Full Self-Custody

Stay in control. Stay secure.

On traditional platforms, users surrender custody of their funds to centralized intermediaries, creating unnecessary risk. VDEX removes this risk by ensuring traders maintain full control of their assets at all times.

• Smart Contract Escrow Funds are secured in self-custodial smart contracts. Only the user can initiate or approve transfers.

• Zero-Knowledge State Channels Trades are executed privately and efficiently, with every action backed by cryptographic proof and verifiable settlement paths.

• Disaster-Proof Architecture Even if the VDEX network becomes unavailable, users can unilaterally withdraw their funds using provable cryptographic commitments.

How It Works

Users deposit funds into smart contracts on the Settlement Layer. ZK State Channels allow users to retain custody while trading P2P. At any point, users can finalize their state and withdraw funds directly from the blockchain.

Why It Matters:

Self-custody prevents exchange hacks, fund freezes, and third-party mismanagement giving traders true ownership of their assets.
