The competition in perpetual contract trading is becoming increasingly fierce. Projects want to stand out, and token design must put in real effort. Recently, the Rails project announced a new Tokenomics plan, which looks quite interesting.
They have outlined a framework that uses the $RAILS token to connect the entire ecosystem—user activity, liquidity provision, platform governance—without missing any aspect. This design approach is somewhat like using incentives to integrate various components into a whole, rather than operating independently.
Perpetual contracts are essentially a zero-sum game. How to ensure all participants receive reasonable returns while maintaining sustainable platform development is indeed a technical challenge. The $RAILS tokenomics seems to aim for a balance between incentives and sustainability, at least in its conceptual framework, the approach is quite clear.

Still expecting everyone to be happy in a zero-sum game? That's so ridiculous, haha.

This tokenomics framework does have some substance, but can everyone really be comfortable in a zero-sum game? I'm still a bit skeptical.

This tokenomics design looks quite thoughtful, but as for perpetual contracts... it still depends on how long it can actually last.

tbh the whole "ecosystem alignment" narrative always sounds good on paper until liquidity dries up... seen this movie before during the 2018 crash. $RAILS tokenomics framework feels like another attempt at squaring the circle, ngl

Perpetual contracts are just like that; no matter how loud the talk, in the end, it all depends on whether you can survive.
