Technical approach

As reported
App-specific rollup

Modular execution on Arbitrum

EDGE Chain is an L3 on Arbitrum separating perpetual matching from DeFi logic, ensuring trading isn't disrupted by admin activity.

Orderbook model

True market microstructure

edgeX uses a central limit order book, not an AMM. Traders submit limit and market orders that match against each other, preserving true bid-ask spreads.

Self-custody with leverage

Institutional-grade infrastructure

Users maintain self-custody while protocol manages collateral and liquidation. Leverage available without centralized exchange deposits.
