SunPerp’s rebrand presentation was broadcast live on HTX. SunPerp and HTX advisor Justin Sun attended the event to officially announce that SunPerp will be rebranded to SunX (sunx.io).
This upgrade marks SunX’s transformation from a standalone trading platform to a self-reinforcing, self-growing decentralized ecosystem. To celebrate the brand relaunch, SunX simultaneously announced the first phase of the “Trade to Earn” event with a total prize pool of 1.35 million USDT, offering users around the world exceptionally high commission rebates.
Brand evolution: From platform to ecosystem, ‘X’ means endless possibilities
At the launch, Justin Sun said that DEXs are gradually becoming a dominant force in the crypto industry, and the transition from a “platform” to an “ecosystem” is at the heart of the SunX upgrade. The new brand name, SunX, is more concise, globally oriented, and easier to remember for users around the world. The letter “X” represents:
● eXtension (Infinity): Infinite expansion of the ecosystem.
●eXperience: An excellent trading experience.
● eXchange (Future Trading): Future trading model.
Justin Sun explained that this reflects the team’s new vision for the future of DeFi, showing that SunX will be smarter, more open, and more fluid than anything we’ve built before.
Long-term vision: Leveraging the “Golden Triangle of Decentralized Exchange” to deliver the ultimate user experience
According to Justin Sun, the upgrade to SunX is not happening in isolation, but is being driven by strategic cooperation between the “golden triangle of decentralized trading” formed by HTX, TRON, and SUN.
TRON provides a high-performance underlying infrastructure. HTX acts as a global traffic gateway connecting users around the world. SUN serves as the ecosystem’s core engine of innovation and liquidity.
“DEX market share has skyrocketed from less than 5% to 20%, which is surprising. However, for DEXs to truly go mainstream, challenges such as security, risk management, and user experience will need to be addressed. Beyond that, user experience will remain a core focus of perpetual DEX competition in 2026.”
To this end, SunX has dedicated the past two months to improving order book liquidity, market depth, and low-latency trading experience. Sun said the team is prioritizing security and product stability, which are the real determinants of long-term user retention, rather than chasing temporary traffic spikes.
He added that SunX is operating without short-term profit pressure, backed by two highly profitable ecosystems, TRON and HTX. This will allow the company to have a “long-term” vision to continue subsidizing users through zero gas fees and negative manufacturer commission rates until the user experience matches or even exceeds that of centralized exchanges, thereby allowing it to capture a larger share of the mainstream market.
Strategic roadmap: security first, multi-chain development, global expansion
In a subsequent media and KOL Q&A session, Justin Sun shared additional strategic insights.
Regarding SunX’s strategic roadmap, Sun emphasized that security will always be its top priority. Based on this foundation, SunX will no longer be limited to the TRON ecosystem, but will gradually expand to more major public chains with the goal of breaking the cross-chain barrier.
Regarding market expansion, SunX remains committed to serving users around the world. At the same time, the project aims to bring the vast user base of HTX and Poloniex onto SunX and provide a truly decentralized perpetual futures trading experience.
User benefits: “Trade to Earn” is now live and manufacturers earn 110% commission rebates
As its first post-rebrand initiative, SunX is rolling out a very attractive incentive program.
The first phase of the “Trade to Earn” event will run from 12:00 (UTC) on November 21st to 12:00 (UTC) on December 6th, with a total prize pool of 1.35 million USDT.
During the event, users who trade BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT, and SUN/USDT perpetual futures will receive a full rebate on all trading fees, plus additional $SUN token rewards. Maker traders can enjoy up to 110% commission rebates, while taker traders receive 107%. Each user can earn up to 500 USDT per hour.
This campaign will also play an important role in strengthening the $SUN token economy. All net commissions generated from registered participants trading designated trading pairs during the event will be used to buy back $SUN of HTX, supporting the steady rise of HTX. The repurchased $SUN will be fully burned and burned at the end of each quarter (specific date to be determined), causing sustained deflation to reward long-term supporters of the ecosystem.
On the eve of the DEX breakthrough, backed by the “Golden Triangle of Decentralized Trading” and with an unparalleled user experience, SunX is reshaping the industry standard for on-chain derivatives trading. From this moment on, a smarter and more secure SunX ecosystem with limitless possibilities is ready to take off, and we look forward to ushering in a new era of decentralized trading with users around the world.
