Huobi HTX announces the top 12 list of "Mars Project Special Edition", and one user will go to space with Justin Sun

On May 19, the cryptocurrency trading platform Huobi HTX officially announced the latest progress of the "Mars Project Special Edition" event. Five new candidates were successfully selected, and together with the seven candidates selected in the previous seven events, they formed the final 12-person final candidate team. They will enter a professional training phase lasting several weeks to compete for the final precious seat to travel to space with HTX global consultant Justin Sun.

According to official news from Huobi HTX, this special edition event was launched in early May, recruiting candidates interested in participating in the space journey from users around the world. The platform comprehensively evaluated multiple indicators such as registration time, trading activity, asset size, invitation contribution, etc., and finally selected 5 new candidates, whose UIDs are: 269****10, 394****24, 448***68, 470****46, 545****46.

Together with the 7 candidates born in the previous seven "Mars Project" activities (UID: 305****92, 416****94, 427****63, 436****64, 449****70, 464****24, 471****74), a complete team of 12 candidates has been formed. It is reported that these candidates will undergo multiple physical fitness assessments and psychological training, and finally Huobi HTX and its partner institutions will jointly select a representative user to take off with Sun Yuchen on a commercial spacecraft in July 2025.

Since the "Mars Project" was first proposed in 2022, it has become one of the most representative special activities in the Huobi HTX brand, aiming to achieve the integration of technology and encryption spirit through space exploration. The past few events have attracted millions of users around the world to participate, and the cumulative coverage of users is in major markets such as North America, East Asia, and Southeast Asia.

Sun Yuchen once publicly stated that his space dream was out of "love for the future of technology and questioning the boundaries of human civilization." As one of the initiators of the "Mars Project", he has also shared his space training experience on social platforms many times and encouraged more ordinary people to participate.

It is worth mentioning that the space ticket given by the "Mars Project Special Edition" is worth up to 6 million US dollars, which is one of the marketing activities with the highest user participation and the most symbolic rewards in the crypto industry so far. Huobi HTX said that it will continue to explore more integration points between encryption technology and future technology in the future and create a Web3 ecosystem with "user participation" as the core.

The final selected user will be announced in June and embark on a space journey in July, which symbolizes the integration of human and blockchain spirit.
