edgeX vs Paradex

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.

Paradex is a high-performance derivatives exchange offering zero-fee perpetuals, deep liquidity and zk-encrypted account privacy on a custom Starknet-based L2. Traders access 250+ markets across futures, dated and perpetual options, and spot via unified margin, with listings that often precede major CEXs. The platform integrates retail price improvement, institutional-grade risk controls and tokenized high-yield vaults, all powered by the DIME token and Paradigm-backed infrastructure.
