First of many big upgrades to improve UX - now you can login through email and enjoy gasless deposits into PopDEX through simple token transfers!
PopDEX now supports email login through our integration with @privy_io, making it easier to create an account and get to the market without the usual wallet setup friction.
We’ve also upgraded the funding experience for all PopDEX users:
- Dedicated deposit addresses for simpler funding.
- Send funds directly from your exchanges or wallets. No extra steps. No gas needed.
- Withdraw to external addresses, not only your currently connected wallet.
PopDEX is building a trader-first platform where onchain perps, RWA, and global markets are easier to access, without compromising ownership or execution.

Solid month of closed beta
Great to see early traction and, more importantly, get real feedback from our first users. We’re iterating fast based on what you’re telling us.
Here’s a look at the numbers so far 👇
Closed Beta has been live for a while now, and August was an important month for PopDEX.
What matters most to us is not only the numbers, but the people behind them: traders who tested the product, users who shared honest feedback, community members who brought in other traders, and builders who created tools and helped us improve.
So far, PopDEX has crossed $1.4B+ in trading volume, processed over 700M transactions on mainnet, produced nearly 38M blocks, and reached $56M TVL.
In August, we improved wallet connection across more wallets, expanded to 46 markets including RWA markets, and rolled out referral and VIP upgrades.
We also continued putting our values into practice. PopDEX has already completed two rounds of rewards for early traders, testers, feedback contributors, and community builders. We do believe real contribution should go noticed, and we will continue finding ways to recognize the people who trade, test, build, and help PopDEX grow.
Before Open Beta, we’re focused on making PopDEX more accessible and trader-friendly. This includes email and social login, gas-free and faster deposits & withdrawals, the mobile app many of you have been asking for, and more markets including global equities.
Closed Beta was never just about testing a product. It has been about building a trading venue together with the people who actually use it.
Thank you for being early, for being honest, and for helping us build.

Can't remember how many times in trading where I've been right directionally but ended up losing money.
Need to constantly remind myself:
Don't over-trade
Don't over-leverage
Stick to the trading plan and set proper stop-losses

7/ Next: expanding into RWA markets for both spot and perps.
We listed our first RWA markets this week, with more coming soon. These assets are becoming critical for diversified trading strategies, and the infrastructure needs to support them properly.
We’re also in the process of defining incentives to ensure long-term alignment between the protocol and its users.

8/ I’ve been lucky to work with engineers who’ve built high-performance chains and real trading systems, plus serious market-making partners ensuring liquidity from day one.
Closed beta is live. DM me for an invite code.
Found a bug or have feedback? Tag or DM me — I’ll handle it personally.
Excited to build this with the community.

When trading perps, do you prefer (for large positions):
1. MMR increasing continuously as position size grows (due to price increase or other factors) using a power formula, or
2. MMR increasing stepwise at predefined thresholds (possibly due to price increase)?
100%Continuous increase
0%Stepwise increase
