edgeX vs Orderly

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.

The Orderly Bridge tracks the assets deposited into Orderly, the omnichain order book infrastructure behind many perpetual DEXs. Users deposit from Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain and other networks, and their funds are settled on Orderly's own chain, where a shared central limit order book serves every front end built on Orderly. The bridged balance is the collateral used for trading across those venues.
