Frequently Asked Questions

How is Vortex Different from other DEXs?

Vortex offers a comprehensive and performant decentralized trading experience. Most DEXs utilize a virtual automated market-maker (VAMM) instead of an orderbook due to blockchain transaction throughput limitations or offer an off-chain orderbook solution ran on a centralized server. Vortex is able to offer a truly decentralized orderbook experience for the Cosmos thanks to Sei Network's on-chain matching system.

What can I trade on Vortex?

Vortex will offer Perpetual Futures at launch.

How can I earn passive yield?

All Deposits in the protocol automatically earn passive APY by providing utility to Vortex's borrow lending pool.
