Perp DEX Primer — perpetual-futures mechanics
The conceptual layer the DIY Perp track silently assumes — perp mechanics in four lessons. No code, no openhl reference: spot/futures/perp distinction, funding as the anchoring mechanism, margin model with four states, three-tier safety net.

How this course works
This is a hands-on course, not a feed of articles. The lessons build on each other in order, so what you learn from the source carries over to real code.
