Vertex achieves centralized exchange (CEX)-level performance while preserving the benefits of decentralized on-chain settlement. Trades are processed instantly, minimizing slippage and optimizing execution speed with latency times as low as 5-15 milliseconds. Whether you're a high-frequency trader or a DeFi enthusiast, Vertex Edge delivers unmatched efficiency and control.
Edge simply extends the orderbook layer to multiple chains, moving order matching and settlement from one chain to many – it’s a network of synchronous orderbook exchanges.
Orderbooks provide a neutral exchange venue with transparent pricing and deep liquidity, minimizing slippage and enabling precise execution for trades of all sizes.
Trade smarter with features like leveraged spot positions, multi-account functionality within one wallet, and utilize all your funds – deposits, positions, and PnL – toward your margin.
Vertex also offers isolated margin trading — a highly requested feature that empowers users with a tailored, intuitive way to trade perpetuals alongside our signature cross-margin accounts.
Isolated margin lets you assign a specific amount of margin to an individual perpetual position, isolating it from the rest of your account. Each position stands alone with its own margin, capping losses at the allocated amount.
Isolated margin integrates seamlessly into Vertex’s fluid trading experience – no disruptions, just added control. Manage both cross-margin and isolated margin positions from a single account.
Earn interest natively on deposits, borrow assets against your margin with multiple collateral types, and use assets like wBTC, wETH, and more as collateral for perpetual positions.
Native yield, spot borrowing, and turbo-looping — at your fingertips.
