"Special Edition of the Mars Project" event launched: Sun Yuchen invests $6 million to help ordinary users of Huobi HTX realize their space dreams
In the increasingly diverse development of the cryptocurrency industry, Huobi HTX is once again at the forefront. On May 7, Huobi HTX officially announced the launch of the "Mars Project Special Edition" event, publicly recruiting a lucky user from around the world to receive a space travel ticket worth up to $6 million, fulfilling an ordinary person's dream of space.
It is reported that this space ticket is fully sponsored by Huobi HTX global advisor and TRON founder Justin Sun. According to the announcement, from May 7 at 16:00 to May 13 at 12:00 (UTC+8), all users who have completed the platform's KYC L3 certification can fill out a registration form to participate. The platform will score participants based on registration time, trading activity, net fee contribution, assets, and other dimensions, selecting 5 new candidates to join the previous 7 candidates, forming a lineup of 12 people, from which 1 person will be chosen to represent the platform and embark on a historic space journey with Justin Sun in July.
Spending $6 Million: Justin Sun Helps Ordinary Users Go to Space
From Gagarin to Musk, the aerospace industry is transforming from a space race driven by national power into an innovative experimental field for entrepreneurs breaking technological boundaries. As one of the most influential entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency industry, Justin Sun has been committed to promoting the widespread application of blockchain technology and the realization of social value. He has repeatedly attracted attention with groundbreaking events, such as bidding for a lunch with "stock god" Warren Buffett and winning a "sky-high banana" for $45 million. This time, he again breaks industry boundaries, spending $6 million to support ordinary people in realizing their dreams of space.
He aims to take not employees, not elites, but users—this decision reflects a commitment to the principle of "user first." As a global advisor for Huobi HTX, he believes that users are not only participants in the platform's ecosystem but also the core driving force behind technological innovation and cultural change. Through this extraordinary journey, he hopes to inspire more platform users to bravely explore and participate in change, while also shaping a decentralized, co-creative brand culture.
This space journey will commence in July 2025, and the final selected candidate will not only gain a historic opportunity to travel with Justin Sun but will also witness a new moment where humanity intersects with cryptocurrency civilization in space. As Justin Sun said, "Technology should not belong only to the elite, and space should not be out of reach. We hope to make the spirit of cryptocurrency a reality through this journey, allowing more people to touch the future."
Within Reach: The Closest Ordinary Users of Huobi HTX Have Ever Been to Space
As a leading global cryptocurrency trading platform, Huobi HTX is gradually putting into practice the idea that "blockchain changes the world." Previously, the Mars Project has successfully held 7 events and selected 7 candidates, gradually pushing the dream of "ordinary people participating in space" towards reality.
Now, with the launch of the Mars Project Special Edition, this will be the closest opportunity for Huobi HTX and all ordinary cryptocurrency users to reach space. Huobi HTX stated that it will continue to build a resonant ecosystem between the crypto economy and the real industry, technological research and development, and cultural vision, promoting blockchain to break through its positioning as a financial infrastructure and evolve into a bridge to Web3 digital civilization. Just as this space journey symbolizes: it is not the elite class, not corporate executives, but ordinary people like you and me who can, in this era, look up at the stars and fulfill our dreams of the vast sea of stars.
When you have a Huobi HTX account and complete the advanced certification, you may find that the distance to space is closer than you imagined. We welcome all users who dare to chase the light and the stars to sign up, allowing the dreams of the crypto world to shine brightly in space.
