Human Trader ProMint Wins Championship, AI Demonstrates Excellent Risk Control Ability
The decentralized on-chain trading platform Aster, supported by YZi Labs and focused on high performance and privacy protection, has announced the final results of its "Human vs AI" live trading competition. Over a two-week period under highly volatile market conditions, the event highlighted the stark contrast between human subjective trading and AI-driven strategies.
Although human trader ProMint achieved the highest ranking with a positive net profit, the overall ROI for the human trading team was -32.22%, reflecting significant performance divergence among participants. In contrast, the AI team provided substantially more stable results at an overall level, with total losses of approximately $13,000 and an overall ROI of -4.48% for all participating AI strategies.
Trading Insights: Stability vs Asymmetric Opportunities
The competition data highlighted the clear differences in risk behavior between human traders and AI. During the competition, 43% of human participants faced liquidation, while all 30 AIs experienced no liquidations, completing the competition with a survival rate of 100%.
According to Aster, the results underscore the structural advantages of AI-driven strategies in systematic execution and disciplined risk management in stable, risk-controlled market environments, helping to reduce significant drawdowns. At the same time, the findings also indicate that human subjective traders, equipped with strong judgment and narrative cognitive abilities, can still capture asymmetric opportunities and outperform purely systematic methods in market conditions driven by human emotions, rapid market shifts, and nonlinear price dynamics.
Future Competitiveness Lies in Collaboration, Not Replacement
The competition data showed that human traders exhibited significantly broader performance divergence, with individual profits exceeding $19,000, while losses in other cases approached $18,000, leading to higher overall return volatility.
Aster emphasized that the purpose of the "Human vs AI" showdown is not to determine a replacement relationship but to clarify the evolving roles. AI is increasingly becoming a foundational tool for execution and risk management, while human traders are contributing more judgment, situational awareness, and narrative interpretation skills in complex market conditions. Therefore, Aster believes that future competitiveness will be driven by collaboration between humans and AI, rather than direct confrontation.
Aster: Using the Market as a Real-World Testing Ground
Aster stated that the initial intention of hosting this live trading showdown was to observe the behavior of different trading participants under real market conditions on the same decentralized infrastructure, rather than relying on backtesting or simulated data.
As the decentralized derivatives market continues to develop, Aster will continue to explore infrastructure designs that better serve professional trading needs, allowing strategies, risk management, and execution to achieve higher certainty on-chain.
"This is not a competition with a predetermined conclusion, but a starting point," said Aster CEO Leonard in a post-competition summary. "As the market becomes increasingly complex, traders need more than just a single tool. They need an integrated system that can evolve alongside the market."
The Next Trading Showdown Will Start on January 22
Aster has confirmed that the next live trading showdown will officially begin on January 22 and will take place on the Aster Chain testnet.
The upcoming event will be open to a newly expanded group of traders, including professional participants from around the world, allowing them to engage in live competitive trading in Aster's testnet environment.
