LAB: A Trading Ecosystem with Advanced Tools and Customization

If you can’t avoid exposing private data. If you can’t privately run workflows across chains. If you can’t privately manage counterparties, roles, and permissions. You can't have onchain capital markets. Chainlink Confidential Compute is the missing piece.

🔸 𝗢𝗻-𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗽𝘀 𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 $𝟭𝗧 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸 — 𝗗𝗘𝗫 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 October set a record for on-chain perpetual DEX volume (~$1.0 – 1.3T depending on source), nearly double September. Volatility funnels hedging on-chain; incentives and better matching engines keep users there. 🔹 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 • Price discovery is less CEX-only; on-chain depth and OI matter for teams • Keeper/oracle design and liquidation rails can amplify moves • Routing needs to read DEX books, not just centralized venues 🔹 𝗙𝗶𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗶 𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 For listings and liquidity programs, treating DEX perps as “secondary” is a mistake. Cross-venue routing and risk are now bimodal (CEX + DEX). Execution runbooks must include on-chain depth checks and perps basis monitoring.

Locked tokens represent billions in idle value across DeFi. Vesting protects long-term alignment but limits short-term liquidity. Without a secure secondary market, holders resort to OTC trades that carry trust and pricing risks. SecondSwap introduces automated, multi-chain trading for vested tokens, improving transparency, efficiency, and liquidity access for all market participants. From locked to liquid. 🔒 ➡️ 💧

The November 2025 edition of Coin Metrics Movers and Shakers is here - and two standout assets are joining our coverage: - Sky Ecosystem (SKY_SKY): a governance token for the USDS stablecoin protocol, enabling voting on protocol changes and earning staking rewards, with penalties for holders who don’t upgrade from MKR. - Plasma (XPL): a stablecoin-focused smart contract platform offering zero-fee USDT transfers, confidential payments, and XPL for fees and staking. Both are now aligning with Coin Metrics Market Selection and Trusted Volume Frameworks. Curious how they work - and why they matter?

🔸 𝗢𝗻-𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗽𝘀 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 $𝟭𝗧 On-chain perps just hit a fresh milestone: decentralized perp DEXs are pacing ~$1T in October volume, up sharply from September. The Oct 10 volatility spike funneled hedging and deleveraging on-chain, underscoring how price discovery is shifting toward permissionless venues. 🔹 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 • Liquidity is migrating: on-chain perps are narrowing the gap with CEXs, so stress days can originate (and cascade) on-chain. • Record single-day flow (~Oct 10) points to growing reliance on decentralized books where funding mechanics and keeper/oracle design can amplify moves. • For teams, post-TGE plans must now consider on-chain depth, spreads, and liquidation rails—not just centralized listings. 🔹 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 If October closes above $1T, the key test is whether flows persist as volatility cools. W atch funding/basis on DEX perps versus CEX during the next macro shock for signs of structural leadership flipping on risk days.
