edgeX vs SSV Network

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.

SSV Network is a decentralized infrastructure for Ethereum staking based on Distributed Validator Technology (DVT). Instead of running a validator on a single machine, SSV splits the validator key into shares distributed across several independent operators, so the validator keeps performing even if some operators go offline or misbehave. This improves resilience, reduces slashing risk and lowers reliance on any single node operator. SSV is used by staking pools, liquid staking protocols and institutions, and the SSV token is used to pay operator fees and to govern the network through the SSV DAO.
