Odaily Planet Daily reports that Papertrade.xyz, a synthetic perpetuals DEX built on Hyperliquid HyperEVM, has attracted $118 million in deposits, with a total value locked (TVL) of $118 million and support for up to 1000x leverage.
As of 11:45 AM Eastern Time on October 10, data from Papertrade.xyz shows that the platform’s 2,349 open positions had an open interest of approximately $11 billion, but the funds supporting these positions amounted to only $54 million.
The platform does not charge slippage, funding rates, spreads, or traditional notional trading fees; trades are executed through synthetic swaps between users and a shared protocol liquidity pool. Loss-making traders receive PAPER tokens, and profit-making traders may experience delayed profit withdrawals if liquidity is insufficient.
Papertrade.xyz was founded by Jez and Blurr, who operate under a partially anonymous identity. The project sold 100 sets of custom paper pants for $2,000 each, selling out in approximately 40 minutes and generating $200,000 in sales. (Bitcoin.com News)
