Perpetual futures on Base are gaining traction as L2 costs drop. Drift Protocol offers up to 20x leverage with a hybrid orderbook-AMM model. Compared to dYdX, GMX, and Kwenta, Drift achieves better price discovery through its dynamic funding rate mechanism. The DRFT token provides fee sharing and governance over listing new markets.

The funding rate analysis is excellent. Base perps are becoming competitive with centralized exchanges.

Liquidity depth is still the main issue. Need more market makers on Base.

The oracle design for perps is critical. Chainlink vs Pyth makes a huge difference in execution quality.
