On-chain perpetual futures trading, where should the focus be?

The essence of funding perpetual futures trading on the chain is simple. Whether to take a short or a long position, and at what price level to enter—ultimately, these two things are all that matter. Everything else depends on how well you execute this core.

Ambient Finance is utilizing Fogo's ultra-low latency infrastructure to create a better execution experience, regardless of directional judgment. The goal is to reduce slippage and increase execution speed, no matter the direction of the trade.

While existing AMM protocols have the advantage of low barriers to entry, there were insufficient aspects from the perspective of actual traders. In particular, the quality gap in order execution during large positions or rapidly changing market conditions was significant.

Basically, it's about slippage and speed; everything else is superficial. Execution capability is the key. Even if the judgment is correct, you still need to be able to execute the trade. Ambient's low-latency setup is indeed impressive, but it still depends on real-market performance. Large traders entering the market really bottleneck, as the existing AMMs can't handle it at all. Whether going long or short, it’s the same; the main thing is not to get wiped out by slippage.

To be honest, low latency is indeed a bottleneck issue; sometimes the profits eaten away by slippage hurt more than correctly predicting the direction.

Controlling slippage is essential before leveraging; otherwise, it's just gambling with liquidation risk. I understand the low latency logic of Ambient, but fast execution does not equal a strong risk control mechanism; this distinction must be made.

In simple terms, it's low latency and slippage that truly determine life and death.
