A few weeks ago @perpadfun focus was getting the core platform working properly. Then came the @PhoenixTrade migration. Now they’re already talking about platform wide stats, USDC pair support, long/short token pairing, Birdseye integration, token embeds, and leveraged tokens in the near future.
The long/short token pairing feature is probably the one that caught my attention the most. One of the biggest limitations today is that every token is tied to a single directional thesis. Having both long and short exposure available on the same token opens up a lot more possibilities than simply launching another coin backed by a single position.
The stats page is another thing I’ve wanted for a while. There’s already a lot happening under the hood, but most people only look at the chart. Having platform-wide metrics should make it much easier to track how much volume is flowing through the ecosystem, how positions are performing, and how much has been burned.
USDC pairs are also a bigger update than people might realize. Not everyone wants additional SOL exposure every time they interact with the platform, so giving users the choice between SOL and USDC just makes sense.
And honestly, leveraged tokens are what I’m most curious about.
I’m still confident in my long term conviction on $PERPAD.
Not because I expect it to go up tomorrow.
My thesis is still the same.
If @perpadfun succeeds in bringing more projects, more trading activity, and more attention to on-chain perps on @solana , then I think the ecosystem becomes significantly more valuable over time.
I like the fact that the team keeps shipping.
I like the fact that everything is visible on-chain.
And I like the fact that activity is routed back into the ecosystem through buybacks and burns.
For now, $PERPAD remains one of my highest conviction long term bets.
