2025 has been a turning point for DEX Perps.

◻️ Our Farming Strategy
Farming DEX Perps can be risky (especially for beginners) and costly in fees.
Our approach to maximizing volume while minimizing losses is simple: a delta-neutral (hedged) strategy + funding rate farming.
◾️ Open a long on one DEX
◾️ Open a short of equal size on another DEX
◾️ Capture funding rates
◾️ Generate volume while staying market-neutral
This lets you farm multiple airdrops at once, without direct exposure to volatility.
Even better, funding rate yields can often cover your fees or make you profitable.
To identify the best opportunities, we recommend using the tool developed by @ilyessghz2, which tracks the most profitable funding rate setups across top DEX Perps.
