Aster’s ’Human vs AI’ Trading Competition Reveals Divergent Strategies in Volatile Markets
Aster, the privacy-centric on-chain trading platform supported by YZi Labs, has concluded its inaugural 'Human vs AI' live trading competition. Over two weeks of turbulent market conditions, the event starkly contrasted human discretion with algorithmic precision.
ProMint emerged as the top-performing human trader with net profits, yet the collective human cohort posted a -32.22% ROI. AI agents demonstrated superior risk management, limiting aggregate losses to $13,000 (-4.48% ROI) with zero liquidations across all 30 participants—a 100% survival rate versus 43% liquidation among human traders.
The results highlight AI's structural advantages in systematic execution during volatile periods, while suggesting human traders may struggle with emotional decision-making during nonlinear price movements.
