Pear Protocol Unleashed: Arbitrum’s Game-Changing Perpetual DEX Revolution

DeFi's next evolution just dropped—and it's running on Arbitrum's blazing-fast infrastructure.

The Perpetual Trading Revolution

Pear Protocol shatters traditional DEX limitations by introducing perpetual contracts to decentralized trading. No more begging centralized exchanges for permission—just pure, unfiltered market access.

Arbitrum's Scaling Advantage

Built on Arbitrum's layer-2 solution, Pear Protocol dodges Ethereum's gas fee nightmares while maintaining full decentralization. Transactions process at lightning speed without compromising security.

Zero to Hero Mechanics

The protocol enables leveraged positions up to 10x while maintaining full collateralization. No more worrying about exchange hacks or withdrawal limits—your assets stay in your control.

Another day, another DEX promising to revolutionize finance—but this one might actually deliver while Wall Street still figures out how to spell 'blockchain.'

TripAdvisor runs a platform that helps travelers find and review hotels. It also owns Viator, which lets users book tours and activities, and TheFork, a restaurant booking service. In 2024, the company held a strategic review but made no major moves after that process. Since Starboard’s investment became public in July, TripAdvisor’s share price has climbed about 17%. However, over the past 12 months, the stock has gained only 0.33%.

What to Watch Next

Jeff Smith is set to speak this week at the 13D Monitor Active Passive Investment Summit in New York. He is expected to discuss TripAdvisor and possibly share more about Starboard’s plans. The event often sets the tone for the year’s activist campaigns, as investors like Smith outline their push for higher returns.

Starboard has a history of winning board seats and steering companies toward stronger performance. This year, it gained influence at BILL Holdings (BILL), Autodesk (ADSK), and Kenvue (KVUE). Given that record, some investors see its involvement with TripAdvisor as a possible spark for fresh momentum.

Even so, TripAdvisor faces clear challenges. Its main site depends heavily on ad revenue, while rivals such as Booking Holdings (BKNG) and Expedia Group (EXPE) remain stronger in travel search and hotel booking. Yet, Viator and TheFork have grown quickly and could offer paths to more value if managed more efficiently or even spun off.

For now, investors are watching for signals from Starboard’s next steps. Any public remarks from Smith may hint at whether the firm will push for board changes, a new strategy, or another review of TripAdvisor’s assets.

Is TRIP a Good Stock to Buy?

On the Street, TripAdvisor divides opinions with a Hold consensus. Out of 17 analysts’ ratings, only three rate it a Buy, while six rate it a Sell. The average TRIP stock price target stands at $17.71, suggesting a 15.68% upside from the current price.
