Under the global spotlight of the crypto market, the TRON ecosystem has entered a brand-new era of decentralized trading. On October 1, 2025, at the global crypto industry conference TOKEN2049, TRON's first decentralized perpetual contract exchange (Perp DEX) — SunPerp — officially launched, accompanied by the release of its new Chinese brand "孙悟空" (Sun Wukong). This move not only marks the first DEX in DeFi history to adopt a Chinese brand name but also signifies a significant milestone for the TRON ecosystem as it advances into decentralized finance (DeFi).
TRON's Transformation Path: From "Payment Chain" to "Trading Chain"
At the launch event, TRON founder Justin Sun stated that the TRON ecosystem has already secured a leading position in the global USDT market, boasting a strong capital and user base, which laid a solid foundation for SunPerp's launch. The introduction of SunPerp signifies that TRON will transform from its original role as a "payment chain" into a trading-centric "trading chain," accelerating the development of decentralized finance (DeFi). Justin Sun further emphasized, "Decentralization is the future of finance. Capital is flowing from centralized to decentralized platforms. Our goal is to build the most advanced decentralized perpetual contract exchange, providing global users with genuine tools for financial democratization."
SunPerp's Innovative Architecture and Features
SunPerp adopts an innovative hybrid architecture of "on-chain fund settlement + off-chain high-speed order matching," ensuring platform security and trading fluidity. The platform custodies all user funds through smart contracts, eliminating platform risk, and can provide millisecond-level trading response speeds, offering a similarly smooth trading experience compared to top-tier centralized exchanges (CEXs). Furthermore, the platform promises the lowest transaction fees across the network and has introduced a "Zero Gas Strategy," fully reimbursing Gas fees incurred by users during initial authorization, deposits, and withdrawals, further reducing user trading costs.
Regarding privacy protection, SunPerp employs a unique "Dark Pool" privacy mode to prevent liquidity attacks and targeted liquidations. The platform also offers an optional public disclosure function to meet users' needs for sharing trading strategies and compliance.
User Experience and Multi-Chain Expansion
To further enhance the user experience, SunPerp not only supports low-latency API trading but is also developing a mobile application, planning to integrate mainstream wallet applications like TokenPocket and OKX into the platform to provide users with more comprehensive trading functionalities. Simultaneously, SunPerp will soon launch support for multiple mainstream public chains, including Ethereum, BSC, and Solana, with plans to support more chains like Polygon, Aptos, and Sui in the future, bringing users richer trading opportunities.
Security, Value, and Ecosystem Synergy
SunPerp also places particular emphasis on platform security, having initiated a dedicated insurance fund to ensure user assets are protected during extreme market volatility or technical incidents. The launch of the platform token SUN is closely integrated with the platform's economic model; 100% of the platform's revenue will be used to repurchase and burn SUN, driving the token's long-term value growth. Additionally, the SUN token will be used for platform governance, transaction fee discounts, and incentive distribution, forming a robust value closed-loop.
Sun Wukong: The Debut of the World's First Chinese Brand
The highlight of the launch event was undoubtedly the birth of the Chinese brand "Sun Wukong." Through this move, the TRON ecosystem not only demonstrated the inclusivity and innovation of decentralized finance to the world but also provided Chinese-speaking users with a brand symbol that resonates more deeply emotionally and culturally. Justin Sun stated that Sun Wukong, as the brand for the DEX, symbolizes the platform's spirit of daring to break traditional boundaries and pursue innovation, while also representing the determination of decentralized finance to move towards globalization.
Conclusion: Opening a New Chapter for Decentralized Finance
With the launch of SunPerp, the TRON ecosystem further completes its blueprint for decentralized finance. Through its transformation from a payment chain to a trading chain, TRON not only provides a safer and more transparent trading environment for global users but also drives the rapid development of DeFi through innovative products and services. In the future, with support for more public chains and functional expansions, SunPerp will continue to provide global users with more comprehensive, free, and democratized financial tools, contributing to the future development of decentralized finance.
