Paradex DIME Genesis Airdrop Claim Window Closes — Perp DEX News

On March 19, 2026 at 7:00 AM UTC, the Paradex Foundation's two-week claim window for the DIME genesis airdrop officially closed, concluding one of the largest token distributions in the perpetual DEX space.

Airdrop Recap

The DIME genesis airdrop distributed 25% of total token supply to early Paradex users:

Claim opened: March 5, 2026 at 7:00 AM UTC
Claim closed: March 19, 2026 at 7:00 AM UTC
Duration: Exactly two weeks
Vesting: None — tokens were immediately transferable
Allocation: 25% of total DIME supply (increased from original 20%)

Eligibility Summary

The airdrop rewarded participants across all three seasons of Paradex's XP program:

Pre-Season — the earliest users who tested the platform
Season 1 — initial competitive trading period
Season 2 — concluded January 31, 2026

XP allocation was based on trading volume, limit order placement, consistency, and market diversity.

Unclaimed Tokens

Any tokens not claimed by the deadline will be handled through one of two mechanisms:

Burned — permanently removed from supply, benefiting remaining holders
Reallocated — directed to future community programs or Season 3 rewards

The exact treatment depends on the total unclaimed amount and will be determined through community governance.

What's Next for Paradex

With DIME now distributed, Paradex enters its next phase:

Governance activation — DIME holders can participate in protocol decisions
Season 3 continuation — ongoing XP program covering spot, RWA perpetual, and options trading
Starknet ecosystem growth — Paradex remains one of the flagship applications on Starknet's ZK-rollup
