Hot Perp DEX Recent Updates: Find the Best Way to Participate

Odaily星球日报Publicado a 2025-12-18Actualizado a 2025-12-18

Resumen

Despite a generally cool market, Perp DEX platforms remain highly active due to airdrop incentives and stable trading volumes. Here are key updates from three popular Perp DEXs: **StandX** launched its mainnet trading points program, with daily volume exceeding $100 million. Users earn points by depositing DUSD, providing liquidity, trading, or inviting friends. A trading competition is planned, along with more trading pairs. **Aster**, currently leading in daily trading volume among Perp DEXs, continues its monthly airdrop campaigns. Phase 4 is ongoing until Dec 22, and Phase 5 will run from Dec 22 to Feb 1, 2026, distributing 1.2% of total supply. Aster has also increased its daily buyback and burn rate to ~$4 million and launched a human vs. AI trading competition. **Lighter** has been added to Coinbase's listing roadmap, but its TGE may be delayed until late December or early January. Its points system for traders remains opaque ("a blind box"), considering factors like volume and PnL. The team emphasizes a long-term approach to token value rather than a pump at launch.

Although the overall market has been relatively cold recently, driven by incentives such as token airdrops, the community discussion around the Perp DEX sector remains highly active, and daily trading volume has remained stable without significant decline. Next, Odaily Planet Daily will summarize the recent key updates from 3 highly discussed Perp DEX platforms to see what offers the best value at this stage.

StandX: Trading Points Activity Now Live on Mainnet, Trading Competition Coming Soon

On December 10, StandX announced on platform X that the trading points activity is now live on the mainnet, with the first day's trading volume exceeding $81 million, and reaching over $100 million on December 16. Users can earn points by depositing DUSD into the Perps Wallet, Vaults, or actively participating in trading (Interaction link: https://standx.com/).

This event is in cooperation with Binance Wallet. Users using Binance Wallet's keyless extension wallet will receive a 10% points bonus, which lasts for 4 weeks until January 7, 2026. Points will be retroactively awarded for all past transactions since the mainnet launch.

Furthermore, core team member Justin participated in a Chinese AMA in early December. Odaily Planet Daily summarizes the key points below:

Q1: Is there a depegging risk for the built-in stablecoin (DUSD)? How secure is it?

A1: The DUSD mechanism is secure and fully collateralized, with underlying assets like BTC and ETH; it uses a "spot long + perpetual short" basis trading strategy to maintain "market neutrality." This means the total asset value remains stable in U terms regardless of price fluctuations, only earning funding rates without bearing the risk of price volatility.

Q2: What's the difference between the Mainnet and the previous Alpha testnet?

A2: The Alpha phase used test coins, primarily for testing product features and distributing "testnet points"; the Mainnet phase uses real funds, requiring users to deposit actual USDT for trading. The current points are "mainnet points," whose value and weight differ from the testnet.

Q3: What are the project's future plans?

A3: StandX is about to launch a trading competition and plans to list more altcoin perpetual pairs. Simultaneously, the team will continue optimizing the product experience, aiming for a CEX-like (centralized Exchange) experience on the DEX.

Q4: What is the proportion of trading points vs. deposit points for the airdrop?

A4: This hasn't been finalized yet because we are currently separating points from each phase and each type, meaning rewards are earned separately. We will comprehensively evaluate the contribution of each user type and point type to the overall StandX product and ecosystem before the airdrop to decide the reward proportions.

Complete Guide to Earning StandX Points

Method 1: Deposit DUSD to get tDUSD (1.2x points), specific steps:

  • Mint DUSD with USDT/USDC;
  • Deposit DUSD into the Perps wallet to convert it to tDUSD;
  • Every 1000 tDUSD / day = 1200 points;
  • Lossless participation, suitable for newcomers and users who don't trade.

Method 2: Provide LP, points rules:

  • DUSD: Each DUSD earns 1 point per day;
  • USDT/USDC: Each USDT/USDC earns 1.2 points per day.

For example, 1000 DUSD + 1000 USDT → 2200 points/day.

Method 3: SWAP trading to earn points (specified trading pairs), every 100 DUSD trading volume = 5 points.

This method has significant slippage; "point farmers" should participate cautiously.

Method 4: Invite friends, both parties get an additional 5% points bonus.

Method 5: Trade on the StandX mainnet to earn points.

  • If profitable: More profit means more tDUSD, leading to higher points;
  • If loss: If the loss exceeds 50% of the initial capital, points are still given based on 50% of the initial capital.

Additionally, the daily trading check-in event is worth participating in. Complete two trades over $100 daily to earn 10 points.

The StandX trade-to-earn points for token airdrop is still in its early stages. Judging by the daily trading volume, it's not "very competitive" currently, making it relatively easy to earn points. It's worth participating in; even if you don't farm trading volume for points, you can deposit stablecoins to "freeload" points daily.

Aster: Monthly Airdrops + Regular Buyback & Burn; Launches Human vs. AI Trading Duel

According to the latest data from DeFiLlama, Aster's daily trading volume has recently surpassed that of Lighter (which has the highest token launch expectations), ranking first among Perp DEX projects.

Perp DEX Data

Although Aster has completed its TGE, its airdrop activities continue to progress, operating on a monthly cycle with short interaction periods and clear rewards.

Phase 4 Token Airdrop Ongoing

Currently, Phase 4 Aster Harvest officially started at 8:00 AM UTC on November 10 and will last until 7:59 AM UTC on December 22, 2025. This phase will distribute 1.5% of the total ASTER token supply, allocated equally across six epoch cycles, with 0.25% allocated per epoch.

Phase 5 Token Airdrop Starts December 22, Lasts 6 Weeks

Phase 5 Aster Crystal will begin after Phase 4 Aster Harvest concludes. Specific details are as follows:

  • Duration: 6 weeks (December 22, 2025, to February 1, 2026);
  • Allocation: 1.2% of the total supply (approx. 96 million ASTER) for Phase 5, with 0.6% claimable immediately after the event ends and the other 0.6% subject to a 3-month lock-up.

Additionally, Aster will launch the Aster chain testnet by the end of this year, the mainnet in Q1 next year, and token staking and governance functions in Q2.

Accelerates Phase 4 Buyback Execution, Daily Buyback Scale Increased to ~$4 Million

According to the latest announcement from the ASTER team, the buyback speed for Phase 4 will be increased under the existing mechanism. The accelerated buyback scale increased from approximately $3 million/day to about $4 million/day starting December 8.

The official statement said this move allows faster on-chain deployment of the fees accumulated since November 10 for Phase 4 buybacks and strengthens support during market volatility. Based on current fee levels, it's estimated that stable execution of the buyback will be reached within 8 to 10 days, after which the daily buyback scale will continue to be maintained between 60% and 90% of the previous day's revenue as per Phase 4 rules.

The team emphasized that all operations remain transparently executed on-chain, with no changes to the relevant execution wallet address (Address link: https://bscscan.com/address/0x573ca9ff6b7f164dff513077850d5cd796006ff4).

Additionally, Aster burned 77.86 million ASTER repurchased in Season 3 on December 5, worth nearly $80 million.

Launches Human vs. AI Trading Duel

On December 9, Aster announced on platform X that the Human vs. AI trading duel is live. 70 funded human traders are competing against 30 AI agents run by @nofA_ai (initial capital $10,000 each). The trading duel runs from December 9 to December 23.

As of now, only 29 out of the 100 traders (human and AI) are profitable. Among them, only 9 have profits exceeding $5,000—8 are human traders, and 1 is AI. The top performer is human trader Tippy, with profits as high as $47,000, far ahead.

Lighter: To List on Coinbase, but TGE Might Be Delayed

Since Lighter announced the completion of a $68 million funding round on November 11, valuing the company at $1.5 billion post-funding, its daily trading volume has consistently remained at the forefront of Perp DEXs, often ranking first. Regarding Q2 points, the official distribution is scheduled for every Friday. Market makers are allocated 50,000 points weekly (only advanced accounts are eligible to earn points through market making). Regular trading users are allocated 200,000 points weekly. Factors influencing points include: trading volume, open interest, account equity, leverage, profit/loss amount, and trading categories, but the specific weights have not been disclosed, making it a "blind box."

On December 13, Coinbase Markets announced on platform X that Lighter had been added to its listing roadmap, leading community members to believe Lighter's TGE is imminent.

Coinbase Adds Lighter to Listing Roadmap

However, based on feedback from participants in Lighter's Japanese AMA, the TGE might be delayed to between December 24 and January 1 next year. Influenced by this news, the probability of "No" in the Polymarket event "Will Lighter airdrop tokens this year?" increased from just 8% on December 16 to 33%.

Polymarket Event: "Will Lighter Airdrop Tokens This Year?"

Furthermore, in a recent podcast interview on The Chopping Block, Lighter founder and CEO Vladimir Novakovski, when asked about the token, stated: "From an expectation management perspective, this is a marathon, not a sprint. The team and early community don't really anticipate a 'day one moonshot.' A more realistic expectation is starting from a relatively healthy position, with the overall trend gradually improving as we continue building the product. Our goal is clearly not to maximize value on day one, but to have it in a healthy state in the current market environment, and then iterate from there. We've seen too many tokens pump hard on day one and then trend downwards."

Coinbase Is Pulling Institutional Investors Into XRP And This Is How They’re Doing It

Coinbase is launching a Trade at Settlement (TAS) feature for XRP futures on May 1, aimed at attracting institutional investors. This tool allows large participants to execute block trades at the official settlement price, reducing exposure to intraday volatility and slippage. The move is part of a broader effort to improve liquidity on Coinbase’s derivatives platform, applying to both nano and full-sized XRP futures. The development coincides with growing institutional interest in XRP, including $75 million in inflows into XRP ETFs this month and SoFi Bank’s recent support for XRP deposits. Ripple highlighted that regulatory clarity and network utility are driving adoption, with XRP trading around $1.42 at the time of writing.

Qubic Launches Dogecoin Mining Phase 3: What It Means For DOGE

Qubic has fully transitioned to its Dogecoin-focused mining architecture, marking the start of Phase 3 and removing Monero from its operations. The new system dedicates ASICs entirely to mining Dogecoin (DOGE) while CPUs and GPUs are used to train its AI framework, Aigarth—both running simultaneously at full capacity without alternating. The project claims this model offers higher profitability, reporting a 32% increase in daily earnings compared to traditional DOGE mining pools. Additionally, Qubic uses a circular capital mechanism where mined DOGE is sold to buy back its native token QU, which is then distributed to participants. While Qubic’s current hashrate share remains small (around 0.086%), the shift represents a tangible entry into Dogecoin mining. The focus now is on whether the project can scale its operations and impact DOGE mining landscape meaningfully. At the time of writing, DOGE was trading at $0.09791.

The Last XRP Wave E Resistance To Watch Before The Surge

XRP is approaching a critical technical resistance zone between $1.50 and $1.53, identified by analyst CasiTrades as the final Wave E resistance in its current consolidation phase. This level is reinforced by a confluence of Fibonacci extensions, retracements, and a descending trendline. Holding above the $1.39 support is essential for maintaining the bullish structure. Momentum indicators like RSI suggest room for upward movement, though a rejection near resistance could lead to a retracement toward $1.09–$0.87. The analysis also notes that Bitcoin's movement toward $79,000 may influence XRP's timing near this key level.

Bitcoin Could Survive Sale Of Satoshi’s Coins, On-Chain Expert Says

On-chain analyst James Check argues that a potential quantum-enabled sale of Satoshi-era Bitcoin would not be an existential threat to the market, despite concerns. While approximately 6.934 million BTC are theoretically vulnerable due to exposed public keys, Check contends the real risk is much smaller. He identifies only 1.716 million BTC in old P2PK outputs as the primary concern, comparing a full liquidation to 60-90 days of typical sell-side pressure in a bull market—significant but not fatal. Check emphasizes that the core debate is less about market impact and more about the philosophical principle of whether Bitcoin should intervene to freeze vulnerable coins or preserve absolute property rights.

Long-Term Outlooks Suggest Ozak AI Could Sustain Multi-Dollar Price Levels Through Multiple Market Cycles

Long-term analyst outlooks suggest Ozak AI ($OZ) could sustain multi-dollar price levels across multiple market cycles, rather than retracing after an initial spike. Currently priced at $0.014 in presale with over $6.8M raised, the project is viewed as a long-term AI infrastructure asset rather than a short-term trade. Key factors supporting this view include its utility-driven demand, capital-efficient pricing structure, and ecosystem integrations with partners like Pyth Network and SINT. Analysts highlight that Ozak AI’s lower initial valuation requires smaller capital inflows to maintain higher price zones, increasing the likelihood of stability in the $3–$5 range as adoption grows. The platform’s AI Prediction Agents, data vaults, and EigenLayer AVS validation are expected to generate persistent token demand through various market conditions.

Qué es HOLO

Entendiendo HOLO: El Futuro de las Aplicaciones Descentralizadas Introducción a HOLO, $holo En el paisaje en rápida evolución de las criptomonedas y las tecnologías descentralizadas, HOLO, también conocido como Holo, ha emergido como un jugador notable. Este proyecto innovador facilita el desarrollo de aplicaciones descentralizadas (DApps) a través de su arquitectura subyacente conocida como Holochain. Con la visión de crear un puente entre el internet centralizado que conocemos hoy y el ecosistema descentralizado del futuro, HOLO tiene como objetivo hacer que las DApps sean accesibles para el usuario cotidiano sin los obstáculos de instalaciones complejas y habilidades técnicas. ¿Qué es HOLO, $holo? En su núcleo, HOLO es una plataforma distribuida diseñada para alojar DApps construidas sobre Holochain. A diferencia de las plataformas de blockchain tradicionales, Holochain adopta un enfoque único al permitir que cada aplicación funcione bajo su propio conjunto de reglas. El mandato de HOLO es conectar estas aplicaciones Holochain (hApps) con los usuarios a través de tecnologías web familiares. El objetivo principal de HOLO es democratizar el acceso y uso de las DApps al permitir que los usuarios accedan a estas aplicaciones directamente a través de navegadores web estándar. Esta accesibilidad es clave para reducir la fricción para los usuarios promedio de internet, permitiéndoles utilizar aplicaciones de próxima generación sin necesidad de navegar por las complejidades a menudo asociadas con las criptomonedas y el uso de DApps. Creador de HOLO, $holo HOLO surge de la visión de sus creadores, Arthur Brock y Eric Harris-Braun. Ambos son desarrolladores experimentados y codificadores de contratos, y comenzaron el proyecto en diciembre de 2016 como parte del Proyecto MetaCurrency. Esta iniciativa se centró inicialmente en desarrollar herramientas y tecnologías destinadas a fomentar una economía de igual a igual. Sus antecedentes en codificación y emprendimientos los posicionaron de manera única para abordar los desafíos del desarrollo y alojamiento de aplicaciones descentralizadas. Inversores de HOLO, $holo Si bien los detalles específicos sobre inversores individuales en HOLO no están fácilmente disponibles, es evidente que el proyecto ha recibido un respaldo y atención significativos de la comunidad de criptomonedas en general. Su enfoque innovador para alojar aplicaciones descentralizadas, junto con una comunidad de apoyo, ha alimentado el interés y la inversión en el proyecto. ¿Cómo funciona HOLO, $holo? HOLO opera creando un extenso ecosistema en el que los anfitriones contribuyen con almacenamiento y poder de procesamiento para las DApps basadas en Holochain. Al convertir sus dispositivos o incluso hardware dedicado como HoloPorts en nodos de alojamiento, los individuos pueden monetizar efectivamente los recursos no utilizados de sus computadoras. Los componentes funcionales clave de HOLO incluyen: Proveedor de Aplicaciones: Estas entidades compran créditos de alojamiento de HOLO, que se mantienen en una cuenta de reserva. Este mecanismo permite a los desarrolladores de DApp asegurar los recursos necesarios para ejecutar sus aplicaciones. Anfitrión: Individuos u organizaciones que eligen alojar DApps generan registros de servicio firmados a medida que responden a las solicitudes de los usuarios. Este proceso asegura que todas las interacciones en la red sean rastreadas y autenticadas. Prueba de Servicio: Un elemento crucial de la integridad operativa de HOLO, los anfitriones envían facturas a los proveedores de aplicaciones, que luego validan el servicio proporcionado. Tras la validación, los anfitriones reciben compensación en forma de créditos de alojamiento. HoloFuel: Sirviendo como el token nativo de la red Holo, HoloFuel está diseñado para microtransacciones. Este token facilita el extenso rendimiento de transacciones necesario para que la plataforma soporte miles de millones de transacciones simultáneas sin problemas. La sinergia combinada de estos componentes asegura un entorno de alojamiento robusto y descentralizado, impulsando la utilidad y el alcance de las aplicaciones Holochain. Cronología de HOLO, $holo El viaje de HOLO ha estado marcado por varios hitos desde su inicio: Diciembre de 2016: La creación de HOLO por Arthur Brock y Eric Harris-Braun como parte del Proyecto MetaCurrency. 2018: La emisión de un token ERC20, conocido como HoloToken (HOT), que sirvió como un “IOU” que es canjeable por HoloFuel al lanzamiento del proyecto. Desarrollo Continuo: Avances continuos, pruebas y optimización de la red Holo y HoloFuel, asegurando que el proyecto permanezca a la vanguardia de la tecnología de alojamiento de aplicaciones descentralizadas. Características Únicas de HOLO, $holo HOLO se destaca en el abarrotado campo de las criptomonedas y plataformas descentralizadas debido a sus características distintivas y el marco innovador en el que opera: Alojamiento de Igual a Igual: HOLO abre la puerta para que cualquiera se convierta en anfitrión de DApps simplemente utilizando sus computadoras. Esta democratización del alojamiento es similar a cómo plataformas como Airbnb interrumpieron la industria hotelera tradicional al empoderar a los individuos para participar en la economía. Marco Holochain: Central a las innovaciones de HOLO está el marco Holochain en sí. Posicionado como una tecnología de próxima generación, Holochain cuenta con escalabilidad sin igual, velocidades de transacción rápidas, eficiencia energética excepcional y rentabilidad en comparación con las tecnologías de blockchain convencionales. HoloFuel para Microtransacciones: HoloFuel está meticulosamente diseñado para acomodar microtransacciones, permitiendo que la red Holo gestione de manera eficiente miles de millones de transacciones simultáneamente. Esta capacidad es fundamental para la adopción generalizada, permitiendo a los desarrolladores crear aplicaciones que sean económicamente viables a gran escala. Conclusión HOLO representa un avance significativo en el panorama de las aplicaciones descentralizadas y la tecnología blockchain. Con su infraestructura robusta, enfoque amigable para el usuario y el innovador marco Holochain, HOLO está preparado para desempeñar un papel crucial en el futuro de la web. Si mejorará las experiencias cotidianas de internet o redefinirá cómo los desarrolladores y usuarios interactúan con las aplicaciones digitales sigue siendo una incógnita, pero su progreso hasta ahora vale la pena seguirlo a medida que el mundo continúa avanzando hacia una economía digital descentralizada. A medida que el proyecto evoluciona, sus desarrollos continuos y el compromiso de la comunidad serán componentes cruciales de su éxito, estableciendo potencialmente a HOLO como una plataforma principal para aplicaciones descentralizadas. Con el creciente interés en torno a las tecnologías descentralizadas, la importancia e impacto de proyectos como HOLO solo aumentarán en los años venideros.
