What if a perpetual DEX flipped the fee structure upside down? Think about it differently:

When you're idle—no open positions on your account—you'd pay a modest hourly fee. Nothing crazy, just a small tick to keep liquidity providers compensated during downtime.

But the moment you enter a trade? Zero fees. Trade as much as you want while your position is live, and let the spreads and liquidations naturally sustain the protocol.

This could shift incentives: traders wouldn't get punished for holding, and active market participants wouldn't bleed through cumulative fees. A fresh take on DEX economics worth exploring.
