- + Up to 100x leverage on major crypto pairs including BTC and ETH, among the highest on Starknet
CONS
- − Restricted in the US, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Syria — VPN usage to bypass violates the Terms of Use

- − Starknet L2 has lower adoption than Ethereum L1 or Solana — fewer integrated dApps and wallets
