market making · perp DEX

market making for perp dex.

The quoting + inventory side of perp DEX. two-sided quoting, inventory ladders, regime-switching when the book regime flips. Hedges go cross-venue. Funding gets attributed back to the PnL line that earned it. On-chain perpetual exchange — order book, oracle, liquidation — but specifically, the market making layer of it.

FAQ

quick answers.

Q

What angle do you take on perp DEX?

The quoting + inventory side of perp DEX. Specifically: two-sided quoting, inventory ladders, regime-switching when the book regime flips. Hedges go cross-venue. Funding gets attributed back to the PnL line that earned it.

Q

Who else has built perp DEX like this?

Reference points we look at when scoping: Hyperliquid HLP-style vault structure, dYdX v4 keeper bots, Drift v2 JIT auctions. We don't copy them; they're shapes-of-the-problem.

Q

Why market making (and not the other two services)?

perp DEX touches multiple disciplines. We split the work along service lines so each engagement has a single scope. If you need more than one side, we'll scope a second engagement (or a combined one) — but a single market making pod is usually the right starting shape.

Q
