All-new solana:HZ1JovNiVvGrGNiiYvEozEVgZ58xaU3RKwX8eACQBCt3 powered perps DEX goes live. @popdex_, a new perps DEX that emphasises a trader-first approach, launched its official Open Beta phase on October 19. Two things that make the platform interesting... (1) The DEX is powered by @PythNetwork's Pyth Pro. The 2025-launched institutional-grade, subscription-based market data service. (2) PopDEX' MegaPop Rewards Program, which implements an on-chain, weekly stablecoin reward system for traders, seeded initially with 150,000 $USDT.

Round 5 of the PopDEX rewards has been airdropped. For Trader & Contributor Rewards, this round covers activity from Sep 20 to Oct 4. PopDEX web users with $300K+ cumulative trading volume were eligible. Top trader reward: $8,000 USDT There’s still one final Closed Beta reward round to go. This round will be bigger than the previous ones, with increased cash rewards and a review of contribution across the entire Closed Beta period. And early participation will count for more than cash rewards. Eligible traders, testers, and contributors will also receive retroactive MegaPop recognition as we carry PopDEX into the next chapter. You were early for a reason. 💜
