We built Overlay to trade anything.
Things no other perps DEX would touch.
The vision was right. The timing wasn't.
Here's what we learned, and where Overlay is going next π
The thesis hasn't changed.
Overlay opened perps to the long tail of crypto β no order book, no market maker, just an oracle feed.
Every token that couldn't get perps at the past, now can.
More soon. π
Officially listed on @coingecko as a Perpetual DEX β
Overlay is the only perp DEX built specifically for long-tail assets.
Now the market can see us for what we are.

Most perp exchanges share the same playbook.
Deep liquidity pools. Established order books. High-cap majors only. If your token doesn't fit β you're out β
Overlay is built differently.
Markets are priced through oracle feeds, not order books. No liquidity bootstrapping required. No market maker deals. If a verifiable data feed exists for an asset β it can be listed π
That opens the door to long-tail crypto perps traditional venues tend to ignore.
Projects launch their own perp markets in days. Communities pool capital to fund them and earn 30% of trading fees permanently. Traders get leveraged exposure to tokens.
The infrastructure was always the bottleneck. Overlay removes it.
The summer heat is relentless, so is Overlay π₯
Weβre heating up perp markets for thin-liquidity tokens. No deep liquidity, no market makers: just token, traders, and leverage.
You can already trade $CHZ, $AERO, $PLUME and more.
Overlay: perps for the tokens everyone else left out in the sun. Up and running βοΈ
Why is Overlay the best venue for long-tail tokens?
CEXs mostly list assets with deep liquidity and proven volume. The vast majority of DeFi tokens never get a perps market β no leverage, no price exposure for their communities.
Overlay removes that constraint. Traders trade against the protocol β no market makers, no liquidity bootstrapping problem.
Any token can have a perps market from day one.
Community Pools take it further β anyone can spin up a new market, on-chain, stablecoin-settled, with fees flowing back to stakeholders.
