There is an interesting phenomenon in the perpDEX arbitrage scene.
Applying that classic saying—"The first time you hear about Bitcoin is usually the best window to accumulate"—it turns into: **"The first time you hear about a new project is often when you can get the cheapest points."**
Why? Because of information asymmetry.
Early participants enjoy the original cost of generation. Whether it's in a certain perpetual DEX or a newly launched ecosystem incentive, the earlier you enter, the lower the cost per point. Later entrants have to either compete with computing power, race against time, or pay higher gas fees—ultimately paying more.
The logic of arbitrage is actually quite simple: seize the window of information asymmetry, and when most people haven't reacted yet, push the costs to the lowest. This isn't speculation; it's an understanding of market rhythm.

Really, information asymmetry is life. If I had known earlier, people in perpDEX would have already won effortlessly.

Information asymmetry is productivity; early movers always earn the most comfortably. This logic has no flaws.

If I had known how ruthless the information gap was, I should have been checking Twitter and TG every day. Now I have to wait in line to buy some crypto.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have waited. Now I'm just taking what's left for others...
