7. Market, Competition & Differentiation
7.1 Market
Crypto trading is maturing fast. Perpetual futures (“perps”) now dominate speculative volume across major exchanges, and DeFi perps are catching up with increasingly deep liquidity and better UX. At the same time, the industry is shifting from manual, discretionary trading toward rules-based, automated execution:
Perps offer 24/7 leveraged exposure but are very hard to trade consistently by hand.
TradingView has become the default environment where retail and semi-pro traders design and test strategies.
Telegram, Discord and X are where signals, ideas and copy-trading communities live.
Despite this, the typical trader’s stack is still fragmented:
Signals or scripts live on TradingView.
Execution happens manually on an exchange.
Alerts, community discussion and “alpha” live in group chats.
Perpbot’s market is the intersection of:
Retail and prosumers who want to automate their own TradingView strategies.
Users who want to follow curated strategies without writing code.
Token communities and protocols who want real, transparent trading systems backing their tokens.
The addressable market includes:
Existing users of perpetual futures on Aster, Hyperliquid and similar venues.
DeFi participants who want to deploy capital into algorithmic strategies while keeping custody.
Communities orbiting the PERP token and other ecosystem tokens that interact with Perpbot.
Perpbot is built to sit directly in this flow: strategy logic on TradingView → alerts → Perpbot → execution on perps exchanges → value cycling back into token ecosystems.
7.2 Competitive Landscape
There are three broad categories of competing solutions today:
Generic copy-trading platforms
Allow users to follow “lead traders” or signal providers.
Usually opaque: users do not see or control the underlying logic.
Often lack proper risk controls and clear auditability.
Basic retail bots (DCA / GRID / simple signal followers)
Provide canned strategies (DCA, grid, simple indicators).
Limited flexibility for complex, multi-condition logic.
Usually not tightly integrated with TradingView as a first-class strategy engine.
DIY Automation (TradingView alerts → custom scripts → custom servers)
Maximum flexibility and control.
High technical barrier: users must handle servers, security, rate limits, precision, and exchange quirks.
Difficult to scale, maintain and audit.
Perpbot differentiates itself along several axes:
Preset Quant Strategies for Non-Technical Users
Users can opt into strategies like Aster X1 Low with a few clicks.
Perpbot handles leverage, quantity sizing, flip logic and execution.
The Perpbot Strategy Account and PERP tokenomics connect protocol value to real trading performance.
TradingView-Native for Advanced Users
Advanced users design strategies on TradingView with PineScript.
Perpbot exposes per-user webhooks, so any strategy that can emit alerts can be automated.
Users keep custody on Aster/Hyperliquid while Perpbot handles execution.
DeFi-Aware and Token-Integrated
The Perpbot Strategy Account is used to buyback and burn $PERP using real PnL.
$PERP taxes help fund the strategy account, creating a feedback loop between token interest, strategy profits and buybacks.
Future on-chain integrations will align protocol incentives even deeper with trading performance.
Security & Governance by Design
Wallet + API key verification, IP whitelisting reminders, and granular competitions are built-in.
Planned DAO governance will bring PERP holders directly into discussions on fee splits, strategy listings and ecosystem direction.
Perpbot’s goal is not just to be “another bot,” but to be the automation and coordination layer between perps venues, TradingView, and token ecosystems.
