The fundamental problem we are solving is risk of illiquidity. In most perps platforms, you have a situation of longs-vs-shorts. Long positions receive their profits through the losses of shorts and vice-versa. This generally makes sense, but relies on assumptions such as balanced markets. As we have seen historically, especially in extreme market conditions (such as a market meltdown), these assumptions may not hold, and the system may have insufficient liquidity to provide the gains traders are owed.

Another issue we strive to address is market manipulation. With low volume markets and the traditional vAMM/mark price approach to perps, it becomes easy for traders to significantly move the price within the protocol. This can lead to forced liquidations and ease of profit capture.
