Zero-knowledge proofs sound impressive, but can they really reduce spreads? Wait, retail investors get free professional paid services? That's an interesting trick. Launching on December 30th? Time to queue up for deposits again. Will it get stuck this time? There are so many perpetual contract protocols, why can Lighter stand out from the crowd? Let's see its actual performance. On-chain verification sounds great, but liquidity is the key. Free strategies sound good, but in the end, it's still about finding other ways to charge fees. The ETH ecosystem has another contract protocol, and the competition is getting fierce.

Another Yonghe is about to go live. The fact that retail investors can participate for free is somewhat interesting, but I wonder how the real experience will be. The Innovation Zone is just the Innovation Zone; anyway, let's try it first and see. Zero-knowledge proofs are hyped up so much; whether they can run stably is another matter. Launching at the end of December, and you're already starting to recharge now? That's a bit rushed. Yonghe is risky; leverage can easily lead to liquidation. Free for retail investors is just a gimmick; the depth of the market is what really matters. The claim of low spreads is pretty vague; let's see how it performs during actual trading. Non-custodial sounds good, but the gas fees on the ETH ecosystem are quite high.

New protocol again, can it really be effective this time? Feels like new ones are launched every month. Free for retail investors? I always feel like there's no such thing as a free lunch... Zero-knowledge proofs + non-custodial sounds good, but how does it work in practice? Trading starts on December 30th, let's wait and see, no rush. Is the new contract trend still just another way to cut the leeks? Has anyone used it? Share your thoughts. Is the low spread truly low or just a marketing gimmick? Perpetual contracts are just gambling, no matter how good the protocol is, the risk remains. Looks like big influencers are about to hype it up again...

Retail investors free? Now this is interesting, finally an protocol that treats us like humans Another zero-knowledge proof perpetual contract. These types of products have been popping up in the past two years, but the low spreads are genuinely solid December 30th? We have to wait that long? Deposits are already open By the way, what’s the current price of the LIT token...

Retail investors get free access? Now it's finally possible, there's an agreement that doesn't exploit small investors. It's another ZK proof, the competition in perpetual contracts is getting more intense. Trading starts on December 30th, the timing is quite tight. The low spread as a selling point is a bit questionable; we'll see the real situation then. Free access is very friendly to small players like us, just worried that professional teams might have some hidden advantages.

Zero-knowledge proof is zero-knowledge proof again... This time, can it really lower the spread or is it just hype? Wait, retail investors get it for free? How does this deal make money? I'm still cautious about the coins on the innovation zone, let's wait until December 30th. Damn, another perpetual contract? How many protocols need to be stacked in this track to be satisfied? Is it just about low spreads? How do you ensure depth?
