Perennial V1

Description sourced from DeFiLlama's protocol metadata; teams submit their own copy when listing.

Perennial V1 is published as a versioned release inside the Perennial protocol family. Releases inside the same family typically share governance, brand, and large parts of the audit history, but each version can run materially different contract logic — a release labelled v2 or v3 is not just a UI refresh. Newer versions inside a family typically launch with their own audit cycle and parameter set, so do not assume the previous release's safety record carries over without checking the linked audit reports.

Fork lineage and parent-protocol relationships are tracked by DeFiLlama for security and audit-history attribution; a fork inherits the upstream design but not necessarily the upstream audits or governance.

Perennial V1 is a Derivatives protocol where traders open leveraged, perpetual, or option positions priced off oracle feeds and settled in collateral held by the contract. It is deployed across 2 chains, including Arbitrum, Ethereum. The codebase has been independently audited (1 report on file).

Perennial V1 operates on 2 networks (Arbitrum, Ethereum), keeping its surface area narrower than chain-agnostic peers. Price feeds come from a single oracle provider (Chainlink); an outage or manipulation of that feed would propagate into every market the protocol prices. Only one audit report is currently listed; users should weigh that against the protocol's TVL before depositing significant amounts.
