Recently, I noticed that several perpetual trading platforms in the ecosystem have been continuously making efforts, and there has been an increase in collaboration voices among project teams.

Among them, the most impressive was seeing a team work overnight to develop a new front-end solution—this is indeed a significant upgrade to the token claiming process. The improvement of the automatic transfer logic has greatly enhanced the user experience.

In recent times, the key DeFi directions I have been focusing on include: one is a player continuously refining product strength in the Perp track, another is a team committed to innovation and iterative development, and there are also projects deepening technical aspects in the variation direction. These focused protocols are attracting more and more attention, indicating that the market's demand for differentiated DEXs indeed exists.

It feels like the competition in the Web3 ecosystem has shifted from purely fundraising numbers to a more solid product level—who can make infrastructure more user-friendly will more easily gain user trust.

Pulled an all-nighter to finalize the front-end solution; this guy really invested heavily. DEX has expanded to the infrastructure level, and fundraising numbers are already outdated. Product strength is the real hard currency; everything else is虚的. Perpetuals have indeed gained momentum, but it still depends on who can survive until the end.

Finish the frontend overnight? That's the right thing to do, not bragging about fundraising numbers every day. With such severe DEX homogeneity, only those who focus on product details will survive in the end. When infrastructure is well-built, users will come naturally without excessive marketing.

Finish the front-end solution overnight? Now that's real dedication, way more interesting than just burning money on fundraising. Product strength is the key, finally someone clarifies it. These Perp players are indeed working hard to refine their products, with user experience front and center. Web3 should be like this; the product speaks, everything else is secondary. I'm optimistic about the few projects that坚持迭代 (坚持迭代 means坚持不断地改进 and iterate), this is the long-term way to survive. Differentiated DEXs are becoming more competitive, indicating that the track is truly mature. Infrastructure convenience is more important than anything else; I just worry about using it being frustrating.

Damn, working overnight to update the frontend must be really competitive, but I have to say that user experience is indeed a differentiating breakthrough. With so many players crowding the perpetual market, ultimately it still comes down to the product... No matter how impressive the fundraising numbers are, they are meaningless. This round shows that the ecosystem is starting to become rational; infrastructure is the key.

lol everyone hyping perps now but half these "innovations" are just UI copypaste with different color schemes... the real accumulation happens when paper hands think infrastructure matters more than tokenomics, ngl
