HTX, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, today announced the launch of its “Mars Program: Special Edition,” a groundbreaking initiative that will send one lucky user on a fully sponsored, $6 million space voyage. The mission, funded by Justin Sun, Advisor to HTX and Founder of TRON, aims to democratize access to space exploration for the global crypto community.
The campaign, running from May 7 at 08:00 UTC to May 13 at 04:00 UTC, invites all HTX users who have completed Level 3 KYC verification to apply. Five new finalists will be chosen based on their registration date, trading activity, net fee contribution, and asset balance. These five will join seven previously selected candidates, forming a pool of 12 finalists. From this group, one winner will be selected to embark on a space journey with Justin Sun in July 2025.
Justin Sun, a prominent figure in the crypto industry, is personally underwriting the $6 million ticket for this unprecedented mission. Known for his impactful initiatives in both Web3 and traditional finance, Sun emphasizes his goal of making space more inclusive.
“This mission isn’t about elites or executives—it’s about empowering users,” stated Justin Sun. “Space exploration should be accessible. With this journey, we want to bring the crypto spirit beyond Earth’s limits.”
The Mars Program, which has successfully completed seven previous rounds, has already identified seven individuals for potential space missions. This “Special Edition” marks a significant expansion, inviting a wider global user base to participate. HTX’s vision is to leverage Web3 as an open and inclusive ecosystem where technological, financial, and cultural advancements converge.
HTX views the Mars Program as more than just a campaign; it represents the potential of Web3 to redefine real-world possibilities. The exchange continues to explore how blockchain technology can extend beyond financial infrastructure, inspiring personal aspirations, collective imagination, and global narratives. Through this initiative, HTX reinforces its position at the forefront of innovation, not only in trading and technology but also in fostering the next generation of crypto pioneers.
To participate, users must complete Level 3 KYC on HTX and submit an application before the campaign concludes. The winner, chosen from the 12 finalists, will be announced prior to the July 2025 launch.
