Recently, the continuous surge in Aster’s price has driven the popularity of the perpetual contract DEX track to rise rapidly. Currently, Aster’s second season airdrop event is in full swing, and the platform’s perpetual contract trading volume has also soared, reaching Hyperliquid more than twice.

With the influx of more and more "on-chain scientists," Aster's daily points have skyrocketed. Many "money-grabbers" not only have to bear high transaction costs, but their allocated daily points are also being diluted, significantly reducing their actual profit potential. To make matters worse, the official announcement prohibits scripting and other operations. Once identified as a "witch," all previous efforts will be forfeited.

In fact, besides Aster, there's another overlooked opportunity: StandX, a perpetual contract DEX built by the Binance OG team. In comparison, StandX offers virtually zero friction in interactions, considerable potential airdrop value, and its Binance OG background makes it a highly discussed topic.

Project Introduction

StandX is a decentralized finance project founded by former core members of the Binance Futures team, focusing on the integration of synthetic stablecoins and perpetual contract DEX .

• Founding background: The core team includes Aaron Gong, former head of Binance contracts, and Justin, former director of Binance contracts. After leaving Binance in 2024, the two chose to start a business in emerging on-chain fields.
• Project Positioning: StandX aims to integrate Ethena-style synthetic stablecoin mechanism with Hyperliquid-style decentralized contract trading model to form a complete financial ecosystem.
• Vision and Goal: The team believes that stablecoins and decentralized contracts are two key tracks in the blockchain industry. StandX hopes to combine the two through innovative design to provide users with efficient, secure, and transparent trading and stable value storage solutions.

Next, Odaily Planet Daily will guide everyone to participate in StandX's "no transaction loss" pre-deposit stablecoin event, apply for the Perps whitelist, and receive the new ASTER character on Discord launched yesterday.

Step-by-step interactive tutorial

According to feedback from multiple community members, StandX's Perp DEX product may be available to users soon. Before the trading product launches, the most direct way to participate in StandX is through the Pre-Deposit program, which currently boasts over $85 million in TVL and ends on October 31st.

Participate in pre-deposit activities

STEP 1. Go to the interactive website (link: https://standx.com/ ), connect your wallet, click "SIGN IN" and then click "Accept Referral" to receive a 5% bonus on your points.

STEP 2. In the "POINT EARNING VENUES" section, find "DUSD" and click "Mint" to participate in the pre-deposit. A minimum deposit of 50 USDT/USDC is required, which will be automatically converted to DUSD at a 1:1 ratio. The current APY is 5.96%. Depositing DUSD will earn you PTS points daily. For example, if you deposit 1,000 USDT and convert it all to DUSD for one day, you will earn 1,000 points: 1,000 × 1 = 1,000.

STEP 3. In the "POINT EARNING VENUES" section, find "DLiquidity Provider" and click "Earn Trading Fee + Yield" to create an LP pool for the DUSD-USDT trading pair and receive a 1.1x/1.4x points bonus.

In addition, if you need money temporarily and want to withdraw your deposited USDT/USDC, you can choose Redeem, which is wear-free, but you need to wait for 7 days.

Alternatively, you can choose to swap, which will incur transaction losses. The advantage is that you can get USDT/USDC immediately. On the other hand, using swap will earn you corresponding points (10% of the transaction amount).
