Justin Sun's Ten Questions and Answers: In-Depth Analysis of TRON's New Engine SunPump's Breakthrough Strategy
SunPerp's debut quickly ignited community discussions and is seen as a crucial piece of the TRON DeFi ecosystem.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsRecently, Justin Sun, founder of TRON, revealed the much-anticipated "big move" he had teased on social media—the launch of SunPerp, a new decentralized perpetual contract exchange built on the TRON network. The product's debut quickly ignited community discussions and is seen as a crucial addition to TRON's DeFi ecosystem. To help everyone better understand SunPerp’s strategic positioning, unique advantages, and future roadmap, we’ve compiled the top ten core questions from the community along with official answers, offering a comprehensive breakdown of this highly anticipated new platform.
Question 1: Justin has been trending heavily on Twitter these past few days—everyone knew he was preparing something big, and now we know it's the DEX product SunPerp. As its initiator and steward, could you briefly introduce this product?
Justin: SunPerp is a decentralized perpetual contract exchange built on the TRON network, with plans to expand across multiple chains in the future. The product is currently in early public testing, and our team is focusing on building foundational infrastructure, including liquidity. I’m actively testing SunPerp myself, and so far deposits, withdrawals, and trading are running smoothly. We also plan to hold a major product launch event during Token 2049.
Question 2: The Perp DEX space is already extremely competitive. Why launch SunPerp now? How do you plan to compete and capture market share, and what unique advantages or strategies will you bring?
Justin: From a blockchain ecosystem defense standpoint, launching a Perp DEX is essential for TRON. The TRON network hosts the most widespread USDT usage scenarios, and there is massive user demand for perpetual contract trading—SunPerp is arriving at just the right time.
Although we’re entering later than others, we’re highly confident in SunPerp’s growth potential. Our team is focused on refining the product, ensuring smooth trading and deep markets, while continuously introducing innovative assets—building strong fundamentals to enable us to surpass earlier entrants.
Question 3: How will SunPerp attract initial traffic and users? Which path will it take?
Justin: SunPerp is currently in Phase 1 public testing. Key growth features such as leaderboards and a points system are not yet live. Our strategy is “get the 1 right first, then add the 0s.” For now, we’re prioritizing core product experience—ensuring seamless trading and market depth. Once the foundation is solid, we’ll gradually roll out growth mechanisms like liquidity mining and points systems.
Of course, all current user trading data will be recorded and recognized once point systems, leaderboards, and airdrops go live in the future.
Question 4: What unique advantages does SunPerp on TRON offer? Will it conflict with HTX (Huobi)'s business?
Justin: I believe the Perp DEX market is still in its early stages, so competitive pressure isn’t intense yet. The key is delivering a user experience that can rival centralized exchanges (CEX). Our immediate focus is ensuring smooth trading and deep markets—perfecting the core experience first. After establishing a solid base, we’ll gradually introduce growth features like points, airdrops, trading mining, and yield-earning products. Our current goal is to acquire 2,000 daily active trading users to complete cold start and establish a foothold, then scale to 20,000 and ultimately 200,000 users—reaching a scale capable of direct competition with CEXs.
Question 5: Aster’s points model and “YuBibao” have recently gained huge popularity. You’re known for innovation—what benefits and new gameplay can SunPerp offer users and fans? What do you think about the long-term value of such models for project development?
Justin: First, I’m very optimistic about SunPerp’s long-term value. One, SunPerp can follow trending assets around the clock and may eventually cover all existing contracts in the market, meeting diverse trading needs. Two, no matter which hot token it is, settlement will ultimately be in USDT—simple and convenient. Three, being on TRON is actually one of SunPerp’s biggest strengths. TRON has the largest number of USDT use cases and users, which are clear advantages.
Question 6: Where does SunPerp aim to rank in the industry?
Justin: My requirement for the team is to meet the standard of #1 in the industry. While final rankings depend on market performance, I’m very confident—because we have significant advantages in USDT settlement and user experience. As one trader put it, trading on other platforms often requires multiple asset conversions, making the process cumbersome. On our platform, users can trade directly with USDT within the same ecosystem—delivering a much smoother experience.
Question 7: Do you have any plans for decentralized governance on SunPerp? How can users participate and contribute to SunPerp? Are there any airdrop plans?
Justin: I believe SunPerp’s top priority right now is growth. Therefore, we’ll implement the most direct and effective growth tools—rebates, airdrops, copy-trading—and make them central to version two.
In terms of community building, our primary goal is to let more people know that on TRON, they can now trade perpetual contracts directly using USDT—no KYC, low fees, and controllable costs. That’s exactly why we’re hosting this AMA today.
We’ll also embed incentives into every aspect of user trading, ensuring early participants receive tangible benefits.
Question 8: Other platforms offer many perks. What benefits can SunPerp provide?
Justin: SunPerp will deliver triple benefits to users: First, offering the lowest contract trading fees in the entire industry. Second, launching a “deposit-to-earn-gold” campaign that directly reimburses users’ transaction gas fees. Third, rolling out mainstream user acquisition tools like rebates and points systems in the near future.
Question 9: Initial liquidity is a well-known challenge. How does SunPerp plan to tackle it? Will you launch trading mining activities early on?
Justin: SunPerp is committed to delivering an ultra-smooth trading experience and aims to make perpetual contracts a more important tool than spot trading. In terms of incentives, SunPerp will introduce a “deposit mining” model allowing instant deposits and withdrawals, as well as “trade mining”—users who open positions on SunPerp will receive SUN token incentives, significantly boosting user engagement and profitability.
Question 10: There are actually many native USDT users on the TRON chain, but they may only use it as a payment channel and not for trading. How do you plan to convert these users into SunPerp users?
Justin: The idea that TRON’s payment users should naturally become trading users is a false premise. Many users only use TRON for transfers and payments, never entering the trading space—mainly due to insufficient on-chain trading depth, limited asset variety, incomplete coverage, and subpar trading experience. But these issues aren’t insurmountable. If we can match CEX-level performance in asset coverage, capital efficiency, and trading depth, TRON’s vast base of payment users has full potential to become SunPerp traders.
