No VPN, No KYC

True Permissionless Trading

In both traditional finance and many so-called decentralized platforms, access is often restricted through mandatory KYC procedures, geographic limitations, and reliance on VPNs. These measures create unnecessary friction and restrict global participation in financial markets.

VDEX eliminates these barriers.

There is no KYC, no VPN requirement, and no collection of personal data. This applies even for users based in the United States. Trading on VDEX only requires a Web3 wallet connection. Nothing more.

Some may ask whether this raises legal concerns. Consider MetaMask. It operates without requiring a VPN because it is self-custodial and cannot access or control user funds. VDEX follows the same principle.

As a fully self-custodial platform that never holds user assets, VDEX is not subject to the same compliance obligations as custodial services. This enables open, borderless access to perpetual trading for users worldwide, in alignment with the foundational principles of decentralized finance: transparency, freedom, and censorship resistance.
