What Are Pre-Launch Futures?

A Pre-Launch Futures market offers users the opportunity to trade futures on tokens that have not launched yet. Traditionally, gaining access to assets before their official launch has been a privilege reserved for early contributors, VCs or wealthy insiders. Helix is aiming to disrupt this closed system by allowing the decentralized trading of popular upcoming tokens prior to their official launch or listing on a public cryptocurrency exchange.

The current Pre-Launch Futures markets on Helix featured the highly awaited LayerZero (ZRO) token and Jupiter (JUP) token, ushering dedicated markets for the imminent ZRO and JUP tokens launch.

Pre-Launch Futures Trading Competition

To celebrate the launch, Helix is sponsoring $30,000 in INJ tokens as the prize pool for users trading in current Pre-Launch Futures markets on Helix and upcoming Pre-Launch Futures markets within the competition period, if any.

The campaign is a volume trading competition in which the Top 100 volume traders will each receive $300 worth of INJ tokens as the reward. The competition starts on January 29, 2024 at 2PM UTC, and ends on February 19, 2024 at 2PM UTC.

The trading competition will offer users the opportunity to trade on Helix in order to not only win prizes exclusive to this competition, but also to enjoy market leading rebates, zero gas fees, lightning fast speeds and best-in-class security.

Competition Details

The trading competition starts on January 29, 2024 at 2PM UTC, and ends on February 19, 2024 at 2PM UTC with a prize pool of $30,000 worth of INJ tokens.
No sign-up is required. Currently, only the transactions placed on the ZRO/USDT PERP and JUP/USDT PERP markets on the Helix frontend will be counted.
In the coming days, if Helix is going to launch new Pre-Launch Futures markets, trading activities in these markets will also be taken into account for the competition before the competition ends.
Rewards will be distributed to traders with the Top 100 highest effective real volume they contribute during the trading competition period. Each winner will receive $300 worth of INJ as the reward.
Trading volume counts both buys (long) and sells (short) during the competition period.
Winners will be announced by February 26, 2024.
Helix will use the closing price of the INJ/USDT spot trading pair at February 19, 2024 at 2PM UTC for the distribution of rewards. The actual value of rewards received is subject to change due to market fluctuation.
Total rewards: $30,000 in INJ
