看来还有很多人并没有跟着perp的大流走啊，那接下来就换个方向，不再一直发Perp了。

1.
@paradex
 is about to TGE; points are trading OTC at ~1x payout odds right now.

2. 
@variational_io
 will definitely be a top “pre-token PERP DEX” leader.

3. 
@liquidtrading
 is still very early; raised $20M; points are still cheap.

 Points & Airdrop Quick-Read Version!!!

One-sentence conclusion:  
Requires real capital, but the mechanism is very user-friendly — currently the PERP project that feels most like it’s “genuinely subsidizing traders”.

 Funding: $11.8M

Hopefully these points turn into a good airdrop in the near future

Don't need alot of money to farm perps. Just set decent stop losses and youll win and lose some. Rack up points in the meantime"
