30 minutes

Gautham Santhosh is the CoFounder of Polynomial Protocol.

In this episode, we review a rising contender in the DeFi perps trading sector--Polynomial Protocol. This spring, Polynomial launched its decentralized perps exchange on Optimism using Synthetix as its source of liquidity.

Since then, Polynomial has seen enormous growth to become one of the top Synthetix perps trading frontends with a total trading volume of $3.9B as of today. In this Quick Hit, we’ll dig into what’s attracting so much trading activity to Polynomial and how they plan to sustain their parabolic growth.
