Defx

Defx is redefining decentralized trading through its innovative hybrid CLOB architecture, combining the speed and UX of centralized exchanges with the trustless nature of DeFi. The platform is built on a custom Layer 1 and features native funding and settlement across major blockchains like Arbitrum, Base, Blast, and Solana. Its orderbook is currently supported by an off-chain sequencer, but upcoming developments will bring this functionality on-chain—enhancing transparency while retaining speed.

The current V1 supports Isolated Margin Perpetuals trading with future support for Cross Margin and Multi-Asset Collateral. Unlike AMM-based DEXs, Defx users get access to CEX-grade tools like Market, Limit, Stop Market, Stop Limit, Take Profit orders, and full support for Time in Force (TIF) configurations like GTC, IOC, and FOK. Defx stands out by giving its traders more than execution—they get full control over how, when, and with what margin their trades are placed.

A major innovation is the introduction of Just-in-Time (JIT) Funding, allowing users to keep assets in their wallets until the moment of trade execution. Combined with real-time settlement, self-custodial infrastructure, and cross-chain asset support, this makes Defx not only fast and capital-efficient, but also secure. The platform has already deployed sUSDe collateral support—letting traders earn 5% APY on their staked assets while using them as trading collateral.

Defx is part of a new generation of DEXs competing with platforms like dYdX, Perpetual Protocol, and Vertex Protocol, offering professional tools without compromising on decentralization. But Defx differentiates itself by offering a plug-and-play CLOB infrastructure for other DEXs to build on—effectively becoming the "middleware layer" for the decentralized trading ecosystem.

Defx delivers a suite of powerful features that combine the performance of CEXs with the security of DeFi:

• True CLOB Experience: Built for traders, Defx uses a high-performance central limit order book—supporting advanced order types and fair matching.
• Self-Custody: Your assets stay in your wallet until execution. Just-in-Time (JIT) Funding gives you complete control and minimizes smart contract risk.
• Multi-Asset Collateral: Trade with sUSDe, wETH, wBTC, USDT, USDC, and more—across Arbitrum, Solana, and Ethereum—without converting to USDC first.
• Yield-Bearing Collateral: Use staked assets like sUSDe as collateral and continue earning ~5% APY while trading.
• Advanced Order Types: Supports Market, Limit, Stop-Loss, Take-Profit, Post-Only, Reduce-Only, and TIF settings (GTC, IOC, FOK).
• Pre-Launch Token Markets: Gain early exposure to assets before their official launch—no airdrop required.
• Auto-Deleveraging (ADL): Protects system integrity in high-volatility scenarios by selectively closing risky positions.
• Defx Points Program: Earn points weekly based on trading volume—designed for future rewards and potential token incentives.
