Risks & notes
- Vertex is a non‑custodial DEX but smart contract and sequencer risks remain.
- Perpetual trading involves leverage—positions can be liquidated quickly in volatile markets.
- Geographic restrictions may apply; check platform terms before trading.
Getting started
- Install a compatible wallet (MetaMask or WalletConnect).
- Bridge or acquire funds on a supported L2 (Arbitrum, Base, Blast, Mantle, Sei — check the official site for live list).
- Connect, deposit collateral, and start with conservative leverage to familiarise yourself with cross‑margin mechanics.
Note: VRTX is the protocol token used across Vertex’s ecosystem. Always verify contract addresses on the official docs before interacting.
