18th February 2026, Panama City, Republic of Panama
Sai launched Sai Perps today, an on-chain perpetuals trading platform that is as quick and intuitive as the centralized exchanges while maintaining transparency.
Gasless transactions are available on the platform, which reduces friction and maintains full security.
Sai has also announced Let’s Go Saicho – a month long onchain trading contest that will run from February 18, 2026 through March 19, 2020, and award $25,000 worth of prizes. This campaign has two phases to reward performance as well as participation. The first phase is a PNL contest for successful traders.
Matthias Darblade is a contributor to Sai. He said, “Onchain markets should not require traders compromise between speed or self-custody.” Sai Perps was designed to meet the needs of active traders looking for a CEX-like trading experience with all the benefits that onchain technology can offer.
What makes Sai different from other perps?
Sai Perps was built on the principle that trading shouldn’t be as difficult or frustrating as it is with traditional perps. Sai is different from existing perpDEXs in several ways.
- Onchain settlement, CEX-like UX: An accelerated trading experience that is fast, familiar and transparent. Trades are settled onchain to ensure transparency.
- Sai’s infrastructure is designed for smooth, deep markets. The company has placed a high priority on the design of its oracle, liquidity systems and risk management to ensure optimum execution.
- Platform that is accessible to new traders and experienced ones: The platform has been optimized for speed, clarity and ease of use without losing advanced trading capabilities.
- Sai’s expansion plan includes commodities, FX, stocks and Sai Savings, which offers a yield on deposits, as well as cross-chain deposit options.
Let’s Go Saicho : $25,000 Trading Contest (Feb 18, 2026 – Mar 19 2026)
