@avantisfinance
also dropped funding fees following the same logic and enabled loss protection for the non-skewed side:
In margin-based perpetual DEXes, trades are priced using oracles, which means that the “mark” and “index” prices are always the same and powered by LPers.
Our higher risk vault is now at full capacity, but there is some space left in the lower risk vault.
