📌What is [@rage\_trade](https://twitter.com/rage_trade) in a nutshell?

[@rage\_trade](https://twitter.com/rage_trade) is a ETH perp swap, up to 10x leverage powered by UNI v3;

however, what's most unique about it is that it has 👀huge ambitions. It wants to be:

✅the most Liquid,

✅composable,

✅and the first ETH omnichain perp swap

* * *

4/17

❓How will [@rage\_trade](https://twitter.com/rage_trade) accomplish the above👆

💡Primarily through its features of:

1️⃣Omnichain 'recycled' liquidity

2️⃣80/20 vault LP mechanism

Let's explore each of the above features

* * *

5/17

1️⃣Omnichain 'recycled' liquidity:

One of the major challenges faced by perp and structured products in crypto is the lack of liquidity because of how fragmented liquidity is across many chains and protocols.

* * *

6/17

[@rage\_trade](https://twitter.com/rage_trade) plans to solve the liquidity problems through bridging ETH+USD LP shares from protocols on any chains that are [@LayerZero\_Labs](https://twitter.com/LayerZero_Labs) compatible and then ‘recycle’ & unify them into their 80-20 vaults👇

* * *

7/17

2️⃣80/20vault LP mechanism

The LP shares that come into [@rage\_trade](https://twitter.com/rage_trade) will be divided into:

🔸(At least)80% in Yield Protocol Pool (continues to earn LP💰from external protocols)

🔸(At most) 20% to provide [@rage\_trade](https://twitter.com/rage_trade) perp concentrated liquidity(earns additional Rage fees)

* * *

8/17

The 80/20 vaults will update LP range & rebalance pools daily, and if necessary reset when there’s more than 20% of vault value in Rage perp position in order to manage risks 👇

📌Advantages of Rage's unique design

1️⃣Capital Efficiency with 0 liquidation risks:

Normally for users to generate additional yield for their LP positions, they must borrow against their LP tokens and redeploy borrowed assets; however, this action carries liquidation risks.

* * *

10/17

[@rage\_trade](https://twitter.com/rage_trade) natively accepts LP share tokens as collaterals with 0 liquidation risks.

🚨 Leveraged perp trading still carries liquidation risks🚨

* * *

11/17

💡In the case of the Rage 80/20 [@GMX\_IO](https://twitter.com/GMX_IO) vault LP,

if you deposit [$GLP](https://twitter.com/search?q=%24GLP&src=cashtag_click), you will earn💰yield from both [@GMX\_IO](https://twitter.com/GMX_IO) & [@rage\_trade](https://twitter.com/rage_trade)，and don’t have to worry about liquidations🦾

* * *

12/17

2️⃣Combining ETH+USD liquidity across multiple protocols and chains will create ultra deep liquidity, which benefits traders and also allows for protocols (ie Options protocol products like [@dopex\_io](https://twitter.com/dopex_io)'s Atlantics Straddles)and whales to delta hedge properly using perps.

* * *

13/17

3️⃣The 'Forward Guidance' mechanism will allow Rage's multisig to manually match its funding rates to CEX's rates

💡Imaging any stablecoin protocols, for example [@fraxfinance](https://twitter.com/fraxfinance) and [@UXDProtocol](https://twitter.com/UXDProtocol) being able to open delta neutral positions using Rage's ETH perps

4️⃣Also👀👇

📌More to come🔜

🔸Automated [$GLP](https://twitter.com/search?q=%24GLP&src=cashtag_click) delta neutral LP'ing

🔸Other Recycled LP vaults such as SLP, Uniswap, Curve Tricrypto, etc

🔸Omnichain vaults compatible with protocols like [@CurveFinance](https://twitter.com/CurveFinance)，[@AaveAave](https://twitter.com/AaveAave), [@balancer](https://twitter.com/Balancer) and [@SushiSwap](https://twitter.com/SushiSwap)

* * *

15/17

📌Possible⚠risks

🔸Rage vaults can still underperform b/c of IL. Better for bear🐻 & crab🦀 markets (in [$GLP](https://twitter.com/search?q=%24GLP&src=cashtag_click)'s case)

🔸Arbitrum (where the vaults and [@rage\_trade](https://twitter.com/rage_trade) platform live) down time can affect yield

🔸Smart contract risks because it's a brand new protocol

🔸Omnichain risks
