What is EdgeX? How to Use It

EdgeX is a decentralized derivatives trading platform designed to deliver speed and depth comparable to centralized exchanges (CEX). Users maintain control of their assets in their own wallets, while EdgeX leverages StarkWare’s zero-knowledge (zk) proof technology to process up to 200,000 orders per second, ensuring fast and low-cost trading. The platform is tailored for professional traders with advanced leveraged and spot trading tools.

Supported by Amber Group, EdgeX enables cross-chain trading across more than 70 blockchains. It offers spot and perpetual trading while providing automated strategy tools like the eStrategy Vault for professional trading needs.
