One Orderbook. Multiple Chains. Instant Liquidity 👇
1/ At its core, Vertex Edge introduces an innovative shared liquidity layer 🌊
Enabling Vertex's powerful DEX features across multiple blockchains, emphasizing on alignment between EVM chains and the app layer.
To understand the advantages of EDGE, lets dive deeper ⤵️
1/ Introducing Edge - Powered by Vertex ✨
Edge, is a game-changing Synchronous Orderbook Liquidity layer that unifies cross-chain liquidity in DeFi.
It’s time to unlock a multi-chain future where liquidity among chains is no longer fragmented...
🧵⤵️
2/ Edge enables cross-chain order matching between Vertex & Blitz with a unified orderbook.
With Edge, both maker & taker orders can originate from Vertex or Blitz. Cross-chain or same-chain order matches via Edge are determined by the best available liquidity on either venue.
12/ The data above simply illustrates the impact of synchronous orderbook liquidity between two Edge instances…but more chains are on the way, anon 😉

Cross-chain orderbook liquidity is the future 🔮
1/ Edge - the solution to liquidity fragmentation.
The problem? Traditional multichain protocols are forced to find new liquidity for each deployment - resulting in liquidity split across chains, and not capitalized to its full potential.
Edge is designed to solve this ⤵️
The liquidity evolution is coming.

Start trading to tap into Edge's synchronised liquidity.
10/ The trend is notable because it highlights a key advantage of the synchronous orderbook design – maker liquidity on Vertex was immediately available for new Blitz users to trade against upon launch.
3/ Conceptually, Edge functions like a virtual market maker between DEXs on different chains.
Matching inbound orders from one chain with the combined orderbook liquidity of all of the base layers plugged into the Vertex sequencer.
1/ Unleashing market efficiency beyond one chain ⛓️
Edge isn't limited to cross-chain liquidity—it's a catalyst for hyper-market efficiency & capital-efficient trading across ecosystems.
Read on to learn how perp markets can thrive cross-chain with Edge 👇
2/ Edge is primarily a major upgrade to the Vertex sequencer, amplifying its capabilities, extending them cross-chain to any supported base layer ecosystem.
4/ Think, Omni-Liquidity Hub for Crypto…
Which allows users to trade against unified cross-chain liquidity on a single DEX without having to move from Chain A to Chain B.
Say goodbye to siloed liquidity.
4/ Blitz – Maker Liquidity
A significant portion of taker orders on Blitz are matched with maker liquidity from Vertex through Edge. In aggregate, ~62% of Blitz’s total trading volume since launch utilized Edge to access Vertex liquidity!
8/ The Edge Triangle
Edge unlocks unique features through its impact on Vertex’s core products tied together with unified cross-margin, including:
1. Spot Markets
2. Perpetual Markets
3. Money Market
5/ Edge is laying the foundation for an alliance of ecosystems injecting their liquidity into a shared, synchronous orderbook liquidity layer across chains.
The expansion of networks plugged into Vertex Edge begin with the first cross-chain (Blast) Vertex Edge instance
Thrilled to announce that Vertex is coming to Bitcoin!
We’re partnering with

11/ Edge’s ability to match new taker flow from Blitz with maker liquidity on Vertex eased the challenge of bootstrapping orderbook liquidity.
Blitz gradually accumulated its own maker liquidity, reducing its reliance on Edge for matching taker orders with Vertex maker
8/ Volume Distribution – Price Delta %
Vertex & Edge maintain similar volume distributions around the 0% price delta, ensuring better trade execution & slippage – meaning Edge effectively routes perp liquidity between chains without disrupting matching efficiency or market
5/ Vertex – Maker Liquidity
Most maker activity on Vertex occurs without Edge, indicating higher same-chain order matching. This is mainly due to Vertex's existing liquidity base, rendering cross-chain order matches with Blitz less frequent.
9/ Spot Trading – Cross-Chain Native Assets:
Edge gives users the ability to trade native spot assets between chains without the direct requirement to access the underlying base layer of a given native asset they want to trade.
6/ The aggregated liquidity via Edge is accessible by any user of a cross-chain Vertex instance (e.g., non-Arbitrum), displayed as a single, synchronous orderbook on the corresponding app’s interface.
6/ Vertex Daily Traders & Edge Interactions
Vertex's trader activity via Edge has steadily increased, highlighting a growing reliance on Edge for better trade execution between Vertex & Blitz. This also displays the positive-sum effects on liquidity with each new Edge chain.

10/ Perpetuals – Interchain Funding Rates & Basis Trading:
Market efficiency is optimized as cross-chain liquidity for perpetuals brings the most capital-efficient trading opportunities to traders and risk-takers across ecosystems.
9/ Blitz – Edge’s Volume Contribution
Edge’s contribution to Blitz’s total trading volume is significant. However, the total maker volume that Blitz sources from Vertex through Edge has progressively declined.

5/ Reduced Development / Integration Costs
The cost of building architecture & basic liquidity for cross-chain bridging solutions and native L2 DEXs is often prohibitively expensive. It’s a resource-intensive task in both engineering and financial capital.
7/ Edge lowers barriers to entry, enabling a DEX with proven product-market fit on Arbitrum and deep cross-chain liquidity out of the box on supported chains – alleviating the burden of costs for cross-chain bridging solutions and launching a successful DEX.

3/ Increased Blockspace Demand
Settlement of orders originating from 2 different chains still occurs locally to each origin chain for both sides of a matched order – producing positive-sum effects on the local blockspace demand for any chain supported by Vertex Edge.

4/ Better On-Chain Liquidity
Each chain added to the network helps achieve economies of scale. Every chain benefits from the addition of the chains that preceded it, and every existing chain on the network benefits from the activity of the new additional chain.
3/ In a nutshell, Edge facilitates cross-chain matching of trades by unifying the orderbook, creating positive order flow and enhancing liquidity for all Vertex instances.
For instance; Alice places a market order on Blitz to long ETH-PERP at price X.
Edge matches it with the
2/ Unfamiliar with Edge❓
Conceptually, Edge functions like a virtual market maker between exchange venues on different chains.

1/ Edge - the solution to liquidity fragmentation.
The problem? Traditional multichain protocols are forced to find new liquidity for each deployment - resulting in liquidity split across chains, and not capitalized to its full potential.
Edge is designed to solve this ⤵️
6/ Edge doesn’t just benefit the user, but also the connected blockchains.
Orders settle locally on-chain to the origin chain of the user — providing a net-positive impact on the local chain’s blockspace demand without locking-up liquidity from other protocols in the ecosystem.
7/ This is a high-level overview of how Edge solves liquidity fragmentation.
Stay tuned as we explore Edge’s triangle of features, covering the advantages to both users & the underlying blockchains connected by Edge.
Many chains (coming soon), one unified source of liquidity.
5/ Traders can make use of these unified rates for various trade opportunities, such as taking delta neutral perp positions cross chain on multiple venues while avoiding changes in funding rates.
2/ Sourcing new liquidity is difficult & expensive - overcoming this initial hurdle only results in liquidity being siloed from other chains and doesn’t improve the quality or depth of the existing liquidity.
Edge is built different 🧱
4/ There's more anon.
By unifying the orderbook, Edge funding rates remain consistent across each market & each venue, enhancing efficiency compared to other platforms where fragmented liquidity causes varying rates across chains
➡️ Unified funding rates. No matter the venue.
3/ Fundamentally, Edge acts as a network of liquidity highways, merging isolated islands of liquidity into a single, shared continent.
This synchronization of liquidity across multiple chains removes the barriers that cause fragmented liquidity pools.
4/ By connecting liquidity from multiple chains, Edge enables trading against unified cross-chain liquidity on a single DEX, removing the necessity to source & bootstrap liquidity on each chain.
5/ How does it work?
Simply put, Edge matches orders from different blockchains against the best liquidity after checking orders across all instances of Vertex.
