subtitle: Market cap divided by annualized trading fees (trailing 30 days) for every perp DEX with a listed token, alongside FDV, protocol revenue, float and open interest. Lower means the market pays less per dollar of fees. Same convention as the DeFiLlama P/F ranking, updated hourly.

Hyperliquid, Aster and Lighter generate the most absolute fees but carry multi-billion
valuations with a quarter of supply in circulation, so their FDV/F runs far above their P/F.
GMX and Gains are fully circulating with real fee flow and trade at low single-digit
