  perp.com V1 runs a testnet alongside live. Test vs live is selected purely by
  the API-key prefix; there are no published magic test order values. As of the
  probe date the API host (api.perp.com) does not yet resolve publicly, so the
  Market Maker API is documented but not yet reachable.
environments:
  - name: testnet
    api_key_prefix: perp_test_
  - name: live
    api_key_prefix: perp_live_
    key_format: 'perp_live_<48 hex>'
key_secret:
  format: 32 random bytes (64 hex chars)
  note: API secret is never retransmitted after creation.
notes: >-
  No hosted test cards / fixtures / test clocks are documented (this is an
  on-chain derivatives venue, not a card acquirer). The Dead-Man Switch
  (CONFIGURE_DEAD_MAN_SWITCH) can be exercised in testnet to validate
  auto-cancel-on-disconnect behavior before going live.
