$DIME TGE is LIVE.
A new derivatives venue has officially entered the on-chain trading arena.
Paradex has been building quietly over the past year, focusing on one goal: bringing professional-grade derivatives markets fully on-chain.
Perpetual futures.
Options.
Spot markets.
All running inside a single environment designed for active traders.
At the center of that system sits $DIME.
It powers the Paradex ecosystem as the native gas and governance token, supporting the infrastructure behind the exchange and its broader financial stack. 
The token model also leans heavily toward community participation.
Out of a 1B total supply:
• Core Contributors: 25.1%
• Community Airdrop: 25.0%
• Ongoing Community Rewards: 21.6%
• Paradigm Shareholders: 13.4%
• Foundation Budget: 6.0%
• Liquidity Program: 5.0%
• Future Contributors and Advisory: 3.1%
That structure reflects the bigger goal behind Paradex:
Building a derivatives ecosystem that grows with the traders using it.
Onchain derivatives have already proven that demand exists.
Now new designs are entering the market.
With $DIME now live, Paradex becomes one of them.
The next phase of on-chain trading just got more competitive.
