# Why we built 1PERP?

The perpetual futures trading market is **highly fragmented**.\
Each Perp DEX has its own liquidity, accounts, reward system, and UI, forcing users to manage multiple platforms manually — switching interfaces, moving collateral, and duplicating trades.

We identified four major pain points:

1. **Fragmented Market** — Over ten active Perp DEXs require users to switch platforms constantly.
2. **Complex Account Management** — Users can’t monitor all positions or risk in one view.
3. **Points-Driven Economy** — To earn points or airdrops across platforms, users must manually hedge positions.
4. **Low Capital Efficiency** — Margins scattered across exchanges lead to poor utilization.

To solve this, we built **1Perp** —\
a **unified aggregation layer** that allows users to trade across all Perp DEXs seamlessly, without switching or repetitive operations.

With 1Perp, users can:

* Manage all positions and margins from one dashboard.
* Automate cross-DEX trading and hedging.
* Efficiently farm multi-platform points.
* Trade securely through non-custodial smart execution.

Our mission is to become **the first mover and category leader** in Perp DEX aggregation —\
combining usability, efficiency, and automation to redefine on-chain derivatives trading.
