On October 9, 2025, SunPerp (derived from the Chinese name of “Son Wukong”), the world’s first Chinese-branded decentralized perpetual futures trading platform, was officially launched at an X Spaces session featuring Justin Sun and several prominent industry leaders. This record-breaking session, which attracted over 42,000 live listeners, quickly became a hot topic throughout the crypto community. With its official debut, SunPerp marks the beginning of a new era for Chinese-speaking crypto traders and represents a bold step in reshaping the dynamics of on-chain trading in the region.
Timely launch: Riding on the rapid growth of the Chinese-speaking market
The launch of SunPerp comes at a pivotal moment. The recent National Day holiday saw unprecedented momentum across the Chinese-language cryptocurrency community, as evidenced by viral memes, community-driven discussions, and product innovations.
“The Chinese-speaking market is strong enough to maintain its own ecosystem,” said Justin Sun, TRON founder and decentralized finance leader. “Launching SunPerp now is a strategic decision supported by consideration and timing.”
SunPerp is built as the first perpetual futures DEX tailored for Chinese-speaking users, with native Chinese branding, interface, and domain. This focus is designed to provide a smoother and more intuitive trading experience. The new official domain – sunwukong.io – is now live and highlights the platform’s commitment to accessibility and localized brand identity.
To celebrate this launch, SunPerp will be holding a limited time community giveaway on social media until October 15th at 12:00 UTC. Users who follow @sunwukong_DEX on X (formerly Twitter), repost, tag 3 friends, and comment are eligible for multiple rewards, including:
Grand Prize (10 winners, each receiving 100 USDT) Community Airdrop (20 winners, sharing 50,000 $SUN) Engagement Bonus (100 USDT futures trial bonus)
Dynamic product roadmap: weekly major updates
During the X Spaces session, Justin Sun outlined SunPerp’s ambitious development roadmap and promised one major product update every week.
The team will initially focus on improving liquidity depth, optimizing the China interface, and expanding device compatibility, followed by the rollout of the points system “Trade to Earn” and multi-chain integration. These efforts will create a robust ecosystem backed by infrastructure and incentives.
“A seamless trading experience is key,” Sun said. “We will soon be working with MetaMask to gradually integrate Ethereum’s EVM chain to ensure a smoother trading experience across multiple networks and devices.”
Redefining China’s crypto brand: localized, intuitive and user-centric
Industry KOLs and traders highlighted the long-standing challenges Chinese-speaking users face with English-dominated DEX platforms, citing language barriers and complexity. SunPerp directly addresses this gap by combining a fully localized interface, Chinese language domain, and user-friendly interaction design, making decentralized perpetual trading truly accessible.
Regarding the $SUN ecosystem, Justin Sun confirmed that SunPerp will serve as a strategic pillar to increase the utility of the token, with a particular focus on brand building in China. The platform aims to gradually unlock $SUN’s long-term potential through product upgrades, trading incentives, and an upcoming points-based reward system. “Like the Monkey King in Journey to the West, we are rising step by step, building a solid foundation for the Chinese-speaking community in DeFi,” Sun concluded.
X From space to space: Justin Sun’s vision and spirit as an explorer
As the session drew to a close, the discussion unexpectedly moved from DEX to extraterrestrial life. Justin Sun, a former space traveler, said, “I’m the 712th person to go into space, and I believe that aliens exist. Exploration, whether it’s in space or in the marketplace, is in my DNA.”
His remarks captured the spirit that has defined his career, from pioneering DeFi, stablecoins, and cross-chain bridges to now championing the world’s first Chinese-branded DEX. The launch of SunPerp represents his latest bet on the next growth frontier.
SunPerp’s debut is more than just the birth of a new DEX, it represents the next rise of Chinese brands in the crypto space, from brand image and product design to community building. As China’s first decentralized perpetual futures exchange, SunPerp is paving the way for the next generation of DEX.
