Several perpetual DEX platforms are gearing up for token generation events in Q1. Paradex, Backpack (which operates as a CEX), EdgeX Exchange, GRVT, and BasedOnEx are all on the radar for upcoming launches.
These projects represent different angles on the derivatives trading space. Some focus on pure decentralization, while others blend CEX-style UX with decentralized mechanics. The Q1 timeline puts them in interesting positioning—right when market activity typically picks up.
Obviously, allocation decisions come down to your risk appetite and thesis on each protocol's market fit. Worth digging into their mechanics, team backgrounds, and what problems they're actually solving versus just riding the hype. Which ones resonate with your portfolio strategy?

Q1 This wave of TGE intensive bombing of derivative DEXs... To be honest, I'm more concerned about who has the most aggressive gas fee optimization. I heard that Paradex's mempool monitoring approach is pretty good, but what about EdgeX's flash loan arbitrage opportunities? It all depends on on-chain data.

Q1 is really a big show. These projects all want a share of the pie, but it depends on who can survive until the end.

Q1 airdrop season is here again, but are these projects truly valuable or just another feast for the early birds?
