Perp (Perpetual Protocol) is a decentralized derivatives protocol backed by Multicoin Capital. Its Curie (v2) generation ran on-chain perpetual futures on Optimism via audited smart contracts, a public GraphQL subgraph on The Graph, and an official TypeScript SDK (@perp/sdk-curie). The team has since pivoted to perp.com, a leveraged on-chain prediction-market platform ("perpetual futures for your predictions") offering up to 5x leverage on elections, macro, sports, and cultural outcomes with orderbook-driven, no-expiry positions and funding-rate rebalancing. The perp.com V1 Market Maker API is now documented in detail (a signed WebSocket + REST interface with HMAC-SHA256 auth, bulk order commands, a dead-man switch, private/public WebSocket streams, per-key rate limits, and a full MM_* error registry) though the api.perp.com host is not yet publicly reachable (V1 testnet). The other concrete developer surface is the Curie (v2) GraphQL subgraph, the TypeScript SDK, and the on-chain contract packages published to npm under the @perp scope.
