What is Edgex Exchange?

Edgex Exchange is a high-performance, order-book based decentralized exchange (DEX) built as an Ethereum Layer-2 solution to deliver centralized-grade speed without giving up self-custody. It supports spot and perpetual contracts with advanced trading tools designed for capital efficiency and low latency on-chain settlement.

Core strengths

  • Non-custodial trading: users keep custody of funds while trading with an experience similar to a centralized exchange.
  • High throughput & low latency: infrastructure optimized for sub-10ms execution and deep order book liquidity.
  • Perpetuals & leverage: professional features such as cross-margin, sub-accounts and high leverage for experienced traders.
  • Cross-chain liquidity: bridges and protocols that help route liquidity across multiple chains for better fills and tighter spreads.

User experience & safety

EdgeX focuses on familiar trading flows — limit orders, market orders, trailing stops — but settles trades on-chain so positions are transparent and verifiable. The platform leverages Layer-2 rollup technology to reduce gas costs while maintaining proof-based settlement to Ethereum, balancing UX and security.

Who should use Edgex Exchange?

Edgex appeals to active traders who need deep liquidity and low slippage, DeFi natives who want self-custody, and protocol integrators seeking a modular financial stack. Beginners will appreciate the approachable UI and mobile apps, while power users get the advanced order types and sub-accounting they expect.
