Vertex Edge has arrived on Avalanche’s high-performance blockchain! Renowned for its speed, scalability, and flexibility, Avalanche ranks among the most cutting-edge blockchains – an ideal fit for Vertex’s lighting-fast orderbook DEX.
The launch of Vertex Edge on Avalanche empowers AVAX users with low-latency orderbook trading with unified cross-chain liquidity spanning 9 chains.
Fast trades, deep liquidity, and a seamless trading experience across spot, perpetuals, and embedded money markets await – all in one place.
Vertex Edge on Avalanche combines the best of centralized exchange (CEX) performance with the transparency and security of on-chain settlement. With this deployment, AVAX users can now tap into a synchronous orderbook network, access unified liquidity across multiple chains, and trade with precision while earning both $AVAX and $VRTX rewards.
Vertex Edge on Avalanche offers a robust suite of features designed to elevate your trading experience. Here’s what AVAX users can expect:
Trade 50+ Spot & Perpetual Markets: Vertex supports over 50 spot and perpetual markets, enabling users to trade with leverage, hedge risks, or amplify price exposure. Vertex offers users both unified cross-margin (e.g., portfolio margin) and isolated margin across its integrated product suite spanning spot, perpetuals, and embedded money markets.
On Avalanche, you can utilize $wAVAX and $USDC as collateral to trade seamlessly, use $wAVAX as collateral to borrow $USDC, or deploy it as margin for perpetual positions.
Blazing Fast Speeds & Cross-Chain Liquidity: Vertex Edge is the backbone of the DEX, delivering synchronized perpetual liquidity across multiple chains within a single orderbook. For AVAX users, this means access to the deepest liquidity and best trade execution with minimal slippage. Put simply, AVAX users can access immediate liquidity for Vertex markets, sourced from every EVM chain plugged into Vertex Edge.
Vertex’s high-performance matching engine processes trades at blazing-fast latency times of 5–15 milliseconds—comparable to top CEXs—while preserving the benefits of decentralized on-chain settlement directly on Avalanche.
Unified Cross-Margin: Vertex users on Avalanche can take advantage of unified cross-margin across spot, perpetuals, and embedded money markets.
As the default margin type on Vertex, this allows for efficient capital management, letting you maximize your positions with a single collateral pool while minimizing liquidation risks across multiple positions.
Isolated Margin: Vertex also offers users isolated margin trading, where each position stands alone with its own margin, capping losses at the allocated amount.
Isolated margin brings precision and flexibility to your trading strategy, allocating margin per position to help shield your broader account from a single position’s price swings and fine-tune your exposure without impacting other positions.
Super Low Fee Trading: Vertex on Avalanche offers very competitive fees to ensure cost-effective trading across all markets:
Taker Fee: Just 0.02%
Maker Fee: Zero
Intuitive Design & UX: Vertex pairs advanced functionality with a user-centric interface. Enjoy features like one-click trading and eliminate repetitive wallet approvals during your trading session. Self-Custody: On Vertex, your keys mean your coins. Trade with confidence knowing that you retain full control over your assets, eliminating the risks associated with centralized exchanges.
Whether you’re a seasoned trader or new to DeFi, Vertex is designed for both power users and beginners to navigate seamlessly.
