Paradex signals an upcoming $DIME token generation event

(PRESS RELEASE – Toronto, Canada, March 3, 2026)

Paradex has announced that a token generation event for its native token $DIME will be held soon. The opening represents the next stage of the exchange’s development.

Institutional background and market development

Paradex was developed by the team behind Paradigm, an institutional crypto derivatives liquidity network that has processed over $1 trillion in trading volume. This background is reflected in Paradex’s focus on execution quality, capital efficiency and market structure.

Since launching its regular exchange, Paradex has recorded:

• More than 250 billion dollars in total trade
• About 550 million dollars in open interest
• More than 75,000 users
• The highest daily trading volume is more than 3 billion dollars

The exchange operates with a central limit order book (CLOB) for compliance and settles transactions through a high-speed Layer 2 application powered by zk-STARK tokens on Ethereum.

Focus on market structure and privacy

A key differentiator for Paradex is its approach to information disclosure. In transparent blockchains, position sizes and liquidation rates are often publicly observable. Paradex encrypts sensitive data before settlement while using zero proof to maintain validity. Access to detailed account information is restricted to authenticated users.

In addition, the exchange includes:

• Zero trading fees for retail participants
• Streamline segmentation to improve retail pricing
• Self-disarming risk model
• Chain warehouse infrastructure for revenue strategies

These features are designed to reduce execution pressure and mitigate structural risks that have historically limited institutional participation in decentralized derivatives markets.

$DIME and network synchronization

According to Messari’s research coverage, $DIME will launch on the Paradex spot market and will serve as the Paradex Chain’s native gas token.

Messari notes that the token was created to reduce the traditional conflict of interest between equity and token holders by directing economic value to the $DIME token itself. Instead of implementing automatic buyback formulas, Paradex intends to conduct buybacks on a discretionary basis with decisions based on market conditions and ecosystem considerations.

Token Allocation Overview

Messari describes the following distribution structure for $DIME:

• 25.1 percent of the main contributors
• 25.0% Community Airdrop
• 20.0 percent to Season 2 XP holders
• 5.0 percent to Preseason and Season 1 XP holders
• Fully unlocked at startup
• 21.6% permanent awards of the society
• 13.4% of Paradigm Shareholders
• 10.4% of equity investors prefer to open a 12-month line one month after listing.
• 1.0% of the holders of common stock
• 2.0 percent is reserved for Paradigm balance
• 6.0 percent of the fund budget
• 5.0% Liquidity Programs
• 3.9 percent Future Key Contributors and Advisors

80% of the tokens allocated to the main shareholders and Paradigm shareholders are subject to the terms of the opening performance. The remaining 20 percent follow a timed schedule, 25 percent are released one year after listing, and the remainder is paid monthly over the following 36 months.

This structure is designed to align long-term interests between contributors and the wider community.

Looking ahead

Paradex has stated that it plans to expand beyond perpetual futures into spot markets, options, real-world asset products and more. $DIME TGE represents a transition to a network model where the token supports economic coordination and value calculation on the platform.

With measurable trading activity, defined tokenometrics and a focus on privacy-preserving infrastructure, the upcoming launch of $DIME provides a clearer picture of how Paradex intends to scale its on-chain derivatives model in the long term.

More details on the timing and specifics of the list are expected to be released in the coming days. Users can check Paradex social media for more information.
