I recently finished a deep conversation about StandX, and what impressed me the most was the team's understanding of the product.

The entire conversation was straightforward, without lengthy background introductions or pleasantries, directly diving into the product logic. A detail mentioned by AG is particularly worth noting — StandX did not treat the yield-bearing stablecoin DUSD and Perps DEX as two separate functions from the start, but designed them as a complete ecosystem.

This approach is quite interesting. Most projects start with a main product and then gradually add peripheral features. But here, they flipped the process — during the design phase, they clearly considered the interaction logic between DUSD and Perp trading — stablecoins carry liquidity, DEX handles trading needs, and the two modules empower each other. This holistic design directly impacts subsequent product iterations and user experience.

Building the product based on actual trading needs rather than first developing a technical solution and then finding application scenarios is still relatively rare in DeFi innovation projects.
