When you look at the current landscape of onchain trading, most projects are chasing this quarter's trends. But some platforms are thinking bigger.

Orderbook-based trading models paired with based-rollup architecture represent a different approach—one that prioritizes institutional-grade infrastructure. Combining this with collateral solutions from established protocols like Ethena creates a more robust foundation for serious traders.

The real play isn't about dominating today's meta. It's about building the rails that will support onchain trading as it scales and matures. These technical foundations matter more than most realize, especially as the space attracts more institutional capital.

The orderbook system, to put it simply, is an inevitable institutionalization... By the way, is Ethena's collateral really reliable, or is it just another guise for a new round of retail investors being harvested?

Orderbook + based rollup is still a pretty solid combo, but to be honest, it's basically copying the CEX model onto the chain... The real test will be who can survive until the day when institutional influx happens in large numbers.

orderbook + based-rollup hitting different tbh... most people still sleeping on infrastructure while chasing shitcoin pumps. the ethena collateral angle? *chef's kiss* institutional money doesn't care about meta, it cares about execution efficiency and i've been saying this forever

orderbook + based rollup this combination really has some substance, much more reliable than those projects chasing hot trends --- In terms of institutional-grade infrastructure, Ethena's collateral solution is indeed a key piece of the puzzle --- To be honest, infrastructure is always underestimated. Once big institutional funds really come in, you'll understand --- Infrastructure > meme, not many projects truly understand this deeply --- Not everyone can see things five years ahead; most are still炒 this quarter's hot topics
