MegaPop begins with PopDEX Open Beta on October 19 3AM UTC (October 18 at 11 PM ET & October 19 at 11 AM UTC+8). #TimeToPop# MegaPop is PopDEX's first core rewards system for traders. Every week, an on-chain draw settled by a Bitcoin block hash decides the winners. No one can influence the result, and anyone can verify it. With many points systems, traders wait months to find out what their trading was worth, and the rules can change along the way. MegaPop pays out every week from a public Prize Pool, funded by 40% of net protocol trading fees under PopDEX's 100% Value Return model. The more the market trades, the bigger the pool gets. A single Ticket can win far beyond its share of volume, with prizes potentially reaching seven figures over time. How it works: - Eligible trading generates Pop Tickets in real time, based on trading activity, not raw volume alone - Every Ticket automatically enters the weekly Pop Draw - Each draw uses a predetermined Bitcoin block hash to generate a six-digit Pop Hash - Tickets are matched against the Pop Hash to decide winners across multiple prize tiers Launch boosts: - 2x Pop Tickets for eligible traders during the first six weeks - The Prize Pool starts with 150,000 USDT funded by PopDEX - At 300,000 cumulative Pop Tickets, PopDEX adds another 100,000 USDT Full rules:

Not all draws are called MegaPop 🎟️ Traditional lotteries like Powerball and Mega Millions make you pay to buy tickets, pick numbers and wait for a centrally administered draw. But on PopDEX, eligible trading earns you Pop Tickets automatically. And each weekly result comes from a public Bitcoin Block Hash, so anyone can verify the draw. The odds also tell a very different story. MegaPop's jackpot odds are 292.2x higher than Powerball and 290.5x higher than Mega Millions. The odds of winning any prize are also 2.84x and 2.63x higher, respectively. Trade on PopDEX, collect your Pop Tickets, and reply to this tweet with your feedback on MegaPop. We are listening!

Trick or Ticket? 🎃 Reply with: TRICK if you think the market is about to scare you. Reply with: TICKET if you’re stacking chances for the draw on Nov 2nd 3AM UTC. The next MegaPop Draw is still ahead, and the Prize Pool is still growing. Trade on PopDEX before this week’s cycle closes to earn your Tickets and take your shot at the next Pop.

60,000 Pop Tickets. Less than 2 weeks. 🎟️🔥 We're already 20% of the way to 300,000 Tickets, and once we hit it, PopDEX adds another 100,000 USDT from its own budget to the Prize Pool. The market dumped. MegaPop didn't. The Prize Pool is now bigger than Epoch #1#, and the Mega Prize has climbed to 92K USDT. Nobody won it last week. Someone could on Monday. Trade on PopDEX now to get your Tickets in before it's gone. ⏳

Your fee rate is only part of the trade. On PopDEX, VIP 0 taker fees are 3.2 bps, and you can unlock better VIP rates faster as you trade, no token staking required. VIP is only the first layer. Once Referral, MegaPop rewards, and extra boosts kick in, your effective taker cost can often fall below 1 bp. And that’s before the extra upside of hitting one of the major weekly prizes. Same trade. More value coming back to you. Register, check your VIP rate and start trading on PopDEX! 💥

THE FIRST POP DRAW IS FINALLY IN. #ProofOfPop# This week’s Pop Hash: [631548] Verify it here: Two traders, 0x1faf...2251 and 0x5f56...d34c, matched 5 digits and each received 8,371 USDT from the Super Prize. In total, 4,067 winning Tickets received 42,646 USDT in rewards this round. No one hit the Mega Prize this week. The biggest Pop is still waiting for its trader. 166,688 USDT rolls directly into next week’s MegaPop Prize Pool. The pool keeps growing with real trading and has no fixed ceiling. Check your Tickets, start trading, and take your shot at the next Pop. 👀

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. 💜
