3.What are the fees for trading perpetuals on decentralized exchanges?
Perpetual DEX fees vary by protocol. Maker fees range from -0.02% (rebates) to +0.05%, while taker fees typically range from 0.02% to 0.10%. Some protocols like Hyperliquid offer maker rebates, while others like GMX use a tiered fee structure. Check the Extended Metrics view for detailed fee information per protocol.
4.What is the difference between CEX and DEX perpetual futures?
DEX perpetuals are non-custodial (you control your funds), settled on-chain, and often offer unique features like no KYC and permissionless access. CEX perps typically have higher liquidity, more trading pairs, and faster execution, but require trusting the exchange with your funds. DEX perps have grown significantly, with leading platforms now matching CEX volumes on major pairs.
5.How does open interest on perp DEXs affect crypto prices?
Open interest represents the total value of outstanding derivative contracts. High OI indicates strong trader conviction and can amplify price movements in either direction. Rising OI with rising prices suggests new longs entering (bullish), while rising OI with falling prices suggests new shorts (bearish). Sudden OI drops often indicate liquidation cascades.
6.Which perpetual DEX has the most trading pairs?
Hyperliquid and dYdX v4 offer the widest selection of perpetual trading pairs, with 50+ markets each including major cryptocurrencies, altcoins, and even some meme tokens. GMX focuses on high-liquidity blue-chip pairs. Check individual protocol pages for complete pair listings and liquidity depth.
