Be the first to experience the future of perps
Synthetix is launching the first perp exchange on Ethereum Mainnet, and pre-deposits are now live. This is your chance to earn a spot on the Synthetix Mainnet alpha whitelist and be among the first to trade and earn Synthetix Points. Each week, 60 depositors will gain early access to the Synthetix Mainnet alpha. Find out how you can be among the first.
Deposit Early, Get Rewarded
Pre-deposits allow you to commit sUSD or sUSDe ahead of the Synthetix Mainnet launch.
- sUSD is used to fund the SLP vault, a protocol-operated liquidity pool that provides liquidity across all listed perp markets. Early sUSD depositors may choose to migrate to the SLP vault at launch.
- sUSDe is used as trading margin on Synthetix Mainnet perps. sUSDe depositors can choose to migrate their sUSDe deposits to trading margin as soon as they’re granted alpha access.
Your total deposit determines your position on the leaderboard. Each week, the top depositors receive guaranteed whitelist access, and 10 additional spots are awarded through a lottery for depositors who’ve committed at least $1,000. All pre-depositors will begin earning Synthetix Points, which will appear once the alpha launches. The more you deposit, the more points you’ll receive.
Earn Whitelist Access
Whitelist access is granted weekly to a new cohort of users:
- Top 30 sUSD depositors on the leaderboard each week receive access
- Top 20 sUSDe depositors on the leaderboard each week will receive access.
- 10 additional addresses are randomly selected from wallets that deposited at least $1,000 during that week
If you earn access, either through the leaderboard or the lottery, you retain it as long as your deposit remains in place. Any withdrawal removes your eligibility and forfeits your access. The leaderboard updates in real time and reflects the current weekly rankings.

Win the Alpha Lottery
Each Wednesday at 00:00 UTC, 10 wallets with a $1,000 minimum deposit are selected for alpha access. All eligible wallets are automatically entered each week. Each weekly lottery provides access to 10 fresh wallets, and your access is retained as long as your deposit remains.
Join us in the Synthetix Discord each Wednesday as we livestream the winners.
Even more benefits
Pre-depositing isn’t just about getting in early. It’s the only way to secure a place on the whitelist and access to all the benefits of trading during alpha:
- Exclusive Alpha Access: Get access to Synthetix Mainnet perp trading before anyone else. Whitelisted users will be the first to test, trade, and explore features ahead of full launch.
- Earn Points: You can be the first to earn points from early deposits, and by trading or staking on Synthetix Mainnet.
- Convert Points to SNX: Points earned during alpha are redeemable for SNX tokens. The more points you earn, the larger your SNX reward at the end of the season.
- Secure Top VIP Tier for 3 Months: All alpha traders start in the highest VIP tier, unlocking lower fees and premium perks. Early access gives you a cost advantage and a long-term edge.
