Infinex Perps just got an upgrade. @Lighter_xyz is now live.
Their Commodities Challenge is running right now. 100K LIT prize pool. Gold. Oil. Palladium.
Trade it all on Infinex. No new account needed.
Some honest thoughts on $INX launch:
You need to understand that @infinex $INX token launched with all the built up FUD of the last 6-8 months priced in already
Current INX FDV is ~170M
Whereas DefiApp's FDV is ~300M which is a direct competitor of Infinex
If you think Kain and co cannot easily take the price of INX to over 0.03 and beyond, then you have probably not been around for long enough
Since Yaprun, infinex has done multiple psyops on the timeline to push the paper hands away and keep the few loyal supporters and users close
And I feel this low FDV launch was another one of infinex psyop:
> the sentiment was mostly negative on the timeline
> yaprun participants were waiting to j€€t their allocation which they did already at lower FDV
> now most of the INX supply is concentrated amongst few loyal supporters+ team
Now the tourists are going away, future infinex roadmap is out there in the open with team is laser focused on delivering superior UX in every crypto niche accessible directly from the infinex app (+ a mobile app on the way)
the upside feels more probable than ever if the team continues shipping at current pace
my predictions for INX:
> a little more sell pressure probably till 120-150M FDV
> rally till 300M and stay above that for sometime
> as more features like prediction markets, NFTs marketplaces, fiat on/off ramps are deployed, we will see gradual leg up in price till 500M FDV
I am comfortably hodling my yaprun allocation + craterun vouchers + sonar sale allocation
INX is easy 3x play here from current prices, pay attention but always dyor

What’s changing
→ Weekly prize draws are ending
→ No more 1M FDV vouchers in crates
The last weekly prize draw will be drawn on January 29, 2026.
All vouchers already earned - including 1M FDV vouchers - remain valid and redeemable under existing rules.
We got the sale wrong.
We tried to balance existing Patron holders, new participants, and fair distribution all at once and the result was a sale that (almost) nobody wanted to participate in.
Retail hates the lock.
Whales hate the cap.
Everyone hates the complexity.
To our community: you've been telling us. And you were right. And we apologize for how we handled this.
So, here's what's changing:
1/ Caps removed. No more $2,500 maximum. If you want to put in more, you can. We're done trying to guess the right number. The market will decide.
2/ Bottom-up fill. We're switching from random allocation to a "max-min fair allocation", also known as water filling. Everyone's allocation rises equally until it's full or supply runs out. Any excess contribution is refunded.
3/ Patron preference stays. Patrons still get priority on allocations, but we're waiting until the end of the sale to finalize exactly how - once we have real data on total demand instead of guessing.
We're keeping the lock. We still believe lockups create the long-term alignment for those who believe in the product.
Which brings us to the product – we haven’t spent enough time showing and telling you why you should use Infinex. Which changes now.
So here's what we've actually built - a new kind of crypto app that feels like a CEX but is self-custodial:
→ A best-in-class swap and bridge aggregator - live on 24 chains, including OG networks like ZEC, XRP and DOGE that are hard to access elsewhere
→ A perps trading experience built from the ground up by @0xEquinox_ and team, starting as a frontend for @HyperliquidX (#2 builder code), with @Lighter_xyz and @synthetix_io coming soon
→ A browser extension (led by the Herculean efforts of @ben_kurrek) that lets you take your Infinex account to any onchain app - currently 5★ on Chrome Web Store
→ Passkey-secured accounts powered by @turnkeyhq - no seed phrases, no custody responsibility pushed onto users
→ Unified portfolio and wallet management, giving you access to all your crypto wallets across devices
→ An unmatched customer service team headed by @Khaleesi_98
We created Infinex because crypto should be easier to use, and we made a big dent in our goal last year.
We have a massive feature roadmap planned for 2026, including a native mobile app, private sends, hardware wallet support, and much more.
We've built an amazing team and a compelling product, and we’re here to build for the long term.
We've spent a lot of time trying to get your attention – for better and worse.
Now we're asking you to try the product and make up your own mind.
All tokens purchased in the Infinex Sale are locked for 1 year.
But you have the option to unlock early.
For example, if FDV is above unlock price, you can pay the difference to unlock.
Unlock cost declines from $300M → $99.99M FDV over the year.
The Infinex Sale is open for registration.
5% of INX supply at $99.99M FDV. 1-year lock, with early unlock option.
Orders between $200 min, $2,500 max.
Allocation by chance, with boosts available.
Sale runs 3-6 Jan.
[thread]
Infinex Sale allocations will be determined by chance.
Give yourself 3x better chance of allocation by sharing your registration.
Patrons who share get 10x better chance.
For now, these HIP-3 markets have lower Hyperliquid fees.
◀️ Standard HL: 0.045% + 0.05% builder = 0.095%
▶️ HIP-3: 0.009% + 0.05% builder = 0.059%
Same builder fee. Lower total cost. More crates per dollar 👀
