Many platforms in the industry emphasize market-making mechanisms, but very few truly allow ordinary users to participate.

The current situation for contract trading players is often quite contradictory: they want to seize market opportunities but are also concerned about risks. Not trading leaves them restless; once they enter the market, they are easily repeatedly liquidated in the volatility. The root cause of this dilemma is actually quite clear — the technical aspect is no longer the problem; the real issue lies in the platform's mechanism design.

A good market-making mechanism should enable participants to control risk exposure while avoiding being repeatedly broken through by market fluctuations. This requires the platform to carefully design multiple aspects such as liquidity provision, position management, and fee structure. Some of the latest projects are beginning to make breakthroughs in this area, gradually lowering participation barriers while ensuring a good user experience.

Basically, everyone is hyping market-making, but there are very few who truly dare to empower retail investors; it's all just pie-in-the-sky talk.

It's the same old story. Market-making mechanisms have become so familiar that our ears are calloused. How many of them are truly useful?

It's really true. Most platforms' market-making mechanisms are just a facade, with very few that are actually usable. Being harvested every day has long become a habit, haha. I think the key is to have a good risk control design; otherwise, even with a low threshold, it's all pointless.

However, data shows that these "breakthroughs" often don't last more than three months, no matter how good the mechanism is, it can't withstand miners consuming too much. Let's wait a bit longer.

analyzed the mechanics here... most platforms just talk the talk on market-making but the actual implementation? red flags detected fr. they're banking on retail not noticing the fee structures are designed to extract, not educate. DYOR but the liquidation patterns i've seen are way too convenient for them.
