The DeFi Thunderdome tournament advances with two simultaneous matches on September 29.​

Match 6: Fluid vs Gearbox Protocol

  • Fluid's seamless liquidity faces Gearbox's leverage capabilities
  • Battle framed as "flow vs firepower"

Match 7: Aerodrome vs Uniswap

  • Legacy DeFi giant Uniswap challenges Base-native Aerodrome
  • Described as "legacy dominance vs L2 velocity"

How It Works:

  • Both matches run simultaneously from 18:00-21:00 CEST (3 hours)
  • Voting happens on jokerace.​io
  • Each vote contributes to reward pools distributed to winning side voters
  • Early voters earn larger reward shares

Tournament Structure:

  • 16 protocols compete in predetermined brackets
  • Single elimination format
  • Communities decide winners through voting
  • Previous contests have seen over $1M earned by voters

This follows Aave's victory over Venus Protocol in the tournament's opening match.​ The winner of the entire Thunderdome receives a custom protocol workflow built by Biconomy developers.​
