Kwenta’s decision to integrate with Perennial on Arbitrum was rooted in a combination of technical excellence and strategic alignment. Perennial approached Kwenta with a proposal to integrate their perpetual futures offering alongside Kwenta’s existing Synthetix-based markets. The proposal was accepted by community governance based on the technical analysis performed by Kwenta’s Core Contributors. Perennial’s low-lift integration framework, enabled by their SDK, and their initiative to secure trading incentives from the Arbitrum DAO made Perennial an appropriate fit for a first integration. Kwenta recognized the potential in Perennial, seeing them as a significant, yet underappreciated force in DeFi.
