Golden Finance reports that the perpetual contract trading platform Synthetix is returning to the Ethereum mainnet. Its founder stated that after years of network congestion forcing derivatives trading activities to migrate to other networks, Ethereum is now fully capable of supporting high-frequency financial applications.
Synthetix founder Kain Warwick said in an interview on Wednesday, “When perpetual contract DEXs started to emerge, the Ethereum mainnet was too congested, but now we can start over.”
He also added, “It’s somewhat incredible that there has never been a true perpetual contract DEX on the mainnet.” He explained that after the migration of perpetual contract DEXs, the decline in demand combined with Ethereum’s ongoing scalability improvements have made the Layer 1 network of Ethereum viable again.
“This is definitely the best place to run perpetual contract DEXs,” he said.

Against the backdrop of increased macro volatility and cross-market linkages in 2026, Gate has split macro trading into two complementary paths and embedded them into account infrastructure: Gate TradFi (MT5 + CFD) offers a professional entry point closer to traditional rules and cost structures, while Gate Macro Perpetual Contracts settle in USDT and incorporate stocks, metals, indices, forex, and commodities into a unified margin and risk management framework within contract accounts. As of February 11, Gate has launched over 70 macro perpetual contracts covering five major asset classes; at the mechanism level, Price-Hold handles pricing continuity during market closures, and supports parallel long and short positions within the same market, as well as a mix of full and isolated margin positions, and independent leverage settings for isolated longs and shorts in a sub-account mode, thereby enhancing the executability of hedging, position adjustments, and strategy reuse.
