Last night, a major news broke in the community—YZi Labs invested "tens of millions of dollars" in DEX Genius, and CZ will personally join as an advisor.
Odaily Planet Daily brings you the first look at Genius, a step-by-step guide to interacting with Genius, and the current interaction strategy based on personal testing.
Project Introduction
Genius is a privacy-centric decentralized trading platform that offers spot trading, perpetual contracts, and copy trading, supporting over 10 public chains including BNB Chain and Solana. Its goal is to become an on-chain alternative to Binance—bringing the speed, liquidity, and privacy experience of CEX to the chain while maintaining complete self-custody and non-custodial (users hold private keys). The platform has processed over $60 million in trading volume during its testing phase and plans to launch a public privacy protocol test in Q2 2026. As early as October 2024, Genius announced the completion of a $6 million seed round financing, led by CMCC Global, with participation from Cadenza Ventures, AVA Labs, Arca, Flow Traders, and others.
In response to the community's belief that "YZi Labs' investment in Genius is bad for Aster," CZ posted on the X platform stating, "Genius is a trading terminal connected to a trading platform, not a competitor to Aster."
Additionally, Genius's CMO Ryan also addressed similar questions in the community—"What do you think about the differences between Aster and Genius? Why would YZi Labs invest in another Perp Dex project?" Ryan stated, "I think both are important; Aster is a very important perpetual contract exchange. I believe YZi Labs' motivation for investing in Genius is to enable everyone to access any token on any chain (which will soon be achieved privately)."

It is clear that both CZ and the Genius team believe that Genius and Aster are positioned differently and are not in direct competition.
Step-by-Step Guide
STEP 1. Visit the official website (link: https://www.tradegenius.com/ref/NY8SYH), and enter through this invitation link to receive 500 GP points. Click "Start Trading," then click "Sign In" at the top to log in using your wallet.
STEP 2. Click on "Airdrop" at the top to display the current GP points balance and your personal invitation link.
STEP 3. Under the "Airdrop" section, the first item is "Points." Accumulate a trading volume of $10,000 to earn 1200 GP points. After exceeding $10,000, you can earn 200 GP points for every additional $1,000 in trading volume. Additionally, trading once daily on the platform allows you to participate in a spin wheel for free, and for every additional $10,000 in trading volume, you earn an extra chance to spin the wheel, with no limit.
Other trading and points earning rules are as follows:
- Users earn 1 GP point for every $100 in spot trading volume / $1,000 in perpetual contract trading volume;
- After trading continuously for 7 days, you will earn a trading streak multiplier (interruption of trading for one day will reset this);
- The base multiplier and streak multiplier apply to users' spot and perpetual contract trading (referral points are not included).
STEP 4. Under the "Airdrop" section, the next item is "Referrals," where you can invite friends to earn more GP points.
STEP 5. Under the "Airdrop" section, the last item is "Social" (the "Token Rewards" section is not yet open, so skip it for now), which contains the official social media information.
STEP 6. Click on "Deposit" at the top, which supports deposits of EVM, Solana, and SUI assets. The official recommendation is to send ETH or USDC.
Current "Low Guarantee Points Earning" Strategy Share
After practical interaction, I summarized the "Low Guarantee Points Earning" strategy, with the following specific operational ideas:
- To minimize the wear caused by trading token price fluctuations, I chose spot trading between USDC and USDT.
- Try to make the trading volume as large as possible; the gas fees paid for a $400 trade and a $100 trade are almost the same.
- Once the trading volume reaches $10,000 to unlock the spin wheel, you only need to trade once daily to qualify for the spin wheel, without needing to "flood the trading volume."
