Investment Risk

Baseline risk

All crypto-assets are risky, regardless of the type of token you hold. Here are some ‘baseline’ risks to be aware of before deciding to invest.

Investment risk: The performance of most crypto-assets can be highly volatile, with their value dropping as quickly as it can rise. You should be prepared to lose all the money you invest in crypto-assets.

Lack of protections: Crypto-assets are largely unregulated and neither the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) nor the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) will protect you in the event something goes wrong with your crypto-asset investments.

Crypto-assets are complex: It may be difficult to understand the risks associated with a crypto-asset investment. Do your own research and if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket: Putting all your money into a single type of investment is risky. Spreading your money across different investments makes you less dependent on any one to do well. A good rule of thumb is not to invest more than 10% of your money in high-risk investments such as crypto-assets.

Defi tokens

Decentralised Finance (or ‘DeFi’) tokens (e.g. , ) are crypto-assets linked to financial applications and protocols built on decentralised blockchain technology.

Smart contract risk: DeFi relies heavily on smart contracts. Even a minor coding error or oversight can lead to a contract being exploited, potentially resulting in significant losses for DeFi tokens.

Regulatory risk: DeFi operates in a decentralized manner, often without intermediaries or financial crime controls. Regulatory bodies across jurisdictions might introduce new regulations impacting the use, value, or legality of certain DeFi protocols or assets.

For example, the Perpetual Protocol (PERP) and Quickstop (QUICK) protocols may be accessible in jurisdictions where some or all the available activity may need to be regulated now or in the future. If a regulator deemed the activity to be in breach of regulation, this could seriously impact token value.

Rug-pulls / Exit scams: Some DeFi projects might be launched by anonymous or pseudonymous teams, increasing the risk of "rug pulls" where developers abandon the project and withdraw funds, leaving investors with worthless tokens.

Data/oracle risk: DeFi protocols often rely on external data sources or ‘oracles’. Manipulation or inaccuracies in these data sources can lead to unintended financial outcomes within the protocols.

Protocol complexity: The complexity of some DeFi protocols can make it difficult for average users to fully understand the mechanisms and associated risks.

About Perpetual Protocol

PERP is an Ethereum token that powers Perpetual Protocol, a decentralized exchange for perpetual contracts. Using perpetual contracts, users can open leveraged long or short trading positions for a variety of assets.

Perpetual Protocol (PERP) is a decentralized exchange (DEX) that operates on Ethereum and xDai. It enables users to interact with a variety of assets, including BTC, ETH, DOT, SNX, YFI, and others, with up to 10X leverage. The interaction process is non-custodial, meaning users maintain possession of their assets throughout the process. Perpetual Protocol employs a virtual automated market maker (vAMM) to aim for on-chain liquidity with predictable pricing. The platform aims to create a highly accessible decentralized derivatives platform.

Perpetual Protocol operates using a unique vAMM solution, which deviates from the traditional order book model of centralized exchanges. Instead, users interact with a virtual automated market maker, whose initial liquidity is set by the operator. This system aims to provide liquidity and low slippage. For example, if a user interacts with DAI to go long on ETH, the price of ETH would increase, creating an incentive to go short on vETH if the price is out of line with market prices. All interactions on Perpetual Protocol are settled in USDC, and the platform supports gas-free transactions over 500 USDC.

Perpetual Protocol aims to provide a platform for perpetual contracts interaction that is accessible to all users. It seeks to provide liquidity and low slippage, making it a potential option for users. The platform's vAMM model and its construction on xDai allow for on-chain interaction without fees. Additionally, Perpetual Protocol supports gas-free transactions over 500 USDC, enabling users to interact with 0 ETH in their wallets. The PERP token, which is a utility token, incentivizes and facilitates the decentralized governance of the protocol.

Perpetual Protocol was launched by Yenfen Weng and Shao-Kang Lee, two Taiwanese cryptocurrency entrepreneurs. The team is primarily based in Taiwan and has received backing from reputable investors such as Zee Prime Capital, Multiarrows Capital, CMS Holdings, Binance Labs, and Alameda Research. The company successfully raised $1.8M in 2020. The platform has achieved several milestones, including the initiation of staking pools and the implementation of limit and stop-orders. It aims to interact with other chains, introduce leveraged tokens, and initiate dynamic liquidity in its pools.
