Common Questions
EVEDEX operates entirely on-chain on Arbitrum, meaning your funds never leave your wallet until a trade executes. dYdX v4 uses an off-chain orderbook and validator network, which increases speed but introduces more trust assumptions. EVEDEX prioritizes transparency and self-custody while maintaining competitive performance.
EVEDEX charges 0.02% maker and 0.05% taker fees with no additional insurance fund contributions or hidden costs. dYdX v4 fees vary by tier and include validator rewards and potential protocol fees. For most traders, EVEDEX offers a simpler and often cheaper fee structure.
Yes. EVEDEX supports cross-margin mode where all open positions share the same collateral pool. This lets you offset profitable positions against losing ones and reduces the chance of isolated liquidations. You can also switch to isolated margin for individual positions if preferred.
EVEDEX supports market orders, limit orders, stop-loss, and take-profit orders natively. More advanced conditional orders and trailing stops are in development. The platform is built for active traders who need precise execution tools and transparent order matching.
EVEDEX is deployed on Arbitrum, an Ethereum Layer 2 with low gas fees and fast finality. dYdX v4 runs on its own Cosmos-based chain, which offers high throughput but requires bridging assets and trusting a separate validator set. Arbitrum keeps you within the Ethereum security model.
