> "After comparing a bunch of Perp DEXs on Base:

Some have VC backing but zero volume,  
Some have volume but it’s all unlocked supply dumping,  

RollX is the real deal:  
No VC, real users, real trading volume.

While other Perp projects on Base are still grinding in the mud,"

No, this is bad for tokens whose main utility is providing a 24/7 avenue for gambling.

Crypto that fulfills a specific purpose, like store of value ( $BTC), smart contracts ( $ETH), and CCIP ( $LINK), will benefit from this"

Right now in the crypto space, only the casino (trading) facility has real, genuine demand.  
And the ceiling set by HyperliquidX is still right there in front of everyone.

Here’s a quick roundup of some perp"

Solana barely makes the top 10.

it’s not optimized for onchain perps.

Liquidity  
And fucking still LIQUIDITY  

At 10 bps spread

Whether on DEX or CEX  
This is already TOP tier  

Many exchanges took years to reach this depth"

For users who have actually used

  the #1 spot is already obvious.
As someone who has tried pretty much every DEX, this is an honest ranking  no exaggeration 
Without going deep into technical details, for a trader"

I've reminded about this before, but with a market like today's, I'll remind everyone once more.

The biggest risk"

A 24/7 spot price feed accessible onchain would dramatically improve oracle reliability. 

The real value prop for perps is permissionless leverage on equities, not 24/7 access. TradFi was always going to dominate spot trading anyways."
