Perp DEXs are having a moment.
But most still let bots eat your orders before settlement.
What matters most to you in a perp DEX?
A. MEV protection
B. Deep liquidity
C. Revenue sharing
D. Simple UX
$OPAL built different
I think this is one of the smartest moves the @opal_dex team has made so far
Soon, $OPAL will be leaving Ethereum mainnet and making the move to Base, opening the door to much bigger opportunities for the project
They’re already receiving incredible support from some of the biggest names in the @base ecosystem
And Base has become one of the most active places for builders in crypto. More developers are launching there, more users are joining every day, and liquidity continues to grow
For a privacy-first perpetual DEX like Opal, it feels like the perfect environment to keep building
Welcome to @base, @opal_dex!
Privacy perps are a category we’re very excited about and we’re grateful to have @ClemensCrypto and @kenzanboo building it on Base
The Opal token is moving to @base
When we launched Opal, we deliberately chose Ethereum mainnet. We wanted to see which ecosystem would truly support our long-term vision before committing.
The answer became obvious.
Base is the fastest-growing L2 and extremely performant. On the token side, it has significantly more volume and attention than ETH mainnet. But most importantly for us, it offers its builders by far the best support.
Over the past 7 months, the Base team has been instrumental in helping us bring the first house-blind privacy perpetual DEX to market. From ecosystem support to the ventures team, they’ve consistently gone above and beyond. Going through two Base Batches cohorts was a game changer, and we’d encourage every serious builder to apply to the next one.
Huge thank you to the team at base @jessepollak@davidtsocy@BronheimDaniel@RyanGittleson and @ZacPrater for all your help and support thus far.
This is a move our community has been asking for for months, and we’re excited to finally make it happen.
Existing holders will be migrated 1:1. Team
tokens will remain fully locked and all liquidity will also be moved 1:1. For now, OPAL will continue trading on ETH mainnet as usual and we’ll announce a launch date and more details soon.
On the product side, we're happy to share that production testing is going well so far, and another batch of invites is going out today.
We are getting close to that possible breakout, so let`s see the @opal_dex magic.
I hear there could be possibly some big news coming to $OPAL again soon... just a hint... I always connect the dots, nothing is random, all is calculated.
Let the fun begin.

If you are not bullish on $OPAL I cannot help you...
Few tips for you to research:
- CEO is a GOAT connected, putting money where his mouth is
- Privacy Perp DEX built on BASE
- @coinbase audit incoming
- Talked with @brian_armstrong about OPAL and got good feedback
- Was noticed by @jessepollak
There more beneath this one...
Not for a reason it`s near 3m in lp, and 12m market cap...
NFA and DYOR I am just giga bullish on this one, and the flag is forming
✍️ New Project Review
✍️ @opal_dex | $OPAL
I recently spent some time looking into @opal_dex, and I have to say, it’s a project that’s really caught my attention
For anyone hearing about it for the first time, @opal_dex is a privacy first decentralized perpetual futures exchange. It lets you trade with leverage on crypto and even tokenized real world assets like gold, oil, and stocks. So instead of only trading cryptocurrencies, you can also speculate on traditional assets, all from one platform
One thing I really like is that it’s completely non custodial. Your funds stay in your own wallet, so you’re always in control instead of handing them over to a centralized exchange
The project is built on @base, and if you’ve been following the Base ecosystem, you already know it’s home to a lot of strong builders. I think Opal is definitely one of the projects worth watching there
What really makes @opal_dex different is its focus on privacy
On many trading platforms, people can track wallet activity and see things like position sizes or trading behavior. Opal is designed to keep that information private, so your trades stay your business
At the same time, they haven’t ignored security. The platform is backed by audits and cryptographic proofs that anyone can verify, giving users more confidence while they trade
Another feature I found interesting is that you’re not limited to crypto markets. You can also trade tokenized real world assets, which opens up a lot more opportunities for traders who want exposure to different markets
The token also has a pretty interesting utility. If you hold $OPAL, you receive a share of the trading fees generated by the platform. According to the project, 100% of those fees are distributed back to token holders in ETH, which is a nice incentive for longterm holders
It’s also worth mentioning that @opal_dex has attracted support from some well known names in the crypto space, including the co founder of Coinbase, along with several other respected legends. Seeing that level of backing definitely adds to my confidence in what they’re building
And there’s more good news @opal_dex has officially launched Production V1. The first batch of invites is already out, and more users will be invited every week
Overall, I think @opal_dex is building something genuinely interesting. They’re combining privacy, decentralized trading, real world assets, and strong incentives for token holders in one platform. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on how the project grows from here
