If you’ve been navigating the DeFi landscape, you’re probably familiar with the frustrations that come with traditional platforms—slow execution, high fees, fragmented liquidity, and lack of control over your funds. These obstacles make trading inefficient and limit profitability, forcing traders to choose between speed and security.
VDEX is built to eliminate these pain points. By prioritizing speed, self-custody, and seamless market access, it delivers a trading experience that combines the efficiency of centralized platforms with the transparency and security of DeFi. No more delays, excessive costs, or reliance on intermediaries—just pure, unrestricted trading on your terms.
Below are the core features that set VDEX apart:
CORE FEATURES
Omnichain Trading
Trade across multiple blockchains from a single account without needing to bridge assets. Liquidity is unified across networks, meaning better pricing and fewer delays, giving you the best execution wherever the opportunity is.
Full Self-Custody
Your funds are always in your control. Trades are executed without handing over custody to any platform. No more trusting exchanges—your assets remain in your wallet at all times.
ZeroGas Trading
Forget gas fees. Trades are settled through Virtual Rollups, allowing you to execute positions without the constant drain of transaction fees. Every trade keeps more money in your pocket.
Sub-Millisecond Finality + No Slippage
Trades execute in under a millisecond, so the price you see is the price you get. No slippage, no waiting for block confirmations—just instant execution at the price you expect
Sustainable BTC Yield
Deposit BTC and ETH as collateral and earn yield while trading. Instead of sitting idle, your assets work for you, giving you passive growth alongside your trading activity.
No KYC, No VPN Restrictions
Access the platform freely, from anywhere—including the U.S. No personal details, no VPN workarounds.Just trading, the way it should be.
Operational Add-ons
MEV Protection
VDEX prevents Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) attacks like front-running and sandwiching by using off-chain trade settlement and private state channels. This ensures that trades execute at the price you see, without bots exploiting your transactions.
Decentralized Limit Order Book (DLOB)
VDEX uses a decentralized order book system, giving traders full control over their bids and asks without relying on automated market makers. This model offers tighter spreads, better execution, and eliminates hidden fees common in other platforms.
Virtual Rollup Architecture
The Virtual Rollup is the backbone of VDEX, enabling sub-millisecond trade execution by separating fund custody (escrow) from trading state. This architecture lets traders settle off-chain while staying fully self-custodial.
Partial Liquidations
Instead of wiping out entire positions, VDEX gradually reduces exposure when a margin call is triggered. This protects traders from full liquidation and helps preserve their capital during volatile price swings.
Virtual Market Maker (VMM)
The VMM is a liquidity pool managed by the community that steps in to ensure order execution and fund liquidations. It provides stability to the platform while giving liquidity providers a chance to earn yields without impermanent loss
Insurance Fund (VIP)
The Virtual Insurance Pool (VIP) absorbs losses from unsuccessful liquidations and protects users against extreme market conditions. It acts as a backstop to ensure traders can always claim their profits and withdrawals.
Trustless Withdrawals
Users can withdraw funds directly from the settlement layer without relying on platform approval. Even if VDEX is down or compromised, traders can retrieve their assets using their latest trading state proof.
24-Hour Fraud-Proof Window
If there’s ever a dispute, users have a 24-hour window to submit proof of their correct trading state. This prevents malicious activity and guarantees that traders always have a fair opportunity to recover their funds.
BTC & ETH Collateral
Traders can use Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) as collateral to open and manage positions. This allows users to put their most trusted assets to work while gaining access to perpetual markets, without needing to convert into stablecoins or other tokens.
