The way perpetual contract DEXs work is basically this: you use real money to trade, take a loss on fees, earn platform points, and bet on a future token airdrop.

Looking at it this way, there’s one key point—it’s much more cost-effective to get in early. Just look at the current projects: early-stage points are basically given away for free. Once the hype picks up, the cost skyrockets. So instead of fighting for a spot later, it’s more practical to position yourself early.
