Why and How did we create the Chromatic protocol?
: https://t.co/NeSInCac2e
Following GMX’s success, there has been a proliferation of futures DEXs. However, the majority of them have merely added supplementary features to services that we’ve already seen before. As a result, public expectations for futures DEXs have been dwindling. The fact that DEXs still occupy a minor share in the crypto futures market underscores the inability of GMX and its replicated services to bring forth genuine innovation in the decentralized futures market.
The traditional futures markets have evolved over more than two centuries. Chromatic seeks to combine the wealth of experience accumulated in traditional financial markets with the decentralized principles enabled by blockchain technology to create real innovation in modern financial markets.
This article is about why and how the Chromatic protocol was created.

Perp DEXes with a liquidity pool model and a flat fee are unlikely to have a bright future. The competition is too big and they need to innovate to stay competitive.
Liquidity is mispriced most of the time. Eg a 0.1% fee for a small trade on GMX v1/Gains is expensive compared to CEXes/new competitors while the same 0.1% fee for a whale order is very cheap.
To protect LPs the protocols have to limit OI which creates a lot of idle liquidity in the pool, charge higher borrowing fees to compensate LPs and make it harder for traders to win against. LP, etc etc.
If the protocols ease on the safety measures there are more chances (there is also a chance) for them to go bust same as what happened to @GainsNetwork_io during the Luna crash (they improved the safety after that).
Here is a comparison of the trading costs between different perp DEXes from @d8x_exchange (data is more than 1y old).
As you can see, LOB perp DEX had the lowest cost of trading and is the safest for LPers (Market Makers decide themselves on a risk they want to take).
New designs from @GMX_IO v2 and @synthetix v3 perps are solving some of the problems by creating a fee spread based on the long/short OI.
Traders who are balancing the ratio are getting positive slippage and/or pay less fees, while traders who are unbalancing long/short ratio have to pay higher fees and/or face the slippage.
I think this model is much more fair for both traders and especially LPers.
However, dynamic fees/market making from the active LPers are proved to be more efficient than static pools in the example of Uni v3.
A similar solution is created by @chromatic_perp (15 followers but super cool medium/gitbook, I recommend reading it). LPers can distribute liquidity among bins with different trading fees, synthetically replicating the spread on LOB exchanges).
It will help to concentrate cheap liquidity without the significant risks for LPers and fairly price larger orders.
This might lead to most of the order flow going through this type of exchange, while "toxic trades" (trades that might lead to heavy disbalances or risks for LPers) will go through the DEXes with a flat fee.
Another question is capital efficiency.
Existing perp DEXes are unable to provide high capital efficiency due to the specifics of their design
Source: @d8x_exchange medium
@symm_io significantly improves capital efficiency by replicating LOB design with its peer-to-peer RFQ Design (Automated Markets for Quotations AMFQ).
At the same time, Symm is bypassing on-chain order books throughput limitations.
Conclusion
Perp DEXes space has the biggest potential in DeFi and therefore it has the highest competition. High competition is very good for the end users but protocols will face a race to the lowest possible fees and will have to innovate to stay in the game.
GMX v2, Synthetix perps v3, etc is a step in the right direction but it would be still hard to compete with new perp DEX designs in terms of capital efficiency and dynamic fees that are not based on the internal OI.
And again, I love this space for unstoppable innovations and its builders. Thank you all!
