Quick take on onchain perps: the real advantage isn't the leverage multiplier—it's the infrastructure underneath.

With decentralized perpetual trading platforms, there's no account creation barrier. Your funds stay in your wallet, settlement happens deterministically, and here's the kicker: FX, rates, commodities, and equities all tap into the same liquidity pool. That unified settlement layer changes the game compared to traditional silos.

Yesterday I was exploring exactly how this plays out across different asset classes on these platforms. The architecture is where the innovation actually lives.

ngl the unified liquidity pool thing is literally like finally having one farm-to-fork supply chain instead of a thousand fragmented restaurant kitchens... settlement determinism hits different when you're not begging some centralized oracle to get your numbers right

On-chain perpetuals are not the most attractive part; it's really the underlying architecture... A pool of liquidity that can handle all kinds of assets. The traditional fragmented system seems outdated.

Infrastructure is the real key; leverage strategies are all just illusions.
