# Bitcoin DEX for Perpetual Trading

Trade the price of Bitcoin through the BTC-USD perpetual contract on a hybrid exchange: orders are matched off-chain, settlement happens on-chain on Arbitrum L2, and your margin sits in a personal smart account. EVEDEX does not sell or swap BTC.

## How EVEDEX Works as a Hybrid Exchange

### Off-Chain Order Book

Bids and asks are matched in an off-chain order book for speed, so placing an order costs no gas. Order types: market, limit, stop-limit, and take-profit/stop-loss.

### On-Chain Settlement

Trades settle on-chain on the Arbitrum L2 network, and withdrawals are paid in USDT to the network you choose.

### Personal Smart Account

Your margin sits in USDT in a personal smart account—a smart contract on Arbitrum linked to your wallet—rather than a pooled platform hot wallet.

### AML-Screened Deposits

There's no traditional KYC, but every deposit passes automated anti-money-laundering screening. Minimum deposit is 6 USDT, minimum order 5 USDT.

## Bitcoin Derivatives on a Hybrid Exchange

EVEDEX offers perpetual futures only: no options, no dated futures, no spot trading.

### Bitcoin Perpetual Contracts

Trade leveraged Bitcoin positions that never expire: up to 200x on BTC-USD for positions up to $50,000. Funding is calculated every 8 hours and charged hourly in eighths.

## Common Questions

### How does a Bitcoin DEX differ from a centralized exchange?

On a traditional DEX you trade from your own wallet and settlement happens on-chain, while a centralized platform holds your funds in its own wallets. EVEDEX is a hybrid exchange: you deposit USDT into a personal smart account on Arbitrum, orders are matched off-chain, and trades settle on-chain. EVEDEX doesn't hold Bitcoin because it doesn't sell it at all—it lists the BTC-USD perpetual contract instead. None of this removes the liquidation risk that comes with leverage.

### What are the fees on EVEDEX?

Maker orders on EVEDEX pay no more than 0.015% and taker orders no more than 0.045%, and you can get back up to 35% of your trading fees through the cashback program, plus earn from invited traders via the [EVEDEX referral program](https://evedex.com/en/invite/).

### Can I trade Bitcoin derivatives without KYC?

Yes. EVEDEX has no traditional KYC: you sign in with a wallet, email, or social account, and deposits pass automated AML screening. Availability still depends on your jurisdiction.

### Which wallets work with the Bitcoin DEX?

Any wallet supporting WalletConnect or MetaMask works. Popular options include Ledger, Trezor, Rainbow, and Coinbase Wallet. Your private keys never leave your device.

### How are liquidations handled on decentralized futures?

On decentralized exchanges where liquidation happens on-chain, automated bots monitor margin requirements and any of them can trigger a liquidation once a position falls below the maintenance threshold. On EVEDEX, the account runs on cross margin: when equity drops below the maintenance margin, positions are liquidated, and EVEDEX maintains a $500,000 ADL Protection Reserve as of July 18, 2026.

## Start Trading the BTC-USD Perpetual

Sign in with a wallet, email, or social account, deposit from 6 USDT, and open a long or short position on BTC-USD around the clock. Perpetual futures carry a high risk of loss.
