$218 Million Total Value Locked and Growing: $DIME TGE Explained

Paradex announced the conclusion of XP Season 2, a key step toward its upcoming $DIME Token Generation Event (TGE). The platform confirmed that 25% of $DIME’s fully diluted supply will be airdropped to all XP holders at launch, with tokens fully unlocked immediately.

In a move highlighting its commitment to active community participants, Paradex also increased the allocation for Season 2 XP holders from 15% to 20% of the total supply. This reinforces the platform’s focus on rewarding engagement across its ecosystem. The $DIME TGE is expected in late February or early March, with the official date to be announced by the Paradex Foundation.
