Yakovenko is quietly developing a new futures DEX on Solana 🧠
The co-founder of Solana uploads the code for the Percolator project to GitHub – a decentralized exchange for perpetual futures. The repo appeared on October 19, and already 8 developers have started copying the code for testing.
What's inside: - Price-time priority matching of orders - JIT penalty system against manipulation - Auto-liquidation based on margin - Kill band price jump protection
The community immediately linked this to the closure of the old Serum ( compromised during the FTX hack ). It seems that Yakovenko is preparing a replacement for the derivatives infrastructure on Solana.
Plus there is also Pacifica — another DEX derivative platform, already in closed beta. The argument there is simple: your money is in your wallet, not on the exchange. This means no one can freeze or block it.
Data: TVL Solana DEX increased by 2.59% in the last 24 hours, trading volume $3.686B. SOL +1.6%.
Diagnosis: decentralized exchanges are slowly but surely putting pressure on centralized ones.
