Played around with session keys for the @base smart wallet over the weekend. 

Recommend checking out the docs in the smart-wallet-persmissions repo which does a good job at explaining each part of the setup.

Seems to  have a similar outcome to the modular accounts of 7579, and also have concepts like separate validation/execution stages that are compatible with 4337. Need to get a working 7579 example first to compare, but at first glance the new smart sessions from rhinestone/biconomy are a more complete solution - but the current smart-wallet-permissions is a v1 so is likely to change.

The correct answer is in undercollateralized lending, the protocol is exposed to cascading liquidations from sell off of assets, and therefore will put the protocol at a risk of bad debt on extreme cases of price movement. On the perp side, a sharp price movement can occur, but at some point the perp's funding payouts become so profitable that liquidators are incentivized to hold the perp instead of reselling on the orderbook. Therefore there's a resistance level for the amount of sharp price movement in a single direction which relieves some exchange health concerns for the perps protocol

don't know who needs to hear it but we have interesting content here à la DeFi re: perps vs undercollateralized composable lending

I want to see if this is known among the defi community or not

eth:btc parity is the biggest prediction market right bow but noone seems to be taking it seriously since a) it ain't on any of the crypto-native prediction markets, b) noone has really affirmed Deribit combo tools are in fact the best Options-based prediction market abattoir.
