The native xDai interface gives you more control and improved reliability
Why trade via xDai?
Trading via Ethereum is no longer supported.
All trades must be made via xDai.
Any positions you opened via Ethereum can now be managed from xDai.
No additional action is needed from you.
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
