Defx (N/A)

Defx is a decentralized exchange built on a sovereign Layer 1 customized specifically for cross-chain perpetual trading. 

It enables native cross-chain settlement without bridges, supports multi-collateral margining, and offers vault-based liquidity for yield generation, delivering a high-performance, self-custodial trading experience. This is achieved by implementing a fully on-chain central limit order book (CLOB), sub-millisecond execution, and zk-powered privacy to ensure secure, fair, and confidential trading.

The project aims to offer the best trading experience possible using its unique features:

• Defx Liquidity Engine: A delta-neutral on-chain vault that supplies liquidity to Defx’s CLOB, earning sustainable yield from funding fees, trading fees, and liquidations, with upcoming LST integration for composability and full transparency;
   
• Multi-Asset Collateral Mode: Trade USDC-margined perpetuals using tokens from multiple chains as collateral, preserving exposure, boosting capital efficiency, and supporting cross-chain portfolios;
   
• Just-in-Time (JIT) Funding: A security-focused feature that keeps funds in your wallet until the exact moment of trade execution or settlement, reducing contract exposure while returning profits and released margins directly to your wallet for maximum control and safety.

You can get acquainted with the details in the docs.
