In the derivatives DEX field, the projects upcoming for TGE mainly include edgeX, Lighter, REYA, and Grvt, which is expected to launch in Q1 2026.
However, it is important to note that other PerpDEX projects may be overhyped under the expectation of airdrops, and caution should be exercised. Many projects have opaque airdrop mechanisms, and blindly chasing risks in such cases can be risky.
Of course, setting aside the concept of airdrops, if you simply choose a platform from the perspective of counterparty trading, there is no problem. The key is to distinguish: are you genuinely optimistic about the product and liquidity of this DEX, or are you just betting on the airdrop expectation.

It should be pointed out that these words hit the pain points of most retail investors—on-chain data shows that nearly 90% of accounts participating in PerpDEX cannot distinguish whether they are trading or gambling for airdrops. Based on the following arguments, my view is: those who only look at airdrop expectations without reading the white paper are essentially replacing risk management with a probability game.
Obviously, the true liquidity and order book depth of projects like edgeX and Lighter are the real standards, rather than those with questionable transparency in their airdrop mechanism design. Undoubtedly, the Q1 2026 Grvt is even more of a suspense—who can guarantee that people will still remember it by then?
Let me say this: the essence of technology is always drowned out by liquidity games, which is not only a market tragedy but also a collapse of value consensus.

Airdrop hype is already tired; what really matters is genuine liquidity and trading depth, or else you'll be the bagholder.

The more hyped an airdrop project is, the further you should stay away. I've been through it myself.

The celebration under the airdrop anticipation packaging, to put it simply, is history repeating itself. The seemingly transparent mechanism is actually paving the way for later participants to take over.
Those who truly understand trading will not be fooled by the TGE schedule. Ask yourself, will you still remember these projects six months from now?
