Recently, I've been working on smart contracts on the chain. After trying several protocols, I found that the user experience varies greatly. Some have outrageous slippage, some lack depth, and there aren't many platforms that truly allow people to trade with confidence. Currently, I mostly stick to one platform that has decent liquidity and reasonable fees, at least avoiding inexplicable slippage. Playing with perpetual contracts on-chain definitely has a higher operational threshold compared to CEX, but the sense of control over funds in your own wallet is just different.

Platforms without staking are truly rare; once you find one, you must hold on tightly.

Slippage is indeed a big pitfall. Two weeks ago, I got hit with a spike on a "hot" DEX, which almost broke my mentality. Since then, I’ve committed to one platform, and it really helps avoid a lot of losses.

Slippage is really incredible. I've stepped into that pit before, and later I only trusted that one provider. Stability outweighs everything.

Slippage is something I’ve also suffered from. I tried three different platforms before finding a reliable one, now I stick to just one. --- Managing a wallet yourself is really satisfying, but you have to worry about gas fees yourself. Sometimes I lose so much I want to cry. --- The difference in experience is huge, you’re right. Some protocols are so poorly designed they’re like tofu. --- It’s reassuring to have funds in a wallet, but honestly I think the transaction fees could be lower. --- The needle insertion is really awesome. After a few experiences, I’ve got a shadow of fear. Now I’m hesitant about slippage. --- Sticking with one platform feels comfortable, saves the hassle, but I’m afraid they might have issues someday. --- The threshold for perpetuals is indeed high; beginners often fall into traps when they join. --- Hard to find a conscience platform; most of them are just bloodsuckers.

Inserting pins is really incredible. After trying so many trash pools early on, I don't want to touch them anymore.

Haha, indeed, finding a non-scam DEX is as hard as finding a girlfriend. I directly blacklisted those platforms that insert needles—lessons learned the hard way. Self-custody is really satisfying, although it has a higher threshold, it feels more secure. There are now more options for liquidity, but the waters are also deeper. Sticking to one platform is actually quite smart, reducing trial-and-error costs.
