Get answers to common questions about trading on Vertex Protocol.
Vertex Protocol's cross-margin system allows you to use a single collateral pool across all trading products - spot, perpetual futures, and money markets. When you deposit assets, they become available as collateral for all positions. This eliminates the need to manage separate margin accounts and significantly improves capital efficiency. For example, if you have $10,000 in collateral, you can simultaneously open spot positions, perpetual futures positions, and lending positions, with the system automatically calculating your overall margin requirements and liquidation risks across all positions. The unified margin system also means that profitable positions can help offset losses in other positions, reducing your overall risk of liquidation.
Vertex Protocol offers competitive fee structure with maker fees starting at 0.02% and taker fees at 0.05%. Fees decrease with higher trading volumes, and we offer additional discounts for users who hold and stake our native VRTX token. There are no deposit fees, and withdrawal fees are minimal due to our Layer 2 architecture. Market makers who provide significant liquidity to the platform can qualify for negative maker fees (rebates). All fee information is transparently displayed in our fee schedule, and we never charge hidden fees or unexpected costs. Regular traders can also benefit from our fee tier system which automatically reduces fees based on 30-day trading volume.
Yes, Vertex Protocol prioritizes security through multiple layers: 1) Non-custodial architecture - you maintain control of your assets at all times, 2) Regular smart contract audits by leading security firms, 3) Bug bounty programs with significant rewards, 4) Insurance fund to cover potential shortfalls, 5) Multi-signature governance for protocol upgrades, and 6) Real-time risk monitoring systems. The protocol has been extensively tested and has operated securely with billions in trading volume. However, as with all DeFi protocols, users should understand the risks including smart contract risk, liquidation risk, and market volatility. We recommend starting with small amounts and using risk management tools like stop-loss orders.

Each asset goes through a rigorous listing process including security review, liquidity assessment, and community governance approval.
