I spent the weekend talking to validators, traders, and other people about the priority fee situation on Hyperliquid. What it really exposed is that toxic flow and how you manage it are some of the biggest factors in whether a perp tech works at scale. That’s why I think Fogo, Ambient perps, and TheHUB matter. The goal is to build a better environment before launch, not patch over issues after the fact.


TradFi matching engines have reached a pinnacle. They’ve evolved over decades through trial and error servicing the sharpest low-latency traders in the world. There’s just not much more we’re going to iterate on there. But the total experience is lacking given archaic pre-trade intermediaries for margin and credit, and slow post-trade “T+ Eternity” settlement. A DEX that can equal on execution experience but excel on the pre and post trade benefits of blockchains and tokens, will finally be able to compete. That’s the gap we’re closing.
