ok so "decentralized AWS" doesn't actually make sense, but it's a bit hard to see why so here's the nuance: the spirit of the question is "I want to achieve 99.999% uptime". And in particular, negate the risk exposed from yesterday's outage where an entire AWS region can go offline. This could be addressed by deploying fallbacks across either 1) multiple AWS regions or 2) multiple cloud providers. from an engineering perspective, I really struggle to think of any non-financial use case where it makes sense to spend the significant eng effort to deploy and maintain logic on decentralized infra. In conclusion- its hard to see, but in practice it's larp bc you can just deploy fallbacks across more locations.

Previously, I wrote an analysis that Perp Dex would definitely explode within the @solana ecosystem. Now, the Github repository unexpectedly exposed by @aeyakovenko, a framework for a sharded perpetual contract protocol named Percolator, has become the focus of attention: 1) Its architectural innovation roughly involves breaking the order book into multiple shards for parallel processing, including global scheduling and margin management via Router + an independent matching engine via Slab. Additionally, it employs high-frequency trading optimizations and risk control designs, such as a reserve-commit two-phase execution mechanism to prevent MEV attacks. Interestingly, Toly mentioned in the comments that they might introduce a prop AMM competitive experiment mechanism, allowing LPs to customize the matching engine and risk parameters. 2) Unexpectedly, I thought Solana would support its ecosystem's emerging Perp Dexs like @DriftProtocol, @pacifica_fi, and @bulktrade to enter the Perp Dex competition, but it has elevated to a strategic level managed by Solana's official lab. This shows how eager Solana is to continue the Perp Dex craze. 3) The logic behind this is clear; in my view, Perp Dex is a track that can simultaneously accommodate high frequency, high leverage, and large volume. Solana has polished its Alpenglow consensus, Firedancer client, and other performance optimizations for over a year, and it can withstand peak trading volumes during Meme Season. Now is the best time to integrate this infrastructure capability into the Perp Dex scenario. Moreover, the imaginative space for optimizing the validator layer, along with further optimizations on network bandwidth by @doublezero, are all enhancing Solana's performance limits. @jito_sol has already proven that professional optimizations at the validator layer can work. From a technical foundation perspective, it is entirely feasible for a @HyperliquidX level Perp Dex to emerge within the Solana ecosystem. 4) Mentioning this, Toly, @calilyliu, and other core executives must be quite indignant. With Solana's excellent infrastructure, how can projects like @Aster_DEX and @Lighter_xyz, which are still unclear about their own identities, show off excessively? The key issue is that the Perp Dex driven by the exchange camp is facing many problems, such as false trading volume stimulated by airdrops, the unsustainability of trading-as-mining, and the lack of real high-frequency trading demand, which gives Solana a reason to jump out and intercept. 5) With the basic layout in US stock tokenization and the long-term layout in the ICM internet capital market, Solana has the opportunity to provide a truly capable application scenario for Perp DEX infrastructure that can accommodate traditional financial asset trading needs, rather than just staying at the level of trading crypto-native assets. Imagine this: after US stock tokenization, users can directly open leveraged long and short positions on Tesla and Nvidia on Solana, settling with $SOL or stablecoins, and trading fees flowing back into the ecosystem. This narrative of "on-chain Nasdaq" is surely much higher than the ceiling of simply trading perpetual contracts for BTC, SOL, and ETH assets? That's all. Next, let's see how the Perp Dex counterattack on Solana will perform!

Boldly speculating here, if the Perp Dex Summer continues, it will eventually explode within the @solana ecosystem: 1) Solana can perform application-specific optimizations directly at the validator level, allowing dedicated trading engines to run within the validation nodes, achieving sub-second trading experiences close to @HyperliquidX. The Ethereum layer 2 scaling approach is wrapped in layers of technical debt such as L2 centralized sequencers, transaction batching, and finality state dependencies on L1. In contrast, Solana's existing technical architecture advantages are more suitable for nurturing and fermenting Perp Dex; 2) When the trading engine is directly embedded in the validator stack, it can bypass the ordinary transaction pool competition, effectively creating a "VIP channel," sacrificing some decentralization for more extreme trading performance; In fact, the success of @jito_sol has already validated the feasibility of doing dedicated optimizations at the Solana validator level. By providing validators with additional MEV revenue sharing, along with the value capture of the $JTO token, validators are highly willing to participate, with 60% of Solana validators already running the Jito client. In the Perp scenario, replacing MEV fees with transaction fee revenues will be more stable and predictable, providing stronger momentum for validator participation; 3) Solana has a relatively mature DeFi ecosystem and a large developer community and user base. Especially under the MEME craze, Solana has repeatedly validated its advantages in liquidity depth. If both Solana and Hyperliquid are trying to leverage centralized approaches to pry open high-frequency trading application scenarios, the existing ecological foundation gives Solana a greater development ceiling than Hyperliquid, as it has the chain to incubate applications and differentiate based on application-incubated chains. So, for those who missed the last opportunity with Hyperliquid, don’t be anxious or distressed about the risk of FOMOing this wave of @Aster_DEX and @Lighter_xyz; your next opportunity may be quietly brewing at @Solana_zh. As for project recommendations, while @DriftProtocol's architectural approach is a bit outdated, recent funding of $8M for @_bulktrade and projects like @bulletxyz_ from the former Zeta Market are making similar attempts, but more projects will emerge.

Eigen FAQ

EIGEN has a total supply of 1.67 billion.
EIGEN tokens were initially available to users of the EigenLayer protocol who claimed their share of the tokens’ total supply. The tokens weren’t transferable once claimed, meaning any EIGEN held couldn't be brought or sold. You can obtain EIGEN once the token is listed for spot trading on exchanges.
Currently, one Eigen is worth $1.051. For answers and insight into Eigen's price action, you're in the right place. Explore the latest Eigen charts and trade responsibly with OKX.

Dive deeper into Eigen

EIGEN is a universal intersubjective work token within the EigenLayer protocol. It's called an "intersubjective" token because it's designed to address intersubjective faults in a network. These are faults where there's consistent agreement among the majority of network participants that a malicious act has been committed. As a result, EIGEN helps to secure the network by discouraging inconsistent behaviors.

The EigenLayer protocol allows stakers of ETH, the native token of the Ethereum network, to extend the network's security to other applications across the EigenLayer network through a novel concept known as restaking. Here, ETH stakers can restake their tokens to secure other protocols built on EigenLayer, without the need to build a separate validator set.

How does EIGEN work?

Where ETH is used to secure services or protocols, EIGEN helps to address intersubjective faults that deserve a penalty by introducing intersubjective staking. In this situation, stakers who act outside of the network's rules can be penalized through slashing. Slashing sees individuals lose a quantity of their staked ETH. According to the project, through this approach, the EIGEN token allows the token to be forked without forking the Ethereum mainnet consensus.

EIGEN is also used to secure EigenDA, a data availability layer that supports Ethereum rollups.

Price and tokenomics

Season one of stakedrop claims for the EIGEN token opened on May 10, 2024. Here, 6.05% of the token's total supply of 1.67 billion EIGEN were made available to eligible users. Season one phase two of the stakedrop launched in June 2024, and made a further 0.7% of the total token supply available. According to the project, future seasons will see a further 1.5% of the total EIGEN tokens released.

Alongside the 15% of tokens allocated to stakedrops, 15% will go towards community initiatives, with 15% allocated to ecosystem development. A further 29.5% will be allocated to investors, with 25.5% assigned to early contributors.

All tokens allocated to investors and core contributors will remain fully locked up for one year after the date on which the token first becomes transferrable for the community. After this date, the EIGEN tokens allocated to investors and core contributors will be unlocked at a rate of 4% per month. This means EIGEN held by investors and core contributors won’t be fully unlocked until three years after the date the tokens first become transferable for the community.
