Deposit and Withdraw

A Simple Guide

Seamless fund management is essential for smooth trading. VDEX makes deposits and withdrawals fast, efficiently, and fully self-custodial, ensuring that you always have full control over your assets. This section explains how deposits and withdrawals work on VDEX, along with key details you need to know.

Deposits: Adding Funds to Your Trading Account

How Deposits Work

Depositing funds on VDEX is simple. Since VDEX is a self-custodial platform, you retain ownership of your assets at all times. Instead of sending funds to a centralized entity, deposits are locked in smart contracts (escrow) and can only be moved by you.

Supported Collateral

Currently, VDEX allows deposits in BTC and ETH as trading collateral. More asset support may be introduced in future updates.

Steps to Deposit Funds:

1

Connect Your Wallet

Use a supported non-custodial wallet (e.g., MetaMask).

2

Select Deposit

Choose your preferred collateral (BTC or ETH).

3

Confirm the Transaction

Sign the deposit transaction.

4

Start Trading

Once confirmed, your funds are available for margin trading instantly.

Key Benefits of Depositing on VDEX:

✅ No Custodians – You always control your funds. ✅ Instant Availability – Deposits are finalized immediately. ✅ Cross-Chain Flexibility – Trade perps without needing to bridge assets across chains.

Withdrawals: Retrieving Your Funds Securely

How Withdrawals Work:

On VDEX, withdrawals are self-executed and fraud-proof, ensuring that you can always access your funds when needed. There are no centralized approvals, meaning no risk of withdrawal restrictions or delays.

However, during beta testing, withdrawals are subject to a 24-hour withdrawal delay for added security.

Steps to Withdraw Funds:

1

Go to Withdraw Section

Access the withdrawal page from your account dashboard.

2

Select the Asset & Amount

Choose how much BTC or ETH you want to withdraw.

3

Confirm & Sign Transaction

Approve the withdrawal request in your wallet.

4

Receive Funds

Once processed, your funds are sent directly back to your wallet.

Key Benefits of Withdrawing on VDEX:

✅ Self-Custodial – No third party controls your assets. ✅ Trustless Execution – Withdraw anytime, directly from smart contracts. ✅ ZeroGas Withdrawals – No excessive gas fees when moving funds.

Important Notes on Deposits & Withdrawals

  • Minimum Deposit/Withdrawal Limits – Some minimum limits may apply for efficiency and security.

  • Withdrawal Delays (Closed Beta Phase) – Currently, all withdrawals have a 24-hour processing period for security reasons, but this will be removed post-beta.

  • Trading with Collateral – Deposited assets serve as a margin for trading perps. Withdrawals may be restricted if funds are tied to open positions.

Final Thoughts: Self-Custody Means Full Control

Deposits and withdrawals on VDEX are designed for security, speed, and user control. Unlike centralized exchanges, you never give up custody of your funds, and withdrawals are processed without intermediaries.
