Introduction

PopularityX is a game you play on a popularity market of crypto names, each with a live price, all summing to $1.00. You take positions, ride the moves, and watch one trade move the whole field. The prices that fall out are a live ranking of who matters in crypto. This page covers what the board is, the two ways to profit, trading it and earning $POPX on what you hold, and the fact that the board runs continuously, with no expiry and no resolution event.

What is PopularityX?

PopularityX is a popularity market: a board of crypto names, each with a live price, and all the prices sum to $1.00. That last part is the whole game: the names are connected, so buying one moves every other. You are never watching a single number on its own. You take a position and the whole field reacts.

Think the crowd is moving toward a name, go Long. Moving away, go Short. Shorts are built in, with no funding rates. Ride the moves, and the prices you leave behind are a live ranking of who matters.

PopularityX is currently in closed beta. If you want in, see the beta docs (opens in a new tab).

Two ways to profit

Trade for money. Buy low, sell high. Go Long a name you think the crowd is moving toward, or Short one you think it is leaving, and profit when the board moves your way.

Hold for $POPX. Your account earns $POPX continuously on the value of everything it holds. Back your convictions, hold them, and being right keeps paying.

Being right grows your account, and a bigger account earns $POPX faster. Trading well and holding value are one skill, rewarded two ways.

Always on

The board runs continuously, with no expiry and no resolution event. Trade directly against the AMM at any time, fully on-chain, with no custody, no funding rates, and no liquidations.
