PopLab Beta Test Notes 004 🤖 The next phase of PopLab is taking shape. Over the past two weeks, the focus has shifted from core beta setup toward preparing PopDEX for broader market access. Invitation pathways are being refined for the transition from early traders to public participation, while trader feedback continues to shape the details of the live trading experience. The next major unlock is market expansion. PopDEX is preparing to broaden its perp universe beyond the initial markets, with new crypto assets and RWA markets planned for the public mainnet phase. The goal is not simply to add more tickers, but to build a wider trading environment with more opportunities, more strategies, and more reasons for traders to stay active. We are also preparing a new set of public-mainnet campaigns designed around real participation, transparent mechanics, and meaningful surprises for traders, contributors, and communities. More markets. More access. More to Pop.
