edgeX Background Introduction#
What is edgeX#
As the industry's first MVP product, edgeX innovatively adopts an order book model, providing a smooth experience and unique features comparable to centralized exchanges while ensuring users' assets are self-custodied. Its core positioning is to build an on-chain financial infrastructure that integrates liquidity and trading functions, combining the high performance of CeFi with the transparent and secure characteristics of DeFi, dedicated to creating the next generation of on-chain financial ecosystems.
Project highlights include:
- The founding team comes from Barclays, Morgan Stanley, and top exchanges like Bybit and HTX
- Developing multiple trading and liquidity management tools
- Utilizing the ETH mainnet account system, achieving low-cost gas fees for deposits and withdrawals through the ARB chain
edgeX's Security Architecture#
Through an innovative cross-chain liquidity pool solution, users can recharge on either the ARB chain or other chains, with the final funds anchored on the Ethereum mainnet. This design reduces users' gas costs (ARB chain deposits and withdrawals) while ensuring asset security through the high security of the ETH mainnet.
The Next Industry Dark Horse?#
As the most noteworthy unlaunched DEX in 2024, edgeX has already matched the product experience of leading platform Hyperliquid. It is supported by top market maker Amber Group, which has deep expertise in liquidity management and trading system construction:
Industry Insight: Amber Group is not only a leader in the digital asset trading field but also an important liquidity partner and validation node for mainstream exchanges and hundreds of crypto projects.
Currently, the Points Alpha season activity is underway, allowing users to earn early points through trading (expected 1:1 token redemption). Based on Hyperliquid's historical performance, early participants generally achieve excess returns. The current user base of the platform is relatively small, making it the best window for earning points—an initial deposit of 100U grants 5 points, with an off-market valuation reaching 5U/point.
Platform Advantages:
- iOS/Android clients and web version are live
- Contract trading supports 100x leverage
- Weekly updates of the points leaderboard every Wednesday (UTC)
- Sub-account system supports both long and short positions
