[Synthetix Launches Perpetual Contract DEX on Ethereum Mainnet] On December 19, the decentralized derivatives protocol Synthetix announced the launch of a perpetual contract DEX on the Ethereum mainnet. It adopts a hybrid CLOB model with on-chain asset custody and off-chain matching to bypass mainnet latency and high gas costs. The first batch supports BTC, ETH, and SOL perpetual contracts, with up to 50x leverage. Plans include introducing multi-collateral margin, RWA support, and incentive programs. The platform's market-making and liquidity are provided by the SLP Vault. Synthetix aims to become the first successful CLOB perp trading platform on the Ethereum mainnet.
