Vertex's perpetual pools provide users with the opportunity to take on leveraged LP positions, which can accrue in value through trading fees earned.
The fee traders pay to liquidity providers is the pools' commission. Currently, all FX pairs have a 0.1% trading fee that goes back to the pool.
Unlike spot pools where the total liquidity = actual value deposited, a perpetual pool's total liquidity is the sum value of all leveraged LP positions. Hence, total notional liquidity.
π§ Opening leveraged LP positions provides users with more 'buying power' but also comes with risks, and impacts your account's margin.
