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.
How to Deposit
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.
Steps to Deposit Funds:
Use a supported non-custodial EVM wallet (e.g., MetaMask, Rabby).
Select your preferred collateral
Sign the deposit transaction through your wallet.
Once the transaction is confirmed on the Settlement Layer, your funds will be available instantly for margin trading via VDEX.
Key Benefits of Depositing on VDEX
✅ No Custodians — You always retain full control of your funds through self-custody.
✅ Instant Availability — Deposits are finalized instantly and available for trading without delays.
✅ Cross-Chain Flexibility — Trade perpetuals seamlessly without relying on external bridges or wrapped assets.
Withdrawals
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:
Navigate to the withdrawal panel on the VDEX interface.
Select the amount and asset you wish to withdraw.
Sign the withdrawal request using your connected EVM wallet.
Once the 24-hour delay has passed (during beta), finalize the withdrawal by confirming the transaction on-chain.
Funds will be released directly back to your wallet.
Important Notes
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.
