StandX is a project with quite a bit of potential. Looking closely at their positioning, essentially they are building the "access layer" of a decentralized financial ecosystem.

The most interesting part is the team composition. Many core members come from the futures departments of mainstream centralized exchanges, and some have backgrounds from traditional financial institutions like Goldman Sachs. This is very important — their experience isn't just from experimenting on the chain, but from real work in high-frequency trading, exposure management, and capital turnover in hardcore business environments.

In other words, StandX isn't simply about porting DeFi concepts onto the chain; they bring institutional-level trading logic and risk management tools. This combination is indeed somewhat different.
