3️⃣Vertex on Mantle

Discover the power of unified orderbook liquidity with the release of Vertex on Mantle.

Vertex Edge is the primary cross-chain product, laying the foundation for an alliance of ecosystems injecting their liquidity into a shared, synchronous orderbook liquidity layer across chains.

The expansion of the Vertex Edge layer to Mantle is the latest instance of Vertex Edge.


Vertex on Mantle -- Powered by Edge

Vertex (Mantle) is a native on-chain deployment of the Vertex smart contracts to the Mantle L2 network.

Vertex (Mantle) utilizes the same architecture as Vertex on the back-end, just accessible via the chain switcher feature on the Vertex app. The primary differences between Vertex (Arbitrum) and Vertex (Mantle) are mostly design modifications.

Under the hood, however, the same blazing-fast performance and hybrid on / off chain model utilized by Vertex on Arbitrum powers Vertex on Mantle.

Vertex on Mantle offers the full product suite of Vertex to Mantle users. Traders on Mantle can now access:

  • Blazing Fast Speeds: Trade with low-latency order matching execution, consistently clocking in at 5 - 15 milliseconds -- competitive with most CEXs.

  • 50+ Perpetual & Spot Markets: Immediately access over 50 spot and perpetual markets with unified cross-margin and embedded money markets for spot borrowing. Leveraged looping strategies are natively baked into the DEX -- all within one interface.

  • Cheap Trading Fees: Capitalize on some of the most competitive DEX trading fees in DeFi.

    • Maker = 0 bps across all markets.

    • Taker = 2 bps across all markets.

  • Earn VRTX & MNT by Trading: Trade on Vertex (Mantle) to earn rewards in VRTX and MNT. The 1 million MNT rewards will be made available to Mantle users in the upcoming weeks -- alongside a new trading competition.

  • Intuitive & Streamlined App: Tap into a simple, feature-rich, and powerful trading interface. A high-octane orderbook, integrated money markets, and an embedded AMM all woven together by a unified cross-margin risk engine.

  • Connect to an HFT-Friendly API & SDK: Plug into a robust API and SDK spanning multiple languages including Typescript, Python, and Rust.

  • Self-Custody & On-Chain Settlement: Preserve DeFi's core primitives of self-custody and on-chain settlement without sacrificing performance.


What is a Vertex Edge Instance?

Any on-chain smart contract deployment of Vertex on an independent base layer (L1 / L2) is a Vertex Edge instance. For example, Vertex (Arbitrum) and Vertex (Mantle) are two of the 3 Edge instances -- the third being Blitz.

A Vertex Edge instance on any base layer contains the following primary properties:

  • The liquidity from the chain supported by Edge (e.g., Vertex on Mantle) is aggregated and unified at the sequencer level with all of the other Vertex Edge instances (Arbitrum, Blast, Mantle) in a synchronous orderbook liquidity layer.

  • The app interface utilizes the same UI kit and back-end as the Vertex app on Arbitrum, but modifies design features and other user-facing elements between Vertex Edge instances on different chains.

  • The shared liquidity is accessible by any base layer (Arbitrum, Blast, Mantle) connected to Edge.

  • Each Vertex instance will display the combined orderbook liquidity of all the connected chains on the app’s trading interface (e.g., the orderbook). For example, Mantle will display the resting liquidity on the orderbook across Arbitrum, Mantle, and Blast (Blitz).
