Gm Standers,
The past month has pushed StandX further toward the full SIP-5 vision, with SIP-5B Community Vaults now live and momentum building toward Universal Markets. Here is everything you may have missed:
Community Vault Manager Challenge: The Community Vault Manager Challenge is now live, putting SIP-5B into action with managers competing across different strategies for a 9,000 DUSD prize pool. The campaign runs until September 10th, with performance judged across ROI, Maker Hours and Risk Adjusted Return.
Community Vaults in action: With the challenge underway, very different strategies are already emerging across the vaults. Managers are testing different positions, risk profiles and profit sharing structures as more volatile market conditions put their approaches to the test. Some managers have chosen to make their positions public
during the campaign. Vault creation is set to become public once it concludes.
XAU and BTC Depth: On August 17th StandX liquidity moved into the top tier of perps DEXes. XAU depth reached $12.08M at 10bps, more than the approximately $10.18M combined across seven other compared venues in the snapshot. BTC depth also reached $17.24M at 10bps, ranking first among the compared leading perp DEXs at the time
Community Maker Yield update: This month we introduced more precise maker liquidity measurements, with each trading pair now assigned its own trading session and off session multiplier. For example, SPCX / USD follows US equity market hours, with qualifying activity outside the session receiving a 10% multiplier. Read the full parameters in the docs.
Position Visibility: Traders and Vault Managers now have more control over what the market can see. Position Visibility lets users selectively reveal details including market, side, quantity, entry price and PnL, while positions remain private by default. Show your edge without showing your entire hand.
Final Points Halving: The final StandX Points emissions halving took place on August 10th, marking another milestone in the evolution of the StandX Points program. Almost at the summit.
BNB Chain X Spaces: StandX Head of Growth Fiona joined BNB Chain alongside Trust Wallet, HertzFlow and Ave ai for a discussion on the growing intersection between AI and trading and what the next generation of trading infrastructure could look like on BNB Chain.
Thank you to every Stander building, trading and standing with us as we move closer to letting 1,000,000 markets bloom.
