Honestly just venting at this point. perps aren’t hard, routing is.
* Every DEX looks liquid until you actually hit size. Slippage, latency, and fills are wildly different
* Aggregators don’t really aggregate they just move the problem behind a cleaner UI
* If you trade size or speed, you’re basically forced to hard-code venues and pray volatility doesn’t flip the math
* Feels like traders eat the execution risk while platforms just collect fees
I came across this post talking about tide that said it
* Routes based on execution quality, not just the best price on paper
* Lets you trade across multiple perp DEXs without manually choosing where to send orders.
* you will get protocal-native rewards and tide rewards
should I try this and give my feedback to the community?
