LogX is a perp dex offering deep liquidity and an efficient leveraged trading experience, moving away from traditional reliance on external liquidity providers. It allows trading against a pool of stable assets, with innovative features like a dark oracle for price aggregation and a risk management framework.

The project has secured $6.1 million in funding from notable investors such as Sequoia Capital and Coinbase Ventures, marking its potential within the DeFi ecosystem.
Perpetual Protocol distinguishes itself in the DeFi space by offering unique perpetual futures contracts. The platform's governance, driven by PERP token holders, combines community input with team oversight, encompassing a detailed process from proposal to vote, ensuring democratic decision-making. Financially, Perpetual Protocol has shown strength, raising $1.8 million in August 2020 from notable investors, including Multicoin Capital and Three Arrows Capital, showcasing its market credibility and potential for growth in the DeFi space.
Polynomial Trade is an on-chain derivatives platform with a focus on perpetual futures, enhanced by the security of the Synthetix protocol and the Optimism Network. Its distinctive approach using polynomial functions for price prediction allows traders to make more dynamic market decisions. Although currently without a governance structure or a live token, the potential introduction of a token could benefit the platform by incentivizing user engagement and capturing value. Polynomial has raised two successful funding rounds, raising $1.10 million in a Pre-Seed round and securing further investment in a Seed round, with backing from several notable investors and capital firms.
