Recently followed the trading performance of several mainstream DEXs and wanted to share some actual impressions.

On StandX, the BTC trading pair's depth has indeed increased recently, and compared to Hyperliquid's order book, it now looks much more solid. The slippage control is also very user-friendly, much better than the popular Var platform on the market. The funding rate mechanism not only benefits from market movements but also offers subsidies, which is a pretty interesting design.

I heard that the platform has also opened up liquidity provider scripts, allowing users to participate directly with free points. This is definitely a good option when hedging with other DEX combinations. Additionally, the community mentioned that the difficulty adjustment might be upgraded soon, which could change the participation thresholds.

When discussing with friends, we also talked about how, although StandX looks good in various metrics, choosing a specific exchange still depends on your trading strategy—there's no absolute best choice.

StandX's slippage indeed outperforms Var, and the depth has visibly thickened. The ability to absorb subsidies through funding rates shows some skill. Free points can be used for LP, which is really user-friendly, but the difficulty adjustment might make it less attractive. By the way, choosing an exchange depends on your own trading style; there's no one-size-fits-all solution.

Slippage friendliness can indeed save a lot of fees, but is StandX really that deep now... It still feels like Hyperliquid's approach is more stable. Wait, is the free points LP script you mentioned real or fake? I haven't heard about it. Getting subsidies through funding rates sounds good, but it depends on the holding period. For short-term trading, it might not be cost-effective. What does the difficulty adjustment upgrade mean? Are there new requirements... Honestly, I agree that there is no single optimal choice. It mainly depends on the liquidity of the trading pair and your own risk preferences. No need to overthink it.

I have to give a thumbs up for being slippage-friendly; compared to those scammy platforms, it's really much more user-friendly. However, the difficulty adjustment upgrade depends on how much it is raised... Can small retail investors still play? Funding rate subsidies? Sounds good, but you need to be careful in practice. Wait, can that LP script really get free rewards? How come I've never heard of such a good thing? Honestly, choosing an exchange still requires some exploration; there's no perfect one... each has its own pitfalls. Less slippage is an advantage; if the depth is sufficient, it can indeed save a lot on gas fees. I'm a bit tempted by StandX, but I want to observe a bit more... I've been scared of getting liquidated recently, haha.

Deepening and thickening looks pleasing, but friendly slippage is the real key Free points to grab LP? This trick is quite interesting After difficulty upgrade, the threshold really needs to change, keep a close watch Hyperliquid order book isn't as thick as StandX, vote with your feet Funding rate plus subsidies, this design is brilliant There's no absolute best, so there's no need to overthink it; your trading strategy is the most important Have you used Var? Feels definitely less smooth compared to here Wait, is the liquidity script really free? That doesn't make sense The idea of portfolio hedging is good, but you have to bear the risk yourself For difficulty adjustment, you should ask the community experts for the specifics

StandX's slippage is indeed comfortable, but I haven't tried the free points system yet, it sounds a bit confusing. Can the funding rate be subsidized? Who came up with that? Haha, it's actually quite interesting. The depth has increased quite a bit, so Hyperliquid needs to step up. Portfolio hedging sounds fancy, but will it be too complicated to operate in practice? Difficulty adjustment upgrade... I have to re-explore the thresholds again, so annoying. You really need to try this kind of thing yourself to know if it's good or not; no matter how good others say it is, it's useless. Small slippage is fine, everything else is pretty much the same anyway.

Is slippage this friendly? Why do I feel that Var is actually more stable on certain trading pairs... Wait, can free points be used for LP? There must be some tricks behind this. Difficulty adjustment upgraded, the threshold is higher... Are they going to cut the leeks again? No matter how nicely you put it, it doesn't change the fact that choosing an exchange depends on who offers the highest rebate haha
