To continue the speed bump experiment, we will be expanding the 100ms speed bump on non-post only orders to all secondary perp markets starting tomorrow, October 7 at 3am UTC. Secondary perp markets are all perp markets listed on the exchange excluding BTC-PERP, ETH-PERP, and SOL-PERP (the primary perp pairs).

As a reminder, the speedbump applies to all non-post only orders. It first went live on Sept 25 on the following PERP markets: DOGE, LTC, AAVE, KAITO, AVAX. The second batch was added on Sept 29 on these PERP markets: SUI, BNB, HYPE, IP, WLFI, PUMP.

We're actively gathering feedback from everyone, so please reach out and share your thoughts if you haven't already.

Confirming the speed bump is now live as of ~10 minutes ago on all secondary PERP markets

We're seeing very high load at the moment. We're looking into it

For everyone's reference - following today's volatility, we did a full evaluation and confirmed that all systems are operating normally. All real-time systems / trading continued working through the market move, and there were no socialized losses incurred or anything of the sort.

Heads up - the tick size for APT_USDC and APT_USDC_PERP will be updated to 0.0001 on October 23 at 11:00 PM UTC. Only new orders will be affected.

The change will be reflected in the symbol endpoint once live:
