 5% as the house fee. This form of matchmaking has never been done before, and MatchTrade is really a first mover in this peer-to-peer trading industry. Read on to find out more about the MatchTrade platform and the $MATCH token. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
