Trader degentrading published an analysis noting that Papertrade (@papertrade_xyz) released an explanation regarding the transferability of the PAPER token. The statement indicates that Papertrade is a relatively complex primitive with higher risk management complexity, and the PAPER token is more deeply integrated into the protocol's economic model compared to tokens of most other protocols. The analyst pointed out that, relative to the previous supply model, newer users and miners will obtain a relatively larger share, diminishing the advantage of early mining participants. He believes this adjustment negatively impacts early participants but benefits the protocol's long-term development and organic users.
Machi Big Brother (@machibigbrother) stated that Papertrade (@papertrade_xyz) recently issued an update regarding the transferability of the PAPER token, noting that Papertrade is a complex underlying primitive with significant risk management challenges, and the PAPER token is far more tightly integrated into the protocol's economic model than most protocol tokens. Machi pointed out that the PAPER token will remain non-transferable for the foreseeable future; holders can currently only generate investment returns via protocol fees, though their share will be diluted. Furthermore, as the project allocates no tokens to the team, factors such as token value, dilution, and exit liquidity affect holders more than the team. Only fee revenue aligns incentives, though Machi noted that "this issue can be resolved."
Odaily reports: According to monitoring by on-chain analyst Ai Yi, @machibigbrother has accumulated a trading volume of $1.56 billion since October 10, with realized losses of $833,000, ranking 10th on the loss leaderboard; the account received an airdrop of 437,000 PAPER tokens (405,000 tokens), yet after offsetting, the account remains down $424,000. @machibigbrother mostly opened ETH long positions on @papetrade_xyz, with leverage ranging from 50x to 1000x, mostly at 100x, and continuously posted multiple tweets praising the platform's model.
Papertrade（@papertrade_xyz）团队 blurr 和 jez 在 X 平台发布的公告，Papertrade 将升级合约，暂无计划开放 PAPER 链下转让。团队称，若代币可转让，外部永续合约市场就可以做空"资金池偿付能力"，操纵攻击的目标额将从资金池规模升至"资金池加做空敞口"。例如，资金池为 1000 万美元时，成本 1500 万美元的攻击原本不可行，但若同时持有 1000 万美元 PAPER 空头，攻击就有利可图。 在费用方面，此前系统采用 0.2bps 的死区费用，新方案分为"交易时段"和"非交易时段"两种模式，仅影响开仓后价格变动在 6bps（0.06%）内（非交易时段为 10bps，即 0.1%）平仓的仓位，超出阈值的交易费用不变。团队称，按上线以来的数据回溯，此举对机器人策略盈利的影响约为对普通交易者的 15 倍，调整后有望放宽未平仓合约（OI）上限。 在代币经济方面，此后每损失 1 美元，将铸造固定比例的 PAPER 供应量，约为每损失 100 万美元铸造 0.1%。破产及临近破产时的铸造机制，将由固定的每 1 美元损失铸造 100 枚，改为随时间增
that, according to Lookonchain monitoring, a certain address traded only on the first day of PaperTrade's launch, with a trading volume of $10.1 billion and a loss of $9.79 million, while obtaining 252 million PAPER tokens. Since then, the address has stopped trading and continued staking PAPER; the rewards obtained have offset the previous losses and generated an additional profit of $1.04 million.
Odaily reports: Papertrade founder Jez posted on X in response to the controversy over the non-transferability of the PAPER token, stating that the team was aware of certain unresolved technical issues before the protocol launched, including potential attack risks posed by the perpetual contract market, but had originally expected more time to find solutions.Jez noted that the team had previously estimated that a large perpetual contract market might take about 6 months to launch, but the relevant market progressed much faster than expected, forcing the team to make a decision before finding an effective solution. To safeguard the protocol's long-term healthy development, PAPER has currently been set to a non-transferable status.He emphasized that PAPER represents users' rights to the protocol's revenue, and its long-term value depends on whether Papertrade itself can continue to attract traders, rather than whether the token can be freely traded. The team is unwilling to restrict the protocol's business growth in order to support PAPER perpetual contract trading.In response to community concerns that the rule change harms the interests of early users, Jez stated that the adjustment was not a hasty decision but a risk management choice made by the team based on actual operating data from the first week since the protocol launched, and that the team will continue to adjust protocol parameters in the future to ensure long-term sustainability.
Ansem posted on X that Papertrade allows users to open and close synthetic 1000x leveraged positions without causing actual market impact. In its first week, the platform distributed over $50 million to PAPER stakers. Its model channels traders' losses to support on-chain liquidity pools, with losses exceeding the pool's size cap distributed to PAPER stakers. Ansem said the model could expand beyond perpetual contracts into speculative games and online entertainment, but whether it can continue attracting users, sustaining liquidity, and achieving long-term growth remains to be validated by market performance.
Odaily reports: Paragon announced on X platform that the Papertrade (PAPER) perpetual contract has launched on the Hyperliquid HIP-3 market, supporting up to 3x leverage.

According to data monitored by on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain (@lookonchain), on the launch day of papertrade (@papertrade_xyz), an on-chain perpetual futures exchange built on Hyperliquid, one trader executed $10.1 billion in trading volume. Although his trades incurred a loss of $979,000, he was awarded 252 million PAPER tokens. He subsequently ceased trading and staked all 252 million PAPER tokens, having already claimed $1.73 million in USDC staking rewards to date. Over the past three days, he has averaged earnings of approximately $220,000 per day. After factoring in his trading losses, his current cumulative profit is approximately $762,000.
Odaily News — Papertrade.xyz, a synthetic perpetual contract DEX built on Hyperliquid HyperEVM, has attracted $118 million in deposits, reaching a total value locked (TVL) of $118 million, with the platform supporting up to 1000x leverage.As of 11:45 AM ET on October 10, data from Papertrade.xyz shows that the platform's 2,349 positions have open interest of approximately $11 billion, but the funds backing these positions amount to only $54 million.The platform does not charge slippage, funding rates, spreads, or traditional notional trading fees. Trades are executed through synthetic swaps between users and a shared protocol liquidity pool. Losing traders receive PAPER tokens, while profitable traders may experience delayed withdrawals when liquidity is insufficient.Papertrade.xyz was founded by Jez and Blurr, who operate under partial anonymity. The project also sold 100 pairs of custom paper pants at $2,000 each, which sold out in approximately 40 minutes, generating $200,000 in sales. (Bitcoin.com News)
Odaily News: Less than 10 minutes after Papertrade went live, its notional trading volume has reached $14.4 billion, with Bitcoin and Ethereum contract open interest at $3 billion and $2.66 billion, respectively. According to the project's mechanism, for every $1 lost by platform users, the protocol will mint a certain amount of PAPER along a curve; when the LP balance is below $2 million, every $1 lost corresponds to 100 PAPER minted, and once the LP balance exceeds $2 million, the minting rate will decrease as the balance increases.
According to the official website, Papertrade, a synthetic perpetual protocol built on HyperEVM, has officially launched. Its pre-deposit phase has closed, with 11,473 addresses depositing $137 million.Papertrade is a fully onchain synthetic perpetual trading platform deployed on HyperEVM. It reads the BBO midpoint price from the Hyperliquid order book, and users trade directly against the protocol's LP as the counterparty rather than through traditional order book matching. It focuses on high leverage, zero slippage, and no funding rates. The native token PAPER has an initial supply of zero, with no pre-mine, team, or VC allocation. The only minting source is user losses or liquidations. In the early stage after launch, PAPER is not freely transferable and is primarily used for staking.
