Vest Exchange

Vest Exchange is a decentralized perpetual futures trading platform designed for capital efficiency, deep liquidity, and trustless execution. It operates on top of Vest's zkRisk platform, a zero-knowledge unified risk engine that continuously monitors and quantifies risk across all connected financial products without exposing private information. This architecture enables Vest Exchange to offer a transparent, fair, and scalable trading environment that prevents market manipulation and socialized losses.

The core innovation behind Vest Exchange is the zkRisk pricing engine, which dynamically adjusts pricing based on real-time risk exposure rather than relying on manual interventions or open interest caps. This approach aligns incentives across participants, reduces hidden trading costs, and ensures stable liquidity. Vest Exchange currently supports perpetual futures on over 40 trading pairs, including cryptocurrencies, derivatives, commodities, and real-world assets, with plans to add spot markets, native borrow/lend features, and coin margin trading.

Vest Exchange targets both retail and institutional traders who require a trustless and composable financial ecosystem with explicit risk management. The platform's zero-knowledge proofs enable near-instant transaction finality and full decentralization without exposure to miner extractable value (MEV). Developers and traders can get started by accessing the comprehensive documentation and open-source codebase, joining the active community on Discord and Twitter, and exploring the zkRisk engine's research and fee structure. Vest Exchange is evolving as the first product in a broader vision to rebuild traditional finance on a trustless, composable foundation.
