Trade like a pro, keep custody of your funds
edgeX combines an electronic order book with Layer‑2 settlement: place limit/market orders, trade perpetual contracts, and settle on‑chain without giving up your keys.
Market & Limit Orders
Precision execution with advanced order types and visible book depth.
Instant L2 Finality
Most trades finalise on Layer‑2 for low fees and fast withdrawals to L1.
Risk Controls
Configurable margin, stop‑loss, and automated liquidation safeguards.
Audit & Transparency
Smart contracts published; on‑chain settlement enables verifiable trade history.
