TradeHotStuff will gate early mainnet access behind codes that require at least $0.01 deposited into the liquidity pool. A referral system offers +20% points (scaling with trading volume) and a 5% fee discount. The project is still early but notes backing from 1inch and Dolphin Ventures, with initial focus on points farming via perps.
Trade Hot Stuff is a purpose-built DeFi Layer-1 blockchain by Hotstuff Labs focused on high-performance on-chain trading with integrated global fiat rails. It uses the DracoBFT consensus for sub-second finality and powers a native order book with multi-asset margining. The network targets traders, builders, and validators with exchange-grade, programmable finance infrastructure. Its public testnet went live in December 2025.
