If my mum lands on your perps platform and is immediately lost there's your friction. I'm saying this because there's a 99.9% chance that most others landing on perp terminals via solana right now are just as bemused as she would be. If you want to attract experienced traders. Offer them some sort of convenience that their current platform doesn't have. Everyone in the middle will benefit from the two opposite ends of the spectrum. As said previously, gud tech makes sense and is obviously helpful, however its all pointless if the simple stuff isn't addressed first. Need to pump the brakes and stop asking the majority to run before they've learnt how to walk. You're wasting all of this time marketing/onboarding when new users are immediately lost via friction at the door or they get destroyed and leave in the first week. Something to think about
