I just discovered an interesting perpetual contract platform — it actually offers 0% trading fees. I tried it out, and it really works. In the Solana ecosystem, this is truly the first time I've encountered such a model.

Looking at the current market data, it's quite interesting: the tokens $HYPE and $ASTER both have market caps in the tens of billions of dollars, with good liquidity and popularity. If a perpetual contract platform without fee pressure can truly attract traders of these mainstream assets, what kind of effects would that produce?

Could zero fees become the next competitive dimension for DeFi perpetual trading? This idea is worth paying attention to.

SOL1.6%

HYPE-1.57%

ASTER-0.21%

Zero fees sound great, but how do you make money? I always feel like there's some kind of trap to harvest the profits.

Zero fees sound great, but where did the actual trading costs go? Slippage is still that high, right? Wait, can HYPE and ASTER really handle that volume? I feel like this is a liquidity trap. Solana has a new feature again... Will it last more than three months this time? Honestly, perpetual contracts with zero fees are like a free lunch; there's no such thing in this world. Isn't this trick just about burning money to attract users, then quietly adding fees later? I've seen this too many times. The most competitive aspect of contract platforms isn't fees—it's whether they will rug pull, bro. I'd like to try, but I've already been burned on Solana's platform, thanks.

Zero fees? Fine, then where does the money come from? The profit comes from the users themselves. --- Solana is trying new tricks again, but the idea of 0% fees sounds suspicious. Be cautious. --- HYPE and ASTER have such large scales. If they all flood in, will the platform be stable? --- Ultimately, it depends on the underlying business logic. Otherwise, it's just a money-burning game that no one can play. --- Interesting, but let's wait and see if anyone is really making large transactions here. --- The fee war is just like that; the key is how liquidity and slippage are managed. --- Perpetual contract platforms are getting quite aggressive now. 0% fees might just be the appetizer. --- I'll try it out first, but I usually stay cautious with new platforms like this. --- If they can really attract big players, it could be worth watching.
