Sub-Millisecond Finality

Speed is critical in trading. Delays in execution can lead to slippage, missed entries, or inefficient exits. VDEX achieves sub-millisecond finality by eliminating blockchain confirmation delays from the trading path.

• Instant Trade Execution: Orders are executed directly between users within milliseconds.

• ZK State Channels: Trades are validated through peer-to-peer (P2P) interactions and enforced cryptographically, without requiring onchain settlement.

• CEX-Level Speed: Execution speeds rival those of centralized exchanges, without sacrificing decentralization or self-custody.

How It Works

Trades are executed between peers through ZK State Channels. Local consensus enables sub-millisecond execution. Final trade states are not submitted to the Settlement Layer but can be enforced via smart contracts in cases of withdrawal or dispute.
