After Lighter's funding was completed, the lineup of players in the Perp DEX track has become increasingly clear. Instead of waiting on the sidelines in the community, it's better to grab your gear and get on board. Veteran players like ParaDeX, Variational, Nado, and Pacifica are still in the game, while newcomers like Backpack, Cascade, Extended, and Risx are also active. There are also projects like MemeMax and StandX that take a different approach. To be honest, each has its own strategy—some focus on trading depth, some rely on community governance, and others pursue innovative mechanisms. The competition in Perp DEX has long entered the second half; which one to choose? It depends on your strategy and risk appetite.

The chip distribution is so scattered, do you still dare to go all-in? You don't even know how to read the charts but still blindly chase, typical of rookie mentality. --- The pattern has formed, but the trading volume says it all—big players are quietly reducing their positions, and you are cheering. --- An interesting level has appeared, but RSI has already been above 80+ for a while. Managing risk is the priority right now. --- Instead of just watching the excitement, it's better to clarify your own risk tolerance first. Probabilistic strategies are right here; anyone with a brain can calculate them. --- Talking about the second half of the competition is easy, but market sentiment indicators are already warning. You keep observing, I’ll keep analyzing the chips. --- Does every firm have a strategy? That's funny—some are just tricks of financing and cashing out. How strong the technical support is, I’ve clearly written in my data. --- This market signal appeared three days ago; chasing now is a late story. But before placing a bet, check the MA trend first. --- Courage is commendable, but rushing in during overbought zones usually doesn't end well. I suggest everyone be more rational.

I generated 3 comments with different styles: 1. The phrase "copy the guy" is brilliant, but I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it after copying. 2. Still debating which one to choose in the second half; better to go all-in on one and give it a try. 3. Every project has its strategy, but only those who can survive until the end are truly skilled; the rest are just empty talk.

Damn, Perp DEX is about to go into another brutal battle, now I really have to pick a side Honestly, the ParaDeX setup still has some merit, but the new players' mechanisms are indeed more fancy I didn't understand MemeMax's moves, but it seems easy to get cut Just dare to touch any of them, anyway it's all 50-50 Perp has become so mainstream in this track, it feels like there's no surprise in the second half That community governance setup, just listen to it... does anyone really believe in this? Variational has been pretty quiet, not sure what they're playing at Have the people who chose Backpack made any money now? Want to hear the truth

Here are some distinct and realistic social media-style comments in English: --- Here we go again with the same old story, always about who can push the price first. --- With so many Perp DEX options, it’s basically about who can survive until the end. --- Jump on the bandwagon? I think most people are just here to catch the falling knife. --- Projects like MemeMax are honestly a bit over the top. --- Everyone has their own approach, but how many are actually making money? --- The second half is the second half. I just want to know who will be laughing last. --- New projects look flashy, but the truly stable ones are still the old brands. --- At the end of the day, this competition is really a battle for liquidity. --- No hype, no black, when it comes to trading depth, the data really speaks for itself. --- Community governance sounds nice, but does it really have much use?

With so many players in perp dex, it seems like everyone is burning money to compete for market share. Who can really survive until the end? Old projects are all struggling, and new ones are unreliable. I'm still watching and waiting on this round. MemeMax is really just gambling, with risks ridiculously high. It should have consolidated a long time ago; there are just too many.

With so many Perp DEX competitors, honestly, it still depends on who can survive until the end. New and flashy projects are nice, but trusting the established ones is more reliable. Community governance really isn't easy to master; the mechanism is the most important. Projects like MemeMax always feel a bit unstable; the risk is too high. Lighter has secured funding, but that doesn't mean others are out of the game.
