The isolated margin feature allows traders to assign collateral to specific trades, reducing the risk associated with collateral exposure across multiple trades.
This change enhances trader options and protocol stability, and allows the listing of over 800 new markets.
The protocol also introduced live price feeds from decentralized exchanges via the “Slinky” oracle and support for Solana-based Raydium Markets, facilitating participation in Solana’s memecoin ecosystem.
v5.0.0 is the first upgrade toward our goal of truly permissionless markets. Over 800+ new markets are listable now with many more to come. https://t.co/lkRCF02YiY
