In this episode, we’re joined by Hersch and Aurelius from World Markets to break down their vision for a fully onchain exchange. We cover the Atlas risk engine, unified perp, spot, and lending markets, fixed-rate lending, MegaETH infrastructure, ADL limitations, market structure design, and what’s next for the platform.

Thanks for tuning in!
