Solana founder brews up new perp DEX ‘Percolator’
The plans for the new perpetual DEX come two months after a VanEck report highlighted Hyperliquid’s growth on the expense of Solana and other large chains.
Solana Labs co-founder and CEO Anatoly Yakovenko is the latest crypto founder to announce plans for a decentralized exchange (DEX), following the success of Hyperliquid and Astar.
On Monday, Yakovenko uploaded plans outlining a new sharded perpetual exchange protocol on the Solana blockchain, dubbed Percolator.
A perpetual exchange is a decentralized trading protocol for perpetual futures contracts, which allows traders to speculate on cryptocurrency prices without an expiration date.
