The perpetual DEX market this year has been filled with intense competition, with new players constantly entering. Looking at the strategies of various platforms, fee subsidies, liquidity pools, and buyback mechanisms are all being used, and the homogenization phenomenon is becoming more and more obvious. In the end, the real differences are still those key metrics—whether liquidity depth can keep up, whether the supported tokens are sufficiently diverse, and whether the user experience is smooth enough. These seemingly simple factors have become the key to victory. Instead of wasting effort on marketing tricks, platforms should focus on honing these fundamental competitive advantages.

That's right, all those tricks like rebates and airdrops have long been played out. In the end, it's still about real skills.

Damn, it's the same old story—subsidies, buybacks, treasury... Do they really think we're fools? That's right, in the end, it all comes down to liquidity and the number of tokens; everything else is just superficial. Compared to these marketing tricks, I'm more concerned about slippage issues. It's so annoying.

Well said, marketing tricks are indeed outdated now. These days, people focus on real depth and a wide variety of tokens.

Basically, it's all about honing your fundamentals. Platforms that rely solely on subsidies every day, users tend to leave quickly.

In plain terms, it's all about burnout, with everyone playing the same game, and in the end, you still have to rely on fundamentals. Liquidity, currency types, and user experience are the real strengths; everything else is superficial.

Exactly right, a bunch of platforms are daily hyping up subsidies, but in reality, it's still a joke. I would rather trade in places with truly deep liquidity.

To be honest, the gameplay of DEX has become more and more套路 this year, mostly cycling through the same few templates, which is exhausting to watch. In the end, it still comes down to product strength, but most platforms probably still want to take shortcuts.
