Part 3. Project Analysis
Perpetual Protocol
-
Perptual Protocol is a decentralized perpetual trading protocol on Optimism. V1 was launched on xDAI at the end of 2020. V2 Curie was launched on the Optimism mainnet in November, 2021. The protocol aims for perpetual contract transactions.
-
Using the vAMM algorithm, users deposit collateral into the vault. When a user opens a position or provides liquidity, the free collateral is converted into vtoken, and the vtoken is converted into free collateral when the position is closed.
-
Users can provide liquidity within a range like Uni V3. Unlike CEX which settles funding fees at fixed intervals, users pay funding fees after positions are closed in Perpetual.
