HTX has unveiled a bold new chapter in its Mars Program, launching a $6 million space voyage giveaway funded entirely by TRON founder and HTX advisor Justin Sun. Branded the “Special Edition,” this initiative will send one verified user on a commercial spaceflight with Sun this July.
From May 9 to May 13, the campaign is open to HTX users who complete Level 3 KYC verification. Five new finalists will be chosen based on key metrics such as registration date, trading volume, net fee contributions, and asset holdings as part of the selection process. These candidates will join seven previously shortlisted participants, forming a pool of 12 contenders. One from this group will be selected to embark on the space mission.
Highlighting the program’s inclusive nature, Sun emphasized that the journey is not reserved for the elite. “This journey isn’t for elites—it’s for users,” he stated, underlining the campaign’s mission to democratize space travel and bring the crypto community into the era of interstellar exploration.
This initiative marks the eighth round of HTX’s Mars Program, a campaign that has steadily evolved from selecting candidates for potential space flights to opening up global participation. The Special Edition reflects HTX’s broader commitment to Web3 values, merging innovation with inclusivity.
Moreover, the Mars Program illustrates the expanding role of blockchain technology not just as a financial tool and a gateway to real-world, transformative experiences. According to HTX, this campaign underscores crypto’s capacity to transcend digital boundaries and venture into new frontiers.
In parallel with its space campaign, HTX Research has introduced Sonic, a next-generation blockchain infrastructure to solve the persistent scalability issues in decentralized finance (DeFi). The announcement was accompanied by a comprehensive report titled “Sonic: A Model for the New DeFi Paradigm.” Built on the Fantom Opera blockchain, Sonic features a redesigned architecture that supports over 2,000 transactions per second, offers finality in just 0.7 seconds, and keeps transaction costs near zero.
