The real competition in Perpetual DEX isn't about choosing between speed or decentralization, but whether the system can run robustly under market pressure. Some projects are attempting hybrid solutions: executing order matching off-chain to improve efficiency, while anchoring settlement logic on-chain to ensure finality. By maintaining observability and manageability through invite-only early participation, while introducing AI tools to assist rather than replace traders' risk judgment. This approach prompts us to reconsider DEX design priorities—robustness is often worth optimizing for more than pure performance metrics.
