The scene then transitions to highlight the key metric being earned—$12,179 in Open Interest—before closing with the announcement that "Delta-Neutral Mode is live" alongside a link to syphercore.com/vesper. The progression visually reinforces the post's message that holding open interest earns more Perpl points than chasing trading volume. > > "Most people farm @perpltrade points with volume. But the points formula pays for something else: Open Interest. A hedged position held open for hours beats a thousand churned fills. That's exactly what Vesper's Delta-Neutral Mode does - long on Perpl, short on Lighter" --- *Generated by Context Pilot Social Intelligence Engine.*
