edgeX vs Nado

The edgeX Bridge tracks the assets users deposit to trade on edgeX, the order book exchange for perpetuals and spot. Funds are held in edgeX contracts across Ethereum, Arbitrum and the edgeX L1, while trades are matched at high speed on the exchange and settled with on-chain custody. The bridged balance is the collateral that backs trading across edgeX products.

Nado is a high-performance central-limit orderbook (CLOB) DEX built on Ink L2, combining off-chain execution with on-chain risk and settlement for ultra-low latency trading. It enables spot and perpetual markets under a unified margin system where collateral dynamically offsets risk across positions, maximizing capital efficiency. With features such as money markets, up to 20x leverage, liquidity provision via the NLP vault, and an HFT-friendly API, Nado delivers a professional trading experience with taker fees as low as 1.5 bps and maker rebates up to -0.8 bps, all while preserving full self-custody of assets.
