Baumz raises $500K to reshape perpetual trading — focusing on fairness, speed, and transparency

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share an interesting update from the DeFi derivatives space. Baumz, a decentralized perpetual trading protocol, has recently closed a $500K angel round to accelerate the launch of its new Baumz Pro platform — an on-chain trading system that aims to combine CEX-level performance with DeFi transparency.

What makes Baumz different:

• Instead of charging fees on every trade, Baumz uses something called the Pop-Net+ Carry model — traders only pay fees if their 24-hour average profit is positive.
• The protocol introduces a Tri-Proof Oracle (TPO) system to prevent false liquidations by verifying data freshness, deviation, and sanity across multiple oracles.
• Supports up to 1024× leverage with a matching engine targeting ≤10 ms latency and 250k TPS.
• Includes RWA perpetuals such as S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, bringing traditional assets into the crypto derivatives ecosystem.

The raise comes at an interesting time: DEXs are quickly closing the gap with centralized exchanges in speed, UI, and execution quality. Baumz seems to be positioning itself as a bridge between both worlds — performance-driven yet non-custodial.

According to the team, the funds will be used to finalize audits, expand trading pairs, and roll out “Season 0” and “Season 1” reward campaigns for early traders.

Baumz Basic is already live on multiple chains (with up to 50× leverage), while Baumz Pro is scheduled for Q1 2026.

Do you think models like “profit-based fees” and “multi-proof oracles” can make DEX perps finally competitive with CEX platforms like Binance Futures or OKX Perps?

Would you trust a DEX with 1024× leverage if it offered transparent on-chain risk management?
