Does Vertex Protocol (VRTX) still have a chance?

Written by: Sleeping in the Rain

Currently, $VRTX is close to half of its ATH and has returned to the price at the opening. However, judging from the data, Vertex is currently the decentralized derivative with the largest market share.exchange(Except dYdX).

The reason that drives Vertex’s market share to continue to expand is because of its transaction mining mechanism. In essence, Vertex has built a flywheel as shown below:

The most important update of Vertex recently is that its v2 version will be released at the end of January or the beginning of February. Therefore, I would like to briefly talk about whether the launch of Vertex v2 contains new opportunities.

What updates will Vertex v2 bring?

• List More assets, such as more long-tail assets

• Exotic Options

• Independent margin

• Gas fee optimization

And, the most important update of Vertex v2: building aBlockchainProducts, differentBlockchainUsers of Vertex can share the same liquidity order book.

Essentially, the focus of the v2 upgrade is that the official hopes to provide more products and expand moreBlockchainWays to expand more real users.

For example, for Vertex, listing more long-tail assets means competing with CEX in terms of asset richness. If we want to discuss liquidity and user threshold & experience, CEX is definitely better in these aspects - and if Vertex can list more long-tail assets that CEX does not have, it will gain more users who need it.

Expand to otherBlockchainIt also hopes to attract more users, and the "shared liquidity order book" can solve the problem of liquidity fragmentation in the multi-chain era. Vertex v2 also solves the problem of users needing to frequently cross chains in the multi-chain era, which also lowers the user threshold.

At the same time, cross-chain deployment also solves the problem of potential cross-chain bridgesSafetySexual issues.

The Vertex v2 update will be released in late January or early February.

Another product update worth mentioning (this update is not included in the v2 update) is that Vertex is about to launch the USDC margin vault, which is the last resort for Vertex to settle Trader profits. Investors can get the following two benefits by locking up $USDC for a minimum of 3 weeks:

• A certain percentage of Trader liquidation assets

• Boost $VRTX Staking Rewards APY

But USDC margin vault investors will also face Trader make moneyrisks of.

In general, as mentioned in the flywheel diagram, Vertex's model is very similar to GameFi - throughTokenIncentives are used to reward Traders, who generate fees.Token质押者获得手续费的真实收入。而 v2 更新则是希望通过扩展Blockchain、降低用户门槛和提升用户体验的形式来吸引更多真实用户的加入，就像如今的 Web3 Gaming 希望通过优质的画面表现或者玩法来吸引真实游戏玩家那样。

More potential users means more transaction fee sharing, and the flywheel built by Vertex will turn better.
