Hotstuff has wound down
> Update, October 2026: Hotstuff has wound down. Its points program ended on August 24, 2026 (points earned through August 23 were counted). It then announced it is winding down trading: perps closed September 25 and spot trading and in-app withdrawals closed September 30. Hotstuff Labs is working toward a strategic acquisition and plans to relaunch its products under the acquiring company's brand. If you still have funds there, withdrawals now go through a support ticket in Hotstuff's official Discord. Don't deposit anything. Your points history stays on record; whether it carries over to the relaunch hasn't been announced. The rest of this page is kept as a record of how the program worked.
What to do now: open a withdrawal ticket in the official Discord if you have funds left, ignore any "Hotstuff claim" link that does not come from Hotstuff itself, and watch for the acquirer's announcement. The link (Hotstuff) stays here only for the record.
What it was: an invite-only perp DEX on its own Layer 1 (DracoBFT consensus), with perps up to 50x, spot, 200+ tokenized real-world assets and vaults on one margin account. The first snapshot (February 26, 2026) covered only about 1,800 users sharing 1.4M retroactive points. Points paid weekly, capped at 1.5M a week, and it set aside a separate 2M-point builder pool. Backers included Delphi Ventures, Dialectic and Stake Capital.
What I learned, and it still applies elsewhere: I called Hotstuff early because its stable vault had a tiny TVL, and its spot equities competition (100,000 points, to June 15) had a leader with only about $33,000 of volume. Points were steered toward TradFi assets: Meta carried a 3x boost and silver 2x. My safe approach was small size with a take profit and stop loss set on every trade, so I did not have to babysit it. The lesson: tiny TVL and thin leaderboards mean you are early, and they are worth acting on fast. Early can also end fast, as it did here.
Where that volume goes now: our perp game Hyperider no longer rides Hotstuff; it now carries Lighter on Robinhood Chain (Hyperider guide ). For the same tokenized-stock thesis, see xStocks and Rialto . For an early perp DEX with live points, see Variational .
Build it: Hotstuff showed the builder-code model, where your own front end earns a share of fees. Venues like Katana Perps support it today; ship your front end with Deployr .
