PopDEX in Singapore 🇸🇬 We hosted our VIP Perps Lunch during TOKEN2049, bringing traders, builders, partners, and friends together around one table. We talked about what actually matters to traders and where PopDEX is heading next. Thanks to everyone who enjoyed the lunch with us. PopDEX is being built with traders at the table. 💜 See you at the next one.

PopDEX spent two days at Chain Vibe KL by @ccacc_hub , meeting traders, partners, and community members from across Malaysia’s growing Web3 ecosystem 🇲🇾 We got a better feel for trading habits in Malaysia and what they want from onchain markets. We also shared what’s next for PopDEX with traders who wanted to dig deeper. A productive stop in Kuala Lumpur.

The PopDEX Trader Court is now in session. Your previous Perp DEX is on trial. You are the witness. Submit one piece of evidence: - A liquidation or abnormal price move that felt unfair - A fill with extreme slippage or unexpected fees - An outage or trading disruption during major market volatility - A financial mechanism that felt unfair or poorly designed - The reason you decided to leave your last Perp DEX The Court is reviewing the evidence and learning from the things traders never want to experience again to build the platform you actually want to trade on. Selected submissions will receive a PopDEX Closed Beta invite code and qualify for feedback rewards in the next round.

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:
