Big week in the Paradex orbit. @Paradex Eco is basically the fast-twitch feed for the empire livestreams, market takes, builder features while Paradex keeps shipping: bi-weekly 1M TAP points dropped again (part of the 1% $DIME/6-month pool for contributors who actually drive volume), “Council of $DIME” ran live, and $ZK / $ICP perps went up with $0 trading fees. The through-line isn’t hype, it’s structure: retail trades pay no maker/taker on 100+ markets, and the RPI lane (UI-visible, API-hidden; retail-only, post-only) gives makers cleaner flow so they quote tighter and fund the venue with micro-bps not you. Docs are explicit on the Retail Profile (≈350ms submit / 300ms cancel; caps 10/s, 10/min, 100/hr, 1000/day) and on continuous funding that accrues by time-in-position instead of those clunky 8-hour cliffs. My read after years in this: align creators with tokens (TAP), remove tolls for users (ZFP), protect makers from toxic flow (RPI), and you compound depth. ❯ If you’re testing this week: Portfolio → Deposit (LayerSwap/RhinoFi), place a post-only limit in the UI, and watch the crossed sections for RPI price-improvement. ❯ Claim check: zero fees hold for retail UI traders; your real costs are spread + funding so watch effective spread on majors and compare fills vs your usual venue. Be early with Paradex Eco; good work gets surfaced and sometimes rewarded.
