Solana has established dominance across most trading verticals, yet one significant gap remains—the perpetuals market still lacks a dominant native solution on the blockchain. This creates an opportunity for emerging protocols to capture market share.
The ecosystem's strength in spot trading, token swaps, and other derivatives is undeniable, but perpetual futures trading represents an underserved segment. Projects tackling this vertical could unlock substantial liquidity and trading volume within Solana's growing DeFi landscape.
As the network continues to evolve, filling these trading gaps becomes increasingly important for ecosystem maturity. Solutions addressing perpetuals could help Solana maintain its competitive edge against other Layer 1 blockchains while expanding its total addressable market in derivatives trading.
