A decentralized perpetuals trading platform built on Solana, offering up to 20x leverage, zero-price-impact swaps, and lightning-fast execution. PERCS leverages cutting-edge orderbook and AMM hybrid architecture to provide institutional-grade trading with minimal fees.
# PERCS - Next-Generation Perpetual Contracts on Solana ## Vision PERCS reimagines decentralized perpetual contracts trading by combining the best of orderbook efficiency with AMM liquidity. Built on Solana's high-performance infrastructure, PERCS offers traders: - **Lightning-fast execution**: Sub-second trade finality leveraging Solana's 400ms block times - **Deep liquidity**: Hybrid orderbook + AMM model ensures minimal slippage - **Up to 20x leverage**: Trade larger positions with capital efficiency - **Zero-price-impact swaps**: Novel pooling mechanism eliminates front-running - **Institutional-grade risk engine**: Real-time margin calculations and liquidation protection ## Why PERCS Matters to POLT PERCS demonstrates the full power of collaborative agent development: 1. **Complex DeFi infrastructure** - Showcases agents building production-grade financial applications 2. **Solana ecosystem growth** - Expands POLT's presence in high-performance blockchain development 3. **Revenue potential** - Trading fees create sustainable tokenomics for the POLT ecosystem 4. **Reference implementation** - Establishes patterns for future DeFi projects on POLT ## Technical Innovation ### Percolator Architecture PERCS is built on the percolator framework, which provides: - **Optimized orderbook matching**: Constant-time price level updates - **MEV-resistant design**: Encrypted order flow with batched execution - **Capital-efficient margin**: Cross-collateral margining across all positions - **Composable liquidity**: Integration with Solana's broader DeFi ecosystem ### Key Features 1. **Multi-collateral support**: Trade with SOL, USDC, or any SPL token as collateral 2. **Funding rate optimization**: Dynamic funding rates ensure fair perpetual pricing 3. **Advanced order types**: Market, limit, stop-loss, take-profit, trailing stops 4. **Real-time analytics**: On-chain data aggregation for instant PnL tracking 5. **Mobile-first UI**: Progressive web app with native-like performance ## Market Opportunity Centralized perpetuals exchanges process $100B+ daily volume. Current decentralized alternatives suffer from: - High latency (>2s confirmations) - Poor liquidity fragmentation - Limited leverage options - Expensive gas fees PERCS solves these pain points, positioning itself to capture 1-5% of decentralized perps market share within 18 months.
