Decentralised Exchanges (DEXs) & DeFi**
This is the frontier. Step beyond the KYC forms and central order books into the world of peer-to-peer, non-custodial trading. Here, you are the bank, the broker, and the trader. The power and responsibility are entirely yours. This sub-forum is for those who trade not just for profit, but for principle and unparalleled access.
We navigate the cutting edge of Decentralised Finance—from swapping tokens to complex yield strategies—always with a focus on security, efficiency, and the relentless pursuit of alpha.
This is where we move from theory to practice, breaking down how to interact with smart contracts safely and effectively.
* Connecting your wallet (Hardware vs. Hot wallets).
* Understanding and managing **Gas Fees** (Ethereum, L2s, Alt-L1s).
* Setting **Slippage Tolerance** and using limit orders on DEXs.
* The absolute necessity of **contract verification** and scam avoidance.
* **Uniswap (v3/v4), PancakeSwap, etc.**
* Deep dives into concentrated liquidity, fee tiers, and the math behind the pools.
* Analysis of new forks and emerging leaders on various chains.
* **dYdX, GMX, Hyperliquid, Gains Network, and more.**
* Comparing their unique models: order book vs. AMM, oracle reliance, liquidity provisioning.
* Leveraged trading with self-custody: the risks and the rewards.
* **Liquidity Providing (LP):** Calculating Impermanent Loss (IL), evaluating APR vs. risk.
* **Staking:** Native asset staking vs. liquid staking tokens (LSTs like stETH, rETH).
* **Restaking (EigenLayer & Beyond):** The new frontier of securing AVSs and earning additional yield.
* Yield farming, vaults, and other automated strategies.
*"I'm providing ETH/stETH liquidity on Uniswap V3—what's the optimal price range for current volatility?"*
*"GMX V2 vs. dYdX V4: Which perpetuals DEX has a better liquidity model for a 10x long?"*
*"How do I practically restake my stETH with EigenLayer, and what are the slashing risks?"*
