Your onchain reputation just became your ticket to professional trading capital. Markets have been funny, and even good traders get liquidated sometimes. Your onchain reputation just became your ticket to professional trading capital and tools, giving you another shot at glory, powered by zPass. Your trading history has given you access to capital to rebuild your fortune again. Sometimes a second chance is all you need!

We're thrilled to announce that Zeru and Upscale have partnered to launch a zPass-exclusive campaign—a milestone that demonstrates the real-world value of building a strong onchain reputation!

If you've been grinding onchain, playing by the rules, and building your credibility, this partnership rewards you with something tangible: discounted and even free access to funded trading accounts, all thanks to your well-earned trading battle scars!

For those unfamiliar with prop trading, here's the concept in simple terms: you trade with someone else's capital, and you keep most of the profits.

Traditionally, breaking into professional trading required significant personal capital or connections to financial institutions. Prop trading flips this model. Instead of risking your own funds, you demonstrate your skills through a challenge, and if you pass, the firm provides the capital. You trade, you profit, you withdraw—keeping up to 90% of what you earn.

Upscale is the world's first Web3 prop trading firm, built specifically for crypto traders. Here's what makes it different from traditional prop firms:

• No KYC required — Start trading right after payment. All you need is a Web3 wallet.

• 200+ trading instruments — Trade crypto futures pairs 24/7 with access to major markets.

• Decentralized price feeds — Powered by Pyth Network oracles for transparent, manipulation-resistant pricing.

• AI-powered analytics — Smart tools to help you identify opportunities and manage risk.

• Fast payouts — Withdraw your profits within 48 hours, paid in USDT to your wallet.

• Flexible account sizes — Start as low as $18 for a $1,000 account, or scale up to $200,000 (and up to $800,000 across multiple accounts).

• Up to 90% profit split — You keep the lion's share of what you earn.

The challenge structure is straightforward: Phase 1 requires a 5% profit target, Phase 2 requires 8%, with reasonable drawdown limits (5% daily, 10% total). Pass both phases and you're funded!

Upscale was built by the team behind Storm Trade, and they've already onboarded 27,000+ active traders. This isn't a theoretical platform—it's battle-tested infrastructure for serious crypto traders.

Zeru is building the reputation layer for DeFi; a way to prove you're a trustworthy participant in the onchain economy.

At the core is zScore, an AI-powered reputation score that analyzes your wallet's activity across multiple blockchains and protocols. It looks at factors like account age, transaction history, protocol usage, and historical behavior to generate a score from 0 to 1000.

zPass is an NFT that represents your zScore onchain. Think of it as your reputation passport—a portable proof of your onchain reputation that unlocks benefits across the ecosystem. It's not just a score you look at; it's an asset you own that grants access to:

• Boosted APR deals and exclusive liquidity campaigns

• Priority access to airdrops and token launches

• Better terms from protocols that value quality users over quantity

The system is secured by EigenLayer as an AVS, and the scoring model uses a behavior-centric AI neural network that continuously improves.

The premise is simple: Good reputation should pay. If you've been a genuine participant in DeFi—not a bot farm, not a sybil attacker, not a serial dumper—you deserve to be recognized and rewarded for it.

So long as you have an onchain trading history, which the zScore model determines based on your zPass, you get $1000-5000 in free capital to trade on Upscale, with near $0 investment, purely based on your reputation as a trader.

You can take up to 5x leverage and go long or short on a pair of your choice on Upscale. That’s effectively free trading capital of $5000 to $25000. Even a 2% price movement means you make 10%, using someone else’s capital, as long as you’re on the right side of the trade. That’s a $100 to $500 win on a single trade, with none of your own capital invested.

 Based on your zScore, you can claim one of three tiers of rewards:

Let's put this in perspective:

• A $1,000 Upscale account normally costs $18. If your zScore is 500-700, you get it free.

• A $5,000 account normally costs $69. At 700+ zScore, you pay just $3.45.

This isn't a random giveaway. Upscale is specifically targeting users with proven onchain reputations because the data shows these users are more likely to trade responsibly, pass challenges, and become long-term platform participants. It's a win-win: quality users get rewarded, and Upscale gets quality traders.

If you already have a zPass:

1. Go to app.zpass.ai

2. Connect your wallet

3. Your promo code will be displayed based on your current zScore

4. Head to Upscale and apply your code at checkout

If you don't have a zPass yet:

• Go to app.zpass.ai

• Connect your wallet to check your zScore

• If your zScore is 300 or above, mint your zPass

• Return to the app to claim your Upscale promo code

• Apply it at Upscale

Your promo code is tied to your zScore at the time you access it, so the code you see reflects your current reputation tier.

This partnership represents something bigger than discounts on a prop trading platform.

For years, DeFi has treated all wallets equally—which sounds fair until you realize that means bots and sybil attackers get the same opportunities as genuine users. The result? Airdrops get farmed and dumped. Liquidity incentives get extracted by mercenaries. Real users get diluted rewards.

zPass exists to change that equation and this Upscale campaign is proof that the model works. When protocols can identify quality users, they can offer them better deals. When users can prove their reputation, they unlock opportunities that anonymous wallets can't access.

This is a zPass-exclusive campaign.
