The story of crypto has always been about chasing scale without losing its soul. Every Layer 2 promises speed and efficiency, but most compromise somewhere along the way — in liquidity, in usability, in trust. @Gate just launched “Gate Layer” and it’s entering with a different ambition: to become the foundation where performance and culture converge, powered by $GT at its core. This is not just another network claiming faster blocks and lower fees. Gate Layer is engineered for intensity: over 5,700 transactions per second, finality in a heartbeat, and costs so low they erase the barriers between idea and execution. Built on GateChain with $GT staking securing consensus, it is a system where speed does not come at the expense of security, and interoperability is more than a buzzword. With LayerZero integration, liquidity moves freely across Ethereum, BSC, Polygon and beyond — a rare promise kept in a landscape littered with bridges and broken trust. But raw performance is only the engine. What sets Gate Layer apart is what that engine drives. Three core tools define its launch: • Perp, a perpetuals platform designed to bring CEX-level depth to a decentralized stage. • Gate Fun, a no-code creator’s arena where tokens and ideas come alive. • Meme Go, a cultural lightning rod, capturing the pulse of cross-chain meme liquidity in real time. Together, they form not just utilities, but a living ecosystem where trading, building, and culture collide. $GT fuels it all — not just as gas, but as the heartbeat of the network. Staked for security, burned for scarcity, and embedded at every layer of utility, $GT transforms from an exchange token into the lifeblood of an open Web3 economy. Gate Layer isn’t an upgrade. It’s a declaration that scalability and culture don’t have to be separate, that performance and liquidity can live in the same breath, and that Web3 deserves an infrastructure built not just for today’s traders, but for tomorrow’s creators.

My bias on $BTC. My long entry is 108250 #BTCUSDT# $perp #trader#

If you launch a shitcoin without listing it on a CEX, you're a bad mtfk. If you launch a shitcoin and list it on a perp CEX, you are a hero.

One of the fastest ways to understand the crypto space is to look at what just happened with $ASTER. For months Hyperliquid was the darling of CT. It had the liquidity, the traction, the clean execution. Then Aster showed up, and in a matter of days attention shifted. The reason was not that Aster suddenly outperformed across all metrics. The reason was that one big name got tied to the project. This is how crypto works. Attention moves quicker than fundamentals. We saw it with Solana in the Layer 1 rush when high-profile support pushed it into the spotlight. We saw it again during the NFT mania when a few artists and influencers triggered adoption. Now the perp wars are showing the same pattern. Liquidity follows narrative, and narrative follows attention. The lesson is simple. You cannot afford to be static in this space. You cannot look away. You need to be online, watching sentiment, catching shifts as they happen. Being chronically online is not a waste here. It is an edge. The rise of $ASTER is not just one exchange taking share from another. It is proof that attention is the most powerful currency in crypto. Fundamentals will decide who lasts, but attention decides who runs the cycle. If you are not tracking the flow of attention, you are already behind.

A key benefit of the million perp DEXs that currently exist is the opportunity for funding rate arbitrage It took me only FIVE minutes to find this example By shorting Plume on @vooi_io and longing them on Paradex, you can currently earn a delta-neutral APY of 280%... If you want I can start posting a lot more of these opportunities!

oh yeah shill me another perp dex thats exactly what i needed

I just updated the one stop shop for discovering perp dexes Here is a document that I will continuously update with new projects I am interacting with + special links + notes Check it out: Make sure to bookmark so you can return and see new projects Still wondering whether I should do this for the SocialFi campaigns I've been talking about including perps products like @vooi_io or @dango

Big update on HIP-3 from Hyperliquid: > HIP-3 is now eligible for mainnet-level bounties on testnet (with several easter eggs purposefully hidden) > Staking requirement will start at 500k HYPE instead of 1M HYPE & is expected to lower over time > 1 deployer that meets the stake requirement can initially deploy 1 HIP-3 perp DEX > any quote asset can be used as the collateral for a dex, if an asset loses its "permissionless quote asset" status (by validator vote), the HIP-3 dex would be paused > 1 perp DEX can deploy 3 initial HIP-3 markets without going through the auction > will be isolated-only margin to start > permissionless quote assets that are also considered "aligned stablecoins" will have their reduced trading fees translate to the HIP-3 perps as well > HIP-3 trading fees with be 2x, such that the 50% share collected by Hyperliquid is equal to the fee collected on regular perps markets > slashing is by validator vote & won't distinguish malice/incompetence. Any slashing should be followed by bug fixes so it can't happen again, such that HIP-3 is eventually resistant to even a malicious deployer & requires no slashing. > LST operators should carefully diligence HIP-3 deployers, & a self-bonding requirement for HIP-3 deployers may make sense in the future

fundraise szn here's few good projects which got fundraised in last days: 1) @_bulktrade : The future of trading, perp dex on solana. alphanet is live. $8m seed round. led by @robotventures & @6thManVentures , few investors are @wmt_ventures , @BigBrainVC and more. 2) @meleemarkets : The next generation of prediction markets. anyone can make a market about anything, creators monetize their audience, and traders make more money. raised $3.5m from @variantfund & @dba_crypto also, already posted about them earlier. 3) @raikucom : Raiku offers high-performance block building, using Solana's core validators to ensure fast, predictable transactions with guaranteed block inclusion. raised $13.5m, led by @PanteraCapital , investors are @jump_ , @lightspeedvp , @BigBrainVC and more. 4) @BastionPlatform : Regulated stablecoin issuance platform for institutions and enterprises, with built-in custody and on&off-ramps to launch and grow your stablecoin ecosystem.

$ETH futures open interest is now 43.3%, one of the highest ever. Perp volume dominance just hit a record 67% - the biggest shift toward #Ethereum trading in history

I see that many people start to perp trade.. Let me give you a warning-> Unless you are a pro, you will most likely lose on high leverage. And when I say most likely, I talk about 90% chance High leverage for amateurs(!) is even worse than not taking initials out.. BEWARE

#GateLayerOfficiallyLaunches# Gate has officially launched Gate Layer, a high-performance Layer 2 network, leading the GT ecosystem into a full “All in Web3” upgrade. With GT staking backing it, Gate Layer strikes a balance between raw performance and strong security. It supports over 5,700 transactions per second with a 1-second block time. Transaction fees will be much lower than those on most existing Layer 2 networks. The platform is rolling out three core tool Perp, Gate Fun, and Meme Go to drive trading, liquidity, and value creation. As the only gas token, GT will power the entire system with a continuous burning mechanism, while GateChain upgrades ensure a robust foundation. Why Gate Layer Matters This launch transforms Gate from being just an exchange to a Web3 infrastructure provider. By making GT the exclusive gas token, Gate ensures sustained demand as more users and developers interact on the network. The ultra-low fees remove a major barrier to participation, encouraging smaller and newer projects to build. With high throughput, the network can support use cases that traditional chains struggle with. The integrated tools (Perp, Gate Fun, Meme Go) broaden utility across finance, community tokens, and creative projects. My Advice to Everyone Be strategic don’t jump in blindly. Start by understanding how Gate Layer works and explore its tools. Consider using a small amount of GT first to test transaction behavior. Watch key metrics like transaction volume, burn rate, and adoption growth. Balance ambition with caution: invest only what you can afford to lose. If Gate Layer succeeds, early participants may see strong benefits but success depends on real usage, not just hype. Let’s grow together with caution and vision. https://www.gate.com/announcements/article/47349

.@Gate just rolled out Gate Layer -> I got a sense of a wave of CEX’s L2 starting to surge. Built on OP Stack → 5,700+ TPS, 1s blocks, cheap fees, full EVM. Secured by GateChain + LayerZero → multi-chain by design. $GT will be the exclusive gas token with a dual deflationary model. Already 60.18% of the supply burned. Stake $GT to fuel the network. And they’re not stopping there → Perp, Gate Fun, Meme Go… → Gate’s clearly going all-in on Web3 infra.

Tectonic shifts in the perp dex world. Perp DEX Volumes compared to 1 week ago Hyperliquid (red) $11.0b 👉 $10.0b Lighter (yellow) $3.9b 👉 $11.0b Aster (blue) $1.9b 👉 $35b Edgex (purple) $1.4b 👉 $6.2b This feels just like 2018 exchange fee-mining season 2021 defi summer pool2 season It doesn't end particularly well for retail. Cash-out even a small amount, unless you know what you're doing. It is very easy to lose money at this stage of the market.

🔥 Big news, fam! The @Gate Gate Layer is live and it’s a game-changer. Built on the OP Stack, this L2 scales like crazy, 5,700+ TPS, lightning-fast 1s blocks, ultra-low fees, and 100% EVM support. Secured by GateChain and supercharged with LayerZero for seamless multi-chain action. 🌍 💎 The $GT token just leveled up too! It’s now the exclusive gas token with a dual deflationary design (over 60% already burned 🔥). Stake GT to power the network. Plus, new features like Perp, Gate Fun, and Meme Go are pushing Gate’s bold “All in Web3” mission forward. 🚀 Don’t just watch — be part of the future. #GateLayer #Web3 #Crypto

Just peeped @Gate’s Gate Layer drop… this ain’t a small move 👀 1s blocks, crazy TPS, low fees, full EVM — all backed by GateChain + LayerZero for that multi-chain flow. 🌐 GT as gas is 🔑… 60%+ already burned & staking actually powers the chain. Add new plays like Perp, Gate Fun & Meme Go feels like Gate’s going all out Web3. Kinda bullish ngl… who’s riding this wave with me? 🚀 #GateLayer

Once again $AVNT is #2 in the 24 hour volume for perp coins. $BNKR fam, we are definitely going to make a run for the top 100 and top 3 in perp coins.

I'm hearing only 1 perp dex will have a day 1 spot XPL listing tomorrow Not sure which one that is, but if I wasn't exposed I would be concerned

Pretty cool that this space has evolved from fat hippos to perp DEXs in 1 year

Looks like all other coins are dead, due to liquidity vacuum of this perp dexes everyone is farming hoping for an airdrop

#BREAKING #Solana Ecosystem Perp DEX Bulk Completes $8 Million Seed Round, Led by 6th Man Ventures and Robot Ventures #Bitcoin $BTC

Hyperliquid just put up $4.8M in fees in the last 24H. To put that into perspective, $HYPE generated more fees than Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, and Bitcoin. Read that again. A perp dex, with no points program or airdrop farming is outpacing the biggest blockchains in the world. Why? Because real demand = real fees. Traders aren’t here for promises, they’re here because Hyperliquid is one of the best products in crypto. Hyperliquid isn’t just keeping up with the L1 giants. It’s already leading the pack.

DropsTab: leading blockchains by daily perp volume.

$PERP Long Setup: High-Reward Entry with Solid Targets Why This Setup? ✅ Bullish Reversal Confirmed: Price has already bounced sharply from the Advance Order Block (OB) – strong signal for upward movement. ✅ Double Power: The confluence of OB + FVG supercharges the demand zone, making this setup even more solid. ✅ Structure Shift: The market structure has shifted, confirming the bullish momentum is here to stay. ✅ Liquidity Targets: Eyes on that previous week’s high for potential gains. @perpprotocol

Farming a new perp DEX + actually being profitable Nothing beats this feeling

ASTER 2025: Redefining the DEX Battleground Every cycle in crypto brings forward a handful of projects that transition from obscurity to dominance in record time. In 2025, ASTER has emerged as one of those rare contenders. What started as an ambitious effort to merge centralized-exchange speed with decentralized ownership has now become one of the most disruptive stories in on-chain trading. This isn’t just another trending token — it’s a live case study in how fundamentals, token design, and market flows can converge to rewrite the competitive landscape. Market Context: Price Discovery at Scale In under a week, ASTER rallied from $0.08 to $2.42, setting a new all-time high and pushing its FDV toward $19 billion. While volatility of this magnitude isn’t unusual for new tokens, the velocity here wasn’t purely speculative. With daily trading volumes exceeding $20B, open interest crossing $1.25B, and protocol revenues in the $7–9M range, ASTER has already rivaled — and on some days surpassed — Hyperliquid, the benchmark perp DEX of this cycle. The technical map is clear: $2.00–$2.20 has become the near-term battleground, with $2.42 as the breakout trigger. A consolidation above this range with growing volumes could push targets toward $2.60–$2.85. On the flip side, losing the $1.75–$1.80 level would unwind momentum. For now, the structure remains bullish, but this is a flows-driven trade — entirely dependent on revenue, open interest, and liquidity migration. Fundamentals: Beyond the Hype What separates ASTER is its product-market fit. Unlike other perp DEXs competing on incentives alone, ASTER delivers features that resonate with both retail and professional traders: Hidden orders and advanced execution tools mirroring CEX performance. Multi-chain support across BNB Chain, Ethereum, Solana, and Arbitrum. Yield-bearing collateral (asBNB, USDF), allowing margin to earn while posted. This last innovation flips the perp model — collateral is no longer idle, but productive. Combined with MEV-resistant, one-click execution, ASTER narrows the gap between CEXs and DEXs like few before it. Tokenomics: Supply with Strategy ASTER’s supply mechanics are designed with growth alignment: Max supply: 8B tokens; circulating float: ~1.65B. 53.5% distributed via airdrop for adoption. 30% for ecosystem incentives. 7% to treasury, 5% to team (12-month cliff, 40-month vest). 4.5% to liquidity and listings. The APX → ASTER upgrade path introduces a live, decaying migration stream. This ensures liquidity continuity while creating ongoing issuance dynamics — a key factor for traders to monitor. The USDF Advantage USDF, ASTER’s yield-bearing stablecoin, is another critical component. Pegged 1:1 with USDT and backed by delta-neutral strategies, it offers both stability and yield. Its staked form, asUSDF, compounds this yield further. The dual role of stable settlement + yield capture gives ASTER a liquidity moat. Yet, it also introduces systemic risks: peg stability and strategy transparency must be maintained at scale. ASTER vs. Hyperliquid: The Strategic Gap While Hyperliquid leads in TVL, ASTER has surpassed it in daily revenues and trading volume during its launch phase. Hyperliquid remains a strong execution venue; ASTER, however, is building a full-stack ecosystem: perps, spot, yield, stablecoin, and soon Aster Chain — a dedicated L1 optimized for privacy and scalability. The strategic difference is clear: Hyperliquid plays defense with liquidity; ASTER plays offense with breadth and efficiency. Risks to Watch Unlock pressure from airdrops, ecosystem allocations, and APX migration. Revenue durability — current spikes may normalize. USDF stability — any peg shock undermines ASTER’s moat. Execution risk around Aster Chain timelines. Strategic Outlook As long as ASTER maintains the $2.00 zone with daily revenues above $5M and expanding open interest, the outlook stays bullish. This isn’t just a short-term hype cycle; it’s an ecosystem in motion. For traders, ASTER offers volatility with structure. For investors, it provides a growth story backed by real revenues. For builders, it signals that DeFi’s next phase is about closing the CEX–DEX performance gap while maximizing capital efficiency. Conclusion In one week, ASTER has achieved what most projects chase for years — volume, revenue, and market relevance. The fundamentals, technicals, and strategy align under a simple but aggressive playbook: capture liquidity, scale fast, and expand into chain-level infrastructure. Ethereum may remain crypto’s ultimate settlement layer, but ASTER is already shaping the next chapter of exchange wars. Whether it becomes a long-term leader or a cautionary tale will depend on execution — but for now, the momentum is undeniable, and the strategy is bold. #LaunchpadXplOpen# #DogecoinEtfUpdate##CryptoMarketPullback##TryC2cShieldToday#
