MEXC has launched a trivia-style giveaway built around the numeric code 08°08', offering a total prize pool of 2,888 USDT to users who can correctly identify what the figure represents. The exchange said the first three participants to answer correctly will split the largest rewards, with a wider pool of consolation prizes guaranteed regardless of the outcome.

Under the campaign's structure, the first correct entrant wins 888 USDT, the second receives 588 USDT, and the third takes home 388 USDT. A separate tier of 64 randomly selected participants will each receive 16 USDT, expanding the number of people who can walk away with a reward beyond just the top three.

A Built-In Fallback if No One Solves It

MEXC structured the contest so it pays out even if nobody cracks the puzzle. If no participant correctly identifies what 08°08' represents, the exchange said it will randomly select 100 eligible participants to receive rewards instead, ensuring the prize pool gets distributed either way rather than going unclaimed.

Part of a Broader Pattern of Engagement Campaigns

The trivia format is one of several promotional mechanics exchanges have leaned on this year to drive platform engagement without tying rewards strictly to trading volume or deposits. By combining a skill-based guessing element with a guaranteed random-draw fallback, MEXC's campaign is designed to reward both users who correctly solve the puzzle and a broader pool of participants who simply take part.
