<h2 id="paradex-dex-maintenance-disrupts-trading-activities">Paradex DEX Maintenance Disrupts Trading Activities</h2> 
<p><strong>Starknet ecosystem Perp DEX Paradex has been offline longer than planned due to ongoing maintenance, causing disruption to trading activities.</strong> The platform, developed in collaboration with <a href="https://status.starknet.io">StarkWare and Paradigm</a>, was supposed to resume operations at 05:45 UTC but remains inactive.</p> 
<p><strong>The delay has resulted in heightened funding rates and forced liquidations impacting some users.</strong> As Paradex operates like its own chain based on Starknet's developer stack, issues like these spotlight operational risks. Users have expressed dissatisfaction, urging the team to improve transparency and restore services swiftly.</p>
