TREE NEWS update: Papertrade, a perpetuals exchange built on HyperEVM by traders Jez and Blurr, opens for live trading on Saturday, October 10, after pre-deposits opened yesterday. The platform offers up to 1,000x leverage with no slippage or funding rates, using a shared USDC pool called Martingaler LP as the counterparty, and mints PAPER tokens to traders who lose.
Papertrade Perpetuals Exchange Launches With 1,000x Leverage and Loss Mining
The design is the story: with no slippage or funding and a shared pool as counterparty, Papertrade is effectively a bet against its own LP rather than a matching venue, and rewarding losses with PAPER tokens creates an incentive structure unlike conventional perp DEXs. Extremely high leverage paired with a pooled counterparty concentrates risk in Martingaler LP, so how that pool absorbs one-sided positioning is the open question. Whether loss mining sustains liquidity or simply attracts mercenary flow is worth watching.
