On October 9, SunPerp (derived from the Chinese name for "Sun Wukong"), the world's first Chinese-branded decentralized perpetual futures trading platform, was officially unveiled during an X Spaces session featuring Justin Sun and several prominent industry leaders. The record-breaking session, which drew over 42,000 live listeners, quickly became a major talking point across the crypto community. With its official debut, SunPerp marks the beginning of a new era for Chinese-speaking crypto traders and signals a bold step in reshaping regional on-chain trading dynamics.
SunPerp's launch comes at a pivotal moment. The recent National Day holiday saw unprecedented momentum across Chinese-language crypto communities, evidenced by viral memes, community-driven discussions and product innovations.
"The Chinese-speaking market is strong enough to sustain its own ecosystem," said Justin Sun, founder of TRON and a leading voice in decentralized finance. "Launching SunPerp now is a strategic decision backed by consideration and timing."
Built as the first perpetual futures DEX tailored for Chinese-speaking users, SunPerp features a native Chinese brand, interface, and domain. This focus is designed to deliver a smoother and more intuitive trading experience. The new official domain - sunwukong.io- is now live, emphasizing the platform's commitment to accessibility and localized brand identity.
To celebrate the launch, SunPerp is hosting a limited-time community giveaway on social media, running through October 15, 12:00 (UTC). Users who follow @sunwukong_DEX on X (formerly Twitter), repost, tag three friends, and comment will be eligible for multiple rewards, including:
Grand Prize (10 winners; each gets 100 USDT)
Community Airdrop (20 winners; sharing 50,000 $SUN)
Engagement Bonus (100 USDT Futures Trial Bonus)
During the X Spaces session, Justin Sun outlined SunPerp's ambitious development roadmap, promising one major product update every week.
The team will first focus on improving liquidity depth, optimizing the Chinese interface, and expanding device compatibility, followed by the rollout of "Trade to Earn", a points system, and multi-chain integration. These efforts will build a robust ecosystem backed by infrastructure and incentives.
"A seamless trading experience is the key," Sun said. "We'll soon cooperate with MetaMask and progressively integrate Ethereum's EVM chains to ensure a smoother trading experience across multiple networks and devices."
Industry KOLs and traders emphasized the issues that Chinese-speaking users have always had to deal with when using DEX platforms that are English-dominant, and they mentioned language barriers and complexity. SunPerp instantly fills this gap by offering a completely localized interface, a Chinese domain, and user-friendly interaction design, thus making decentralized perpetual trading truly accessible.
In terms of the $SUN ecosystem, Justin Sun mentioned that SunPerp would be a strategic pillar in increasing the token utility and the focus would be on the Chinese market. The product upgrades, the trading incentives, and the imminent points-based rewards system are some of the ways through which the platform aims to gradually unlock $SUN's long-term potential. "Like the Monkey King in Journey to the West, we are ascending step by step, building solid foundations for the Chinese-speaking community in DeFi," said Sun.
As the session drew to a close, the discussion drifted from DEX to, unexpectedly, extraterrestrial life. Justin Sun, who once journeyed to space himself, shared: "I'm the 712th human to go into space, and I believe aliens exist. Whether it's space or markets, exploration is in my DNA."
His remark 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 frontier of growth.
The debut of SunPerp is more than just the birth of a new DEX but symbolizes the next rise of Chinese-language brands in the cryptocurrency space, from brand image and product design to community building. As the first Chinese decentralized perpetual futures exchange, SunPerp will pave the way for the next generation of DEX.
SunPerp is the TRON ecosystem's pioneer native decentralized perpetual futures exchange. It aspires to create a new generation of on-chain derivatives infrastructure by merging the seamless experience and security of centralized exchanges with the asset sovereignty of decentralized finance. The platform is backed by a strong foundation that includes features such as the lowest fees, 0 gas trading, secure on-chain custody, high-performance matching, full-chain liquidity integration, and intelligent risk management. Thus, the platform will be able to offer users around the world an access to fair, efficient, and free DeFi derivatives trading services.
SunPerp is not just a dawning point for TRON's financial system evolution but also a powerful motivation for such a deep change in the whole industry's perception; it is a real crypto market facilitator towards total inclusiveness and transparency.
