StandX Project Vault updates every two days. The latest data shows that the vault's SLP amount has decreased by 2U, with the current balance stable at 17,462U. The total points have reached 420,000, and the overall TVL has fallen back to a scale of 32M.
The underlying logic behind capital outflows is worth noting. From the data trend, the decline in vault net value is indeed accompanied by user withdrawal behavior. But there is an interesting mechanism design here—the vault essentially acts as the counterparty in perp trading. In other words, the losses in the vault are precisely the source of profits for traders. This creates a zero-sum game loop: users providing liquidity bear the risk, while active traders benefit from it.
From this perspective, the decline in TVL is not surprising—users who haven't profited from trading are gradually adjusting their positions and reallocating funds. In this process, the sustainability of the vault ultimately depends on trading depth and the user base.

It's the same zero-sum game again, the treasury loses while we traders profit, got it.

The treasury loss is the trader's gain. You can't play this zero-sum game.

The treasury loss is the trader's gain. This zero-sum game, to put it simply, is about gambling on fools. I don't want to be that fool.

In a zero-sum game, liquidity providers are essentially the chopped chives. The data is right here, and the truth behind the TVL decline is that simple.

It sounds like the treasury is just a zero-sum game—trading traders make money, while LPs get cut.

You're cutting leeks again, the vault's loss is our loss
StandX's counterparty design is really ruthless, a guaranteed profit business
TVL is growing so fast, it shows that smart people have already reacted
What the vault's sustainability depends on, is traders continuing to send money
This game has no long-term value, it's just a game of transferring benefits
