Why trade via xDai?

All trades on Perpetual Protocol happen on xDai. Trades made via Ethereum are passed to xDai using a transaction relay. This allows you to trade without paying for gas, but it has a few drawbacks:

• No control over gas price and limit

• Not compatible with hardware wallets

• Occasionally has service outages or unexpected issues
