Ellipsis Labs introduces the phoenix perpetuals on Solana and makes it the next step in crankless and high-performance derivatives trading on the blockchain. Solana emphasizes that this release has been a significant upgrade to its ecosystem due to its introduction of a perpetual futures exchange that is fully on-chain, orders with significant low latency, and is maintained by deep liquidity on day one. It further supports that Solana is making technological advances in DeFi, just when efficiency and reliability have emerged as the fundamental competitive advantages of any L1 blockchain that can host financial applications.
Real-Time Performance and Execution Spotlight
The demo video demonstrates the capacity of the platform to be able to take on trades up to $8 million and have less than 1 bps of price impact, demonstrating the power of the underlying liquidity model. This moment, Solana takes the opportunity to highlight its gasless implementation, immediate signing with the help of QR wallet authentications, and the lack of cranks that once restricted the throughput of on-chain engines. With these features, traders are able to place and update orders in almost real time and they experience little slippage even when conducting large trades. This change highlights the value that Solana places on providing trading experiences with the responsiveness of real-time in a security-rich environment of fully on-chain settlement.
Continuing on the Momentum of Phoenix Spot
Ellipsis Labs builds on the same, verifiable crankless orderbook technology as powering Phoenix Spot, which is currently serving over a billion dollars of monthly trading volume. This growth enhances the ecosystem of Solana since it opens up united assets in spot and derivatives markets. It provides a more consistent infrastructure to developers to create more sophisticated financial products and the traders with a more predictable environment to exercise deep liquidity to achieve tighter spreads and guaranteed execution. The relocation serves to intensify the competition on legacy perps DEXs which use off-chain matching or slow execution paths. Solana now claims to be a chain that can carry the large-sized derivatives flows with a scale to demand. This introduction empowers Solana further into the space occupied by large centralized exchanges and preconditions the development of DeFi derivatives in the long run.
