Quotes from the episode:

“We actually kind of have a discussion within the Perpetual Protocol community, that we want to increase it to like 15X or like 20X. But actually the community doesn't want that. They feel that people can just rug.” [00:19:14]

“If you want to do 10X, you have to make sure, so our max leverage is 10X. But we do have a buffer, so the max you can go is like 16X. But once you go over that, we will start liquidating your position. We have partial liquidation, so we will take over one fourth.” [00:23:00]

“I think for V2, we talk about wanting to swap out the x*y=k and then use Uni V3, that's definitely one thing. And then we also want to implement other things like cross margin.” [00:34:03]
