ApeX Omni is a high-performance perpetual futures DEX with up to 50x leverage, cross-collateral margin, and omnichain liquidity via zkLink. The platform supports 100+ trading pairs with sub-second execution and advanced order types.
The Challenge
Building a decentralized perpetual trading platform requires balancing the speed and reliability traders expect from centralized exchanges with the transparency and security of on-chain settlement. The platform needed to handle high-frequency trading volumes while maintaining strict security standards.
What We Built

- Cross-collateral margin system supporting multiple assets as collateral
- Omnichain liquidity via zkLink for deep order books across chains
- Advanced order types including limit, market, stop-loss, and take-profit
- Real-time portfolio tracking with P&L calculations and risk metrics
- Sub-second execution with optimistic transaction processing
Key Metrics
- TVL: $500M+
- Monthly Traders: 50K+
