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

Odaily星球日报Publicado em 2025-12-18Última atualização em 2025-12-18

Resumo

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."

Circle CEO's Seoul Visit: No Korean Won Stablecoin Issuance, But Met All Major Korean Banks

Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire's recent activities in Seoul indicate a strategic shift for the company, moving away from issuing a Korean won-backed stablecoin and instead focusing on embedding itself as a key infrastructure provider within Korea’s financial and crypto ecosystem. Despite Korea accounting for nearly 30% of global crypto trading volume—with a market characterized by high retail participation and altcoin dominance—Circle has chosen not to compete for the role of stablecoin issuer. Instead, Allaire met with major Korean banks (including Shinhan, KB, and Woori), financial groups, leading exchanges (Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone), and tech firms like Kakao. This approach reflects a broader industry transition: the core of stablecoin competition is shifting from issuance rights to systemic positioning. With Korean regulators still debating whether banks or tech companies should issue stablecoins, Circle is avoiding regulatory uncertainty by strengthening its role as a service and technology partner. The company is deepening integration with trading platforms, building connections, and promoting stablecoin infrastructure. This positions Circle to benefit regardless of which entity eventually issues a won stablecoin. Allaire also noted the potential for a Chinese yuan stablecoin in the next 3–5 years, underscoring a regional trend of stablecoins becoming more regulated and integrated with traditional finance. Ultimately, Circle’s strategy highlights that future influence in the stablecoin market will belong not necessarily to the issuers, but to the foundational infrastructure layers that enable cross-system transactions.

SpaceX Ties Up with Cursor: A High-Stakes AI Gambit of 'Lock First, Acquire Later'

SpaceX has secured an option to acquire AI programming company Cursor for $60 billion, with an alternative clause requiring a $10 billion collaboration fee if the acquisition does not proceed. This structure is not merely a potential acquisition but a strategic move to control core access points in the AI era. The deal is designed as a flexible, dual-path arrangement, allowing SpaceX to either fully acquire Cursor or maintain a binding partnership through high-cost collaboration. This "option-style" approach minimizes immediate regulatory and integration risks while ensuring long-term alignment between the two companies. At its core, the transaction exchanges critical AI-era resources: SpaceX provides its Colossus supercomputing cluster—one of the world’s most powerful AI training infrastructures—while Cursor contributes its AI-native developer environment and strong product adoption. This synergy connects compute power, models, and application layers, forming a closed-loop AI capability stack. Cursor, founded in 2022, has achieved rapid growth with over $1 billion in annual revenue and widespread enterprise adoption. Its value lies in transforming software development through AI agents capable of coding, debugging, and system design—positioning it as a gateway to future software production. For SpaceX, this move is part of a broader strategy to evolve from a aerospace company into an AI infrastructure empire, integrating xAI, supercomputing, and chip manufacturing. Controlling Cursor fills a gap in its developer tooling layer, strengthening its AI narrative ahead of a potential IPO. The deal reflects a shift in AI competition from model superiority to ecosystem and entry-point control. With programming tools as a key battleground, securing developer loyalty becomes crucial for dominating the software production landscape. Risks include questions around Cursor’s valuation, technical integration challenges, and potential regulatory scrutiny. Nevertheless, the deal underscores a strategic bet: controlling both compute and software development access may redefine power dynamics in the AI-driven future.

O que é HOLO

Compreender o HOLO: O Futuro das Aplicações Descentralizadas Introdução ao HOLO, $holo No panorama em rápida evolução das criptomoedas e tecnologias descentralizadas, o HOLO, também conhecido como Holo, emergiu como um jogador notável. Este projeto inovador facilita o desenvolvimento de aplicações descentralizadas (DApps) através da sua arquitetura subjacente conhecida como Holochain. Com uma visão de criar uma ponte entre a internet centralizada que conhecemos hoje e o ecossistema descentralizado do futuro, o HOLO visa tornar as DApps acessíveis ao utilizador comum, sem os obstáculos de instalações complexas e habilidades técnicas. O que é HOLO, $holo? No seu cerne, o HOLO é uma plataforma distribuída projetada para hospedar DApps construídas sobre Holochain. Ao contrário das plataformas de blockchain tradicionais, o Holochain adota uma abordagem única ao permitir que cada aplicação funcione com o seu próprio conjunto de regras. O mandato do HOLO é conectar estas aplicações Holochain (hApps) com os utilizadores através de tecnologias web familiares. O objetivo principal do HOLO é democratizar o acesso e uso das DApps, permitindo que os utilizadores acedam a estas aplicações diretamente através de navegadores web padrão. Esta acessibilidade é fundamental para reduzir a fricção para os utilizadores médios da internet, permitindo-lhes utilizar aplicações de próxima geração sem precisar de navegar nas complexidades frequentemente associadas às criptomoedas e ao uso de DApps. Criadores do HOLO, $holo O HOLO surge da visão dos seus criadores, Arthur Brock e Eric Harris-Braun. Ambos são desenvolvedores experientes e programadores de contratos, e embarcaram no projeto em dezembro de 2016 como parte do MetaCurrency Project. Esta iniciativa estava inicialmente focada no desenvolvimento de ferramentas e tecnologias destinadas a fomentar uma economia peer-to-peer. Os seus antecedentes em programação e empreendimentos empresariais posicionaram-nos de forma única para enfrentar os desafios do desenvolvimento e hospedagem de aplicações descentralizadas. Investidores do HOLO, $holo Embora detalhes específicos sobre investidores individuais no HOLO não estejam facilmente disponíveis, é evidente que o projeto recebeu um apoio significativo e atenção da comunidade mais ampla de criptomoedas. A sua abordagem inovadora para a hospedagem de aplicações descentralizadas, juntamente com uma comunidade de apoio, alimentou o interesse e investimento no projeto. Como funciona o HOLO, $holo? O HOLO opera criando um extenso ecossistema onde os anfitriões contribuem com armazenamento e poder de processamento para as DApps baseadas em Holochain. Ao transformar os seus dispositivos ou até mesmo hardware dedicado como HoloPorts em nós de hospedagem, os indivíduos podem efetivamente monetizar os recursos não utilizados dos seus computadores. Os principais componentes funcionais do HOLO incluem: Fornecedor de Aplicações: Estas entidades compram créditos de hospedagem do HOLO, que são mantidos numa conta de reserva. Este mecanismo permite que os desenvolvedores de DApp garantam os recursos necessários para executar as suas aplicações. Anfitrião: Indivíduos ou organizações que escolhem hospedar DApps geram registos de serviço assinados à medida que respondem a pedidos dos utilizadores. Este processo assegura que todas as interações na rede sejam rastreadas e autenticadas. Prova de Serviço: Um elemento crucial da integridade operacional do HOLO, os anfitriões submetem faturas aos fornecedores de aplicações, que então validam o serviço prestado. Após a validação, os anfitriões recebem compensação na forma de créditos de hospedagem. HoloFuel: Servindo como o token nativo da rede Holo, o HoloFuel é projetado para microtransações. Este token facilita o extenso throughput de transações necessário para que a plataforma suporte bilhões de transações simultâneas de forma fluida. A sinergia combinada destes componentes assegura um ambiente de hospedagem robusto e descentralizado, impulsionando a utilidade e alcance das aplicações Holochain. Cronologia do HOLO, $holo A jornada do HOLO tem sido marcada por vários marcos desde a sua criação: Dezembro de 2016: A criação do HOLO por Arthur Brock e Eric Harris-Braun como parte do MetaCurrency Project. 2018: A emissão de um token ERC20, conhecido como HoloToken (HOT), serviu como um “IOU” que é resgatável por HoloFuel após o lançamento do projeto. Desenvolvimento Contínuo: Avanços contínuos, testes e otimização da rede Holo e HoloFuel, garantindo que o projeto permaneça na vanguarda da tecnologia de hospedagem de aplicações descentralizadas. Características Únicas do HOLO, $holo O HOLO destaca-se no campo saturado das criptomoedas e plataformas descentralizadas devido às suas características distintivas e à estrutura inovadora em que opera: Hospedagem Peer-to-Peer: O HOLO abre a porta para que qualquer pessoa se torne um anfitrião de DApps simplesmente utilizando os seus computadores. Esta democratização da hospedagem é semelhante à forma como plataformas como o Airbnb perturbaram a indústria hoteleira tradicional, capacitando indivíduos a participar na economia. Estrutura Holochain: Central para as inovações do HOLO está a própria estrutura Holochain. Posicionada como uma tecnologia de próxima geração, o Holochain possui escalabilidade sem igual, velocidades de transação rápidas, eficiência energética excepcional e custo-efetividade em comparação com tecnologias de blockchain convencionais. HoloFuel para Microtransações: O HoloFuel é meticulosamente projetado para acomodar microtransações, permitindo que a rede Holo gerencie eficientemente bilhões de transações simultaneamente. Esta capacidade é fundamental para a adoção em massa, permitindo que os desenvolvedores criem aplicações que sejam economicamente viáveis em grande escala. Conclusão O HOLO representa um avanço significativo no panorama das aplicações descentralizadas e da tecnologia blockchain. Com a sua infraestrutura robusta, abordagem amigável ao utilizador e a inovadora estrutura Holochain, o HOLO está preparado para desempenhar um papel crucial no futuro da web. Se irá melhorar as experiências quotidianas na internet ou redefinir a forma como desenvolvedores e utilizadores interagem com aplicações digitais, permanece por ver, mas o seu progresso até agora vale a pena acompanhar à medida que o mundo continua a mover-se em direção a uma economia digital descentralizada. À medida que o projeto evolui, os seus desenvolvimentos contínuos e o envolvimento da comunidade serão componentes cruciais do seu sucesso, potencialmente estabelecendo o HOLO como uma plataforma mainstream para aplicações descentralizadas. Com o crescente interesse em torno das tecnologias descentralizadas, a importância e o impacto de projetos como o HOLO só aumentarão nos anos vindouros.
