· 2026-01-04T18:02:40+00:00Perp DEX more or less the worst performing sector on the bounce so far Not surprising, as HYPE has obviously become consensus and finally having unlocks, plus a fresh ~$700m 0 cost basis float to work through on $LIT Still probably the best vertical in the market longer term

· 2026-01-04T15:21:16+00:00It feels like the era of perps farming is coming to an end. What started with Hyperliquid feels like it’s ending with Aster, Lighter, and others. There are still many high quality, tokenless projects but I'm not convinced we will see outsized returns there anymore, unless you
· 2026-01-04T07:32:00+00:00Yo bros, how much have you all made in the Perp DEX space? Lao Mo's officially jealous AF—still time to jump in now? Hahaha.

· 2026-01-04T11:18:57+00:00If I could leave my job and build one startup right now it would be a halal perp dex, purely because how much demand I've seen for it. It hasn't been done before successfully, because once you remove leverage, margin and enforce asset ownership, you end up with a weird limit
· 2026-01-04T10:02:33+00:00Lately, I've seen a lot of friends sharing ｜their "bloody tear history" of grinding the Perps track themselves. "Projects I went all-in on grinding ended up with nothing to show, while others struck it rich on airdrops." It instantly pulled me back to those Layer2 era

· 2026-01-04T15:25:23+00:00Perp DEXs are a dime a dozen, but @StandX_Official is playing the game a little differently. They’re not just telling users to trade more, they’re telling them to hold smarter. Which is why StandX comes off more like an infrastructure play than a fleeting trading app.
· 2026-01-04T12:40:02+00:00The issue with perp everything is the fact not everything need to be a perp, if a product have already leverage included inside him ( ex options, index ) I don't need perp at all Perp is efficient at pricing stuff relative to spot due to fundings, but easier to crime that
