Equity Perps Done Right

Matteo outlines core design challenges for onchain equity perpetuals: oracle pricing gaps during off-hours and weekends make traditional funding mechanisms economically meaningless. Instead of pretending basis exists, he proposes symmetric weekend fees feeding insurance, matching bands clamped around Friday's close (like regulated equity ATS), synthetic dividend settlement to avoid oracle jumps, and base funding rates around 4% rather than crypto's ~10% to compete with CFDs. The constraint: build honestly about fragility and cap maximum weekend PnL distortion the insurance fund must absorb.
