A guide for everyone — traders, creators, researchers and curious minds
📌 This hub is for everyone. Regardless of your background, here you'll find the path to join and contribute to the StandX ecosystem.
The Growth Path
The StandX Growth Path is the community progression system — and everything happens on the StandX Discord. It recognizes active members with exclusive roles and growing rewards. There is no single way to contribute: the system values different profiles, from content creators to developers, event organizers, researchers and local ambassadors.
Step by step
1
Accumulate 3,000 Engage Points
Join weekly events, react to announcements and engage in chat and VC. But the most direct path is creating content: StandX has a daily creation program on X — market insights, tutorials, memes, videos and analysis. You post on X, share the link in #content-creation on Discord and earn points based on quality. Top creators receive 20 to 40 points per day and a weekly community shoutout. With 3,000 points, go to #marketplace and buy the @Stander role.
2
Apply for @SEED
With @Stander in hand, apply for @SEED in the #seed-application channel. The team reviews your activity. If accepted, you join as an official contributor. If not, you can reapply in 2 weeks.
3
Choose your Squad
Open a ticket in #support-ticket and declare the squad that fits you. Each squad has specific tasks. See the available squads below — and remember you can collaborate beyond your squad.
4
Complete tasks and level up to @SPROUT
Tasks are in #task-board. Submit in #task-submission. To upgrade, you need Engage ≥ 4,000 + your squad's criteria (see section below). Mods also evaluate server presence — discussions, helping new members and initiatives count.
5
@FLOWER — the highest level
Reserved for those who lead initiatives, elevate the community's standards and build things that weren't asked for. Pure meritocracy.

💡 Choose based on what you enjoy doing, not what seems easiest. The best squad is the one that will keep you active and consistent.

📘 Full documentation on Notion — usage guidelines, what to combine and what not to, versioning.

Why StandX? The structural answer for traders who take execution seriously
Most perp platforms answer the same question the wrong way: What happens to your capital when you're not in a position? The standard answer is simple: nothing. StandX starts from a different premise — why should capital stop working just because you're not in a trade?

There was a day when all of this was just a drawing on a piece of paper. No charts. No strategies. No Perp DEX deep dives. Just me, some paint, and a small stander sitting on my shoulder.

This hub is that infrastructure. Templates, assets, squad guide and real examples — in an HTML file that runs in the browser. No paid Notion, no sign-up. An open contribution. If it helped you, it was worth it.
