Perennial Labs

Perennial is an on-chain (EVM) perpetual-derivatives protocol — a composable, fully on-chain primitive for permissionless perpetual markets, liquidity provisioning (LPs up to 50x), vaults, collateral accounts, and intent-based order flow with off-chain solvers. Built by Equilibria and backed by Polychain, its developer surface is Solidity smart contracts (MultiInvoker batching) plus first-party TypeScript and Python SDKs and a subgraph, rather than a hosted REST API. The v2 protocol has been audited by Zellic and Sherlock and runs an Immunefi bug-bounty program (up to $500k). The hosted application (perennial.finance) has since been sunset, but the protocol contracts, documentation, and SDKs remain published.

Perennial Labs is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Defi Derivatives, DeFi, Perpetuals, and Derivatives.

Perennial Labs’ developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, and 9 more developer resources.
