BlockBeats news, October 12, according to official website data, Papertrade, a synthetic perpetual protocol based on HyperEVM, has been online for 36 hours since Saturday evening. After the initial surge in popularity at launch, trading has now cooled, with trading volume and open interest declining sharply. The platform's cumulative notional trading volume exceeds $770 billion, TVL is now reported at $62.6 million, a 24-hour drop of 37%; open interest positions are $510 million, a sharp decrease of about 85% from $3.3 billion 24 hours ago; the margin amount corresponding to all existing positions is only $6.4 million, a sharp decrease of about 70% from $20.29 million 24 hours ago.

Papertrade is a fully on-chain synthetic perpetual trading platform deployed on HyperEVM. Prices are read from the BBO midpoint of the Hyperliquid order book. Users directly take the protocol LP as the counterparty rather than going through traditional order book matching. The protocol focuses on high leverage, zero slippage, and no funding rates. The native token PAPER has an initial supply of zero, with no pre-mine, team, or VC allocation. The only minting source is user losses or liquidations; in the initial period after launch, the token cannot be freely transferred and is mainly used for staking.
