Vertex Protocol is a cutting-edge decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Arbitrum network, designed to deliver a seamless trading experience that combines the speed and usability of centralized exchanges (CEXs) with the security and transparency of decentralized finance (DeFi). Launched in April 2023, Vertex offers spot, perpetual, and money markets, all integrated into one robust platform, making it a go-to choice for traders seeking efficiency and control.

This ensures lightning-fast order matching with latencies as low as 5-15 milliseconds, rivaling top CEXs. Traders benefit from low fees—0% for makers and just 0.02% for takers—along with deep liquidity across multiple blockchains like Arbitrum, Base, and Sei. With Vertex Edge, you get unified cross-chain liquidity, eliminating fragmentation and ensuring optimal trade execution.
