The Standard Auction: (750,000 XPRT)
Users on AscendEX who hold either 10,000 BTMX during a trailing 5-day average or have traded 30,000 USDT or more within the last 20 days are eligible for the Auction.
BTMX holdings in users’ Cash Account will be calculated every day from March 25, 12:00 a.m. UTC, 2021 to March 30, 12:00 a.m. UTC. Users’ average holdings over this period need to meet or exceed 10,000 BTMX to be eligible based on their BTMX holdings.
- Therefore, there will be daily snapshots of users’ BTMX balances (one per day from March 25 to March 30). If your average holdings of BTMX over this 5-day period (calculated by adding the amount on each day and dividing by the number of days) is 10,000 BTMX or higher, you are eligible based on your BTMX holdings.
Users’ trailing 20-day trade volume (including cash trading, margin trading and futures trading) will be calculated in USDT from March 10, 12:00 a.m. UTC, 2021 to March 30 12:00 a.m. UTC, 2021.
- If your total trade volume meets or exceeds 30,000 USDT during this period (your cumulative trade volume over those 20 days is 30,000 USDT or more), you are eligible based on your trade volume.
There are 750 tranches of 1,000 XPRT each available for this auction, totalling 750,000 XPRT. The auction will only run for 1 hour from March 31st, 2021 at 13:00 UTC to 14:00 UTC. Participants are required to complete KYC 2 verification on AscendEX to participate in the Auctions.
The Auction starts off at 400 USDT and the maximum a user can bid is 400 USDT + 35 BTMX or 350 BTMXP ($0.40 — $0.45).
Users have the opportunity to place up to 6 bids within the auction period if they meet certain requirements. That means a maximum a user can win from the auction is 6,000 XPRT. See the chart below for reference:
If there are more than 750 participants who bid the maximum (400 USDT +35 BTMX / 350 BTMXP) a random draw will determine the winners of the auction.
Winners of the Standard Auction will need to submit the AscendEX account & Auction confirmation code on Persistence’s website by April 1, 11:00 AM UTC. Failure to timely submit the confirmation code & AscendEX account will be deemed as the users’ voluntarily forfeiting their winning slot.

The auction will only run for 1 hour from March 31st, 2021 at 13:00 UTC to 14:00 UTC. Participants are required to complete KYC 2 verification on AscendEX to participate in the Auctions.
