First of all, we think that Uniswap's great success has not come from providing a better spot trading experience than the current CEX, but from meeting the demand for long-tail asset distribution that the CEX could not meet with a permissionless, extremely low-cost market making. Essentially the success came from tapping into a new unmet market.
Only by applying the features of blockchain technology, to meet the needs that cannot be met by traditional finance is the fundamental solution to break the game. a Pay Little to Win Big risk-free perpetual protocol, is one such derivative protocol that follows the same path as the Uniswap breakout.

Hegic
Heget
Who is the next?
Heget could be one of the possibilit, it has mature product, it has long-term plan&vision, it has a successful community to back by and support, so i am quite optimistic about him. Injevtive did quite well for a while on Binance but it seems disappear now, i would say low chance for him.
Sheild Dao is one of the new start i have been keep my eyes on it. Several features i could mention about: they are first risk-free deravitives based on their algorithm, they have quite clear vision and decent understanding on how the development of their product in the long term. However , i think their community needs grow bigger soon, they shall quickly build their international communities in the bull markets.
Airdrop could be one of the solution.
