On May 19, Huobi HTX officially announced the list of five new space travel candidates for the "Mars Project Special Edition". According to the official announcement, the platform comprehensively scored the five new candidates based on user registration time, trading activity, asset strength, invitation contribution and other dimensions, and selected them. Their UIDs are: 269****10, 394****24, 448***68, 470****46, 545****46. They will form a 12-person ultimate candidate team with the seven candidates from the first seven "Mars Projects" (UIDs: 305****92, 416****94, 427****63, 436****64, 449****70, 464****24, 471****74) to compete for the space travel quota.
The "Mars Project Special Edition" is fully funded by Justin Sun, the global advisor of Huobi HTX and the founder of TRON, and provides a total of up to $6 million in space travel. The final winner will go on a historic space journey with Justin Sun in July 2025. This is the first time that the crypto industry has provided ordinary users with the opportunity to explore the universe, breaking the upper limit of user rights and interests, and also demonstrating Huobi HTX's innovative ability to transform technological ideals into real experiences and its core concept of "user first". After the launch of the event, it attracted a large number of users from all over the world to participate in the registration.
With the release of the 12 final candidates, the event has entered the final sprint stage. Next, the candidates will participate in the special training arranged by the platform, and after further evaluation, one space representative will be selected. The final list and subsequent progress of the event will be announced through the official channels of Huobi HTX in the near future.
Huobi HTX said that it will give back to users through continuous innovation and inject more vitality into the platform ecology. This event is not only an important continuation of the Mars Project, but also an important step in promoting the platform's brand influence and user stickiness.
