We built Overlay to trade anything.
Things no other perps DEX would touch.
The vision was right. The timing wasn't.
Here's what we learned, and where Overlay is going next 👇

Most perp exchanges share the same playbook.
Deep liquidity pools. Established order books. High-cap majors only. If your token doesn't fit — you're out ❌
Overlay is built differently.
Markets are priced through oracle feeds, not order books. No liquidity bootstrapping
The summer heat is relentless, so is Overlay 🔥
We’re heating up perp markets for thin-liquidity tokens. No deep liquidity, no market makers: just token, traders, and leverage.
You can already trade $CHZ, $AERO, $PLUME and more.
Overlay: perps for the tokens everyone else left
Why is Overlay the best venue for long-tail tokens?
CEXs mostly list assets with deep liquidity and proven volume. The vast majority of DeFi tokens never get a perps market — no leverage, no price exposure for their communities.
Overlay removes that constraint. Traders trade
Running a token and thinking about launching a perp?
Overlay lists long-tail assets that CEXs won’t touch. If you’ve been wondering where to launch — let’s talk.
