🔥 Paradex Survives Flash Crash
Paradex faced a major stress test during Oct 10-11 market volatility when extreme price swings triggered mass liquidations. **What Went Wrong:** - Flash crash caused concurrent liquidations overwhelming the GigaLiquidator (GL) - On-chain transaction backlog slowed position unwinding - Chain limits were hit, halting GL trading and busting some trades - Affected users temporarily couldn't open/close positions **Quick Response:** - Activated Cairo Native, doubling throughput within an hour - Settled all Perp Options to reduce GL positions - Temporarily reserved GL PnL pending audit for fairness - Platform returned to normal operation within hours **Resolution:** - **$604,225** credited back to Gigavault depositors - **$160,182** distributed to users affected by incorrect liquidations - TVL cap restored to $60M with deposits re-enabled - Options settlement fees refunded **Key Improvements:** - Optimized chain logic for higher position limits - Enhanced position-limit checks to prevent trade busts - Increased account-resync frequency - Cairo Native permanently enabled for sustained throughput Despite market chaos, **no socialized loss backstops were triggered** and the platform stayed operational throughout.
Paradex Lists $YB Token for Perpetual Trading with Zero Fees
**Paradex has added $YB to its trading platform**, expanding its growing list of available perpetual contracts. The new **$YB-USD-PERP** is now live for trading with **zero fees**, continuing Paradex's recent listing momentum. This marks another addition to Paradex's rapidly expanding token offerings, following recent listings of $BAT, $ATOM, $DASH, and $FORM over the past week. Traders can access the new perpetual contract at [app.paradex.trade](http://app.paradex.trade/trade/YB-USD-PERP).
Paradex Delists Six Perpetual Markets Due to Low Trading Activity
**Six perpetual markets face delisting** on Paradex due to insufficient trading activity. **Markets being removed:** - NIL-USD-PERP - ALCH-USD-PERP - SPK-USD-PERP - SOPH-USD-PERP - MOVE-USD-PERP - HEMI-USD-PERP **Timeline:** - **Reduce-only mode:** October 16, 2025 at 6:00 AM UTC - **Full delisting:** October 16, 2025 at 7:00 AM UTC Any remaining positions will be automatically settled using the 30-minute Spot Price Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP). This continues a pattern of market cleanup, with **15 markets delisted** in recent months due to low activity. Traders should close positions before the deadline to avoid automatic settlement.
