In peak DeFi Summer, @kain said something like:
“7-digit yields aren’t crazy. The market loves risk. If you could farm massive yield with leverage daily, people would trade it.”
And after doing $65B+ in notional on @cardinal_labs testnet in 7 days, I think he was right.

One week into the Cardinal testnet competition. ~700 traders have pushed $84B in notional volume through Yield Perps.
Thanks to everyone who's been dialing in their strategies and sending us feedback.
Five days left. First place takes home 10,000 DRV.
For those wondering how we pulled off insane yields without token ponzis or paper-thin promises...
Give this thread a read: 🐦⬛
If you're wondering, "Cardinal, how do you offer up to 5000x leverage to farm 7+ digit APR sustainably?"
The answer is twofold:
1. @DeriveXYZ options under the hood.
2. A perpetual underwriting layer
The yield doesn't suddenly disappear one day; it's here to stay. 🐦⬛

Impressive? What do you think...
@cardinal_labs is bringing yield back to DeFi.
We built Cardinal so you can earn yield on trends while they happen.
Open a long with up to 5000× leverage and earn every second BTC stays above a rising line. No liquidations or expiries.

Fun fact: the number 500 is represented in roman numerals by the letter D. After only 1 week, we've officially reached D traders on Cardinal.
Each day, over 100 existing traders return. Find out why by joining the Cardinal trading competition.

The @arbitrum community is one of the most supportive and professional groups onchain.
I've worked with many chains... it's not close.
With leverage, every second counts.
We knew Yield Perps needed high performance and a cracked community. Arbitrum delivered both: speeds up to 48x faster than mainnet and the most innovative builders in DeFi.
Here’s why we’re building on @arbitrum
📜: blog.cardinal.trading/why-ca…
Farming APR with price unlocks the opposite of what options or perps offer - its absolute dependency on path.
The longer price stays within your predicted range, the more yield you farm. This is a fundamentally new derivative for capturing price behavioural trends.
This is unlike anything you’ve traded before.
Yield Perps let you earn from how markets move over time, with no liquidations and no expiry. Our guide gets you from wallet to first trade on testnet.
