PopDEX

We have completed a $30M funding round led by @ForesightVen to build a trader-first Perp DEX focused on capital efficiency, trading experience, and returning platform value to real contributors. The funding will be used to provide initial liquidity, enhance trading depth, accelerate product development, expand the core team, and strengthen PopDEX’s presence across global markets and communities. PopDEX is now inviting selected traders to join our PopLab Closed Test, which is the early testing and co-building program for us as we continue refining the product with the community. The testing phase will focus on improving the trading process, capital efficiency, product interaction, risk control, and user experience. Join to be a part of our early community: t.me/popdex

From our side event earlier this week to two busy days at the @WebX_Asia main venue, Tokyo was full of good conversations. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, asked questions, shared feedback, and took the time to learn more about PopDEX. See you again, Tokyo.

Yesterday we kicked off WebX week with the Onchain Trading Forum 2026. Packed room, great questions, and plenty of honest conversation around liquidity, market structure for Perp DEXs, and what active traders actually need onchain. Big thanks to all the speakers, everyone who came through, and our co-hosts @ForesightVen @0xC_Web3 for making it happen. Now onto WebX. Catch us at the main venue. 🇯🇵

🎙️Panel 2: Institutional Liquidity and Market Structure for Perp DEX Language: English This panel will focus on the institutional liquidity, efficient market structure, stronger execution, and sustainable alignment between traders, LPs, market makers, and protocols with Bryan from @ForesightVen, Morokitch from @BitgetWallet and Ciel from @ambergroup_io.

🎙️Panel 1: What Active Traders Really Need from Onchain Perps Language: Japanese This panel will focus on the real requirements of active traders: execution quality, liquidity depth, trading tools, risk management, market structure, and whether onchain perps can truly compete with centralized venues with Kida Yosuke from @ichizenholdings, Usui Takumi from MIDWAY CAPITAL, Kawaguchi Yoshiki from @0xC_Web3 and the FX trader @trend_liner.

Tokyo traders, tomorrow we meet. 👀 PopDEX will co-host Onchain Trading Forum 2026 — Active Traders & Institutional Liquidity during WebX Japan.

What if the next dex you're waiting for isn't trying to copy everyone else ? I just got access to the latest @popdex_ public closed beta running live on mainnet and my first impression has been really awesome and the experience already feels different from most dexs out there. Everything feels smooth and you can tell the team has focused on building something that actually makes sense for traders. I'm still exploring the platform but if they keep shipping at this pace i think a lot of people are going to be surprised when the next phase opens. Huge respect to the team for the work they've put in so far. looking forward to testing more and sharing my thoughts along the way.

Beta starts with real traders. Gates open in phases. Wallet-native access comes next.💙

Pieces are moving. One path is opening. PopLab Closed Beta starts now. Don't be sidelined Early access is now open Xtra early for mainnet

From here, access will expand in phases: Early testnet traders. Limited invitations. Full public mainnet. The website is live, and early access applications remain open. popdex.xyz Trade. Pop. Repeat.

PopDEX is partnering with @BitgetWallet as our first officially announced deep integration partner. 💜 & 🩵 This marks an important step in bringing PopDEX’s trader-first perp experience to a broader onchain user base. Bitget Wallet will become a key access layer for PopDEX, helping users move more easily from wallet access to onchain perp trading. Together, we are working toward a wallet-native trading flow built around: - easier access - smoother onboarding - onchain perp execution - contributor-aligned value return This is not just another integration. It is a step toward making professional onchain perp trading more accessible to real traders, communities, brokers, and contributors. More details on the integration and launch activities will be revealed soon.
