> **Visual Note:** A bold graphic titled 'THE ILLUSION OF CONTROL: Rethinking the true cost of leverage in DeFi perpetuals,' set against a background of crashing financial candlestick charts, branded with the 'nolus' logo.

> "Perps traders love talking about leverage.

Nobody talks about the tax they volunteer to pay.

On DeFi perps platforms like GMX, Drift, and dYdX, you pay every 8 hours to stay long.

When everyone gets bullish, your position gets more expensive.

The market decides what you pay."
