Growing Perp DEX Ecosystem

At present, the trading volume of Perp DEX represents merely around 1% of the trading volume seen in centralized futures exchanges (CEX). It is believed that as various projects mature, CEX traders will gradually shift toward Perp DEX protocols. This suggests that the Perp DEX Market on Arbitrum has significant room for expansion.
With the implementation of the Ethereum EIP-4844 upgrade, the user experience and cost associated with utilizing a Perp DEX will significantly improve. This enhancement will create a safer and more user-friendly trading environment, ultimately drawing new users into the ecosystem.
Vaultka, positioned as the comprehensive liquidity hub for Perp DEX, holds substantial potential to capture a far larger market share than what is currently reflected in its Token Generation Event (TGE) price.
