Bybit pauses the Bybit City mini-app after Month One, teases an Alpha relaunch and adds ZAMAUSDT pre-market perpetuals
Bybit City event ends and the mini-app goes into maintenance
In an update shared by Bybit on its official Telegram channel, the first monthly Bybit City event has concluded after a 30-day run. The exchange said the mini-app will go into maintenance until the next launch and that the experience will return in an “Alpha version,” described as tighter and faster. You can read the full update in the official announcement.
The same post confirms a 1,000 USDT prize pool and notes that 50 top winners were selected to share it.
Event mechanics and mini-app engagement often signal what an exchange is testing next, from user flows to reward distribution. Maintenance windows can also impact any ongoing tasks, point systems, or in-app actions tied to those features.
What to watch next

Bybit adds a new pre-market perpetual: ZAMAUSDT
Bybit also announced a new pre-market derivatives listing: ZAMAUSDT perpetual contracts. The listing was posted via the exchange’s official Telegram channel, which you can reference in the official announcement post.
What “pre-market perpetual” implies
Pre-market perpetuals are designed to let traders speculate on an asset’s price before it is available as a standard derivatives market on the venue. They can be useful for early price discovery, but they also tend to come with thinner liquidity, wider spreads, and faster regime changes than more established contracts. For Bybit’s product framing, see its pre-market perpetual overview.
Why it matters
Early access: Traders can express directional views earlier than typical listings
Volatility: Pre-market instruments often move sharply on limited liquidity and shifting expectations
Risk management: Funding, mark pricing, and liquidity conditions can differ from standard perpetuals
What to watch
Liquidity and spread behavior during the first sessions
Any subsequent transition from pre-market to a standard perpetual or spot listing
Funding, mark price behavior, and any contract parameter updates
Conclusion
Bybit is keeping its product cadence active on two fronts: it is pausing the Bybit City mini-app after Month One to prepare an Alpha relaunch, and it is expanding pre-market derivatives with ZAMAUSDT. For traders, the practical focus is on timing and mechanics: when the mini-app returns and what changes in the Alpha version, plus how ZAMAUSDT pre-market liquidity and pricing evolve in early trading.
