A few weeks back I was lucky enough to be brought onboard to the Perpetual Protocol Grants Programme. Me, being an idiot, assumed this was reserved for those who are looking to contribute in a technical way to the protocol… but no, us regular plebs are also invited to...
This is the 4th instalment in a series of articles surrounding the new Perpetual Protocol V2 launch - Curie. Previous articles include: A Complete Guide to Perpetual Protocol V2 A Complete Tutorial to Perpetual Protocol V2 A Complete Guide to Market Making on...
Following a recent flurry of Metamask issues, I reached out to people in the community who might be interested in writing a short piece on some basic security housekeeping when operating in DeFi. Purple Fortress, who offer security assessments for crypto users to...
Hello again! So after releasing A Complete Guide and A Complete Tutorial, covering Perpetual Protocol V2, I did say I would cover standalone articles for market makers and market takers, so here we go with the former. The reason for doing this, as discussed in the...
This article has been recently updated to reflect the recent deployment of Perp V2 on Optimism. I recently released “A Complete Guide to Perpetual Protocol V2” which if you haven’t read already, then what are you playing at? Just kidding, but anyway... I thought it...
