Trading Credits

Trading credits are non-withdrawable margin that allows traders to experience the platform before commiting personal capital.

User accounts with trading credits cannot withdraw balance below the total value of credits received, even if recovered after a drawdown. Realized profits generated from trading credits may be withdrawn like regular funds.

Trading credits on VDEX differ from centralized exchanges. In the event of losses, user equity is deducted before credits. Because VDEX operates without KYC or identity-level controls, this protection is needed to prevent an attacker from creating multiple accounts and extracting risk-free profit.

Because trading credits are primarily issued to onboard new users, they expire after 30 days of inactivity.
