on‑chain perps: choose your arena, farm your edge
cash‑grab season is almost over, next meta is volume farming
here’s the hit‑list i’m rotating through, one venue per tweet so you can bookmark & dive when you’ve got time🧵

> why care
cex futures still run the volume game, but every month more size migrates on‑chain. control the keys, farm the points, skip the kyc
upside > the clunky ui tax
> perp dex ≠ binance clone
- margin + leverage (same)
- trades settle on smart contracts (diff)
- no fiat ramp, thinner books (trade‑off)
- your pnl = your wallet, not the exchange ledger
numbers never lie
hyperliquid tvl: up only even after the airdrop ‑> product > bribery
3‑day avg vol across all perp dexs pushing new aths. disenchantment with cex risk is real
the menu - 10 venues worth a spin
• @tradeparadex (starknet super‑stack, dime collateral, 20 % airdrop 2025)
• @hibachi_xyz (privacy orderbook on celestia, points live)
• @VestExchange (zk perps, 50x lev, season‑1 1m pts wk)
• @SatoriFinance (cross‑chain, rwa futures, season‑2 airdrop pool)
• @VesselFinance (zk l3 over scroll, voyage loyalty)
• @ranger_finance (solana aggregator, jupiter for perps)
• @arkham exchange (on‑chain proof‑of‑reserves, points → arkm)
• @Aster_DEX (1001x degen mode, rh points)
• @cubexch (cefi skin, defi back‑end, mobile soon)
• @etherealdex (l3 on ethena, usde margin, 672m pre‑dep)
how to farm without aping 30x
• volume = points, size small but loop it
• stake native token or lsd collateral pools
• referral kickbacks (hibachi 5 % / vest 10 %)
• bot the quests – captain bots can 10x your footprint
risk cheat‑sheet
leverage = weapon. 5x on a dex feels like 20x on binance when the oracle hiccups
keep gas for emergency close. track insurance fund health - if it drains you are exit liquidity
liquidity reality check
orderbook spreads still 3‑4x wider than top cex. scalp?
use hyper or vest
swing?
paradex or satori works
whale?
split flow or you’ll move the index
rwa angle
perp dexs will list oil, gold, treasury yield before coinbase does. satori already testing plume feed.
first mover here pulls in tradfi degen flow → token multiples
thesis
points today = equity tomorrow
farming a season now is buying seed equity with gas fees. worst case you learned a new platform
best case you repeat hyperliquid
my map
70 % hyperliquid (still yields real fees)
10 % paradex saison farm
10 % vest ignition pools
10 % hibachi privacy punt
review weekly, rotate to highest incentive apr
the game
perp dexs are not hype, they are infra. every cpi print and every sec subpoena nudges one more fund on‑chain. learn the rails now or you’ll pay the spread later
rt for the degen next to you, reply which venue you’re farming. let’s compare scoreboards in december
did you think that was the end? this is just the beginning of the thread
next will be 17 relevant perpDex that I found
each one provides something unique
1 @HyperliquidX
the benchmark. yes, points S1 ended - but 40 % of supply is still reserved
🔹trade → hl pts 2.0
🔹bridge to hyperEVM, stake $uETH, double dip
motto = “every fill still counts”

2 @Lighter_xyz
scroll zk order‑book (eth l2). tvl low, fees 0 % maker
funding rebates + daily quests = hidden multiplier
i throttle size here to <1 ETH per order and let the bot grind
link:

4 @VestExchange
multi‑chain zk‑risk engine. points = 1 M / week until sept
best spread lives on zkSync. i leg in 2x notional hedge (arb vs base) to print cheap
link:

5 @hibachi_xyz
celestia data blobs, encrypted books. privacy quests worth 5×
seeded by dragonfly. trade tiny lots, mine the “ghost lp” boost before caps fill
link:

6 @SatoriFinance
cross‑chain, real‑world perps (oil, gold). season‑2 = 5 % supply
deposit ≥2 k USDC → 1.5×; hold ≥24 h → 2×. simple
link:

7 @Aster_DEX
yzi labs money. simple mode 1001×, pro mode full suite
rh‑points stack from both trading + referrals (20 % kickback). season‑2 loading
link:

8 @ranger_finance
solana perp aggregator (jupiter for futures). ranks reset every monday
weekend volumes low → top 50 costs peanuts. plus DT drop if you routed through the custom link
link:

9 @OstiumLabs
trade spx / cl / gold alongside btc. pair with extended (same founders) to hedge
each platform gives separate points pool, two birds, one hedge
