📋Overview
Trade spot & futures with blazing fast speed and efficiency. Many chains, one united source of liquidity.
Welcome to Blitz — a blazing fast orderbook DEX for spot and perpetuals trading deployed natively on-chain to the Blast L2 network.
Unleash synchronous orderbook liquidity -- powered by Vertex Edge.
Welcome to Blitz -- Built on Blast
Blitz is the first cross-chain instance of Vertex Edge, a novel synchronous orderbook liquidity product for unifying cross-chain liquidity across supported EVM chains.
Instead of liquidity fragmentation between Blitz on Blast and Vertex on Arbitrum, liquidity between chains is fused together and displayed as a singular, unified orderbook — accessible to both Blitz and Vertex users. Independent orders from one chain’s instance (e.g., Blitz) are matched against the combined liquidity from both Vertex and Blitz — native to Arbitrum and Blast, respectively.
Concurrent order matching between chains occurs and is aggregated at the Vertex Sequencer level. The state of the sequencer’s consolidated liquidity profile across all of the supported base layers (Arbitrum and Blast) is then sharded and propagated to each Vertex Edge instance, starting with Blitz.
Blitz utilizes the same hybrid on / off chain architecture as Vertex on the back-end, where the off-chain Sequencer is a powerful matching engine coupled with on-chain settlement to the local chain — meaning Blast in the case of Blitz.
Edge simply moves on-chain settlement from one chain (Arbitrum) to many chains. Initially, this means Arbitrum and Blast, with more EVM chains on the way. As a result, the prevailing issue of fragmented liquidity between dApp instances on different chains is replaced by liquidity spanning multiple chains.
The compounding effect on better liquidity ripples across each new chain running a Vertex Edge instance, where every chain benefits from the addition of the chains that preceded it. And every existing Edge instance, such as Blitz and Vertex (Arbitrum), benefit from the trading activity of any new, additional chain.
Positive sum liquidity games for the win.
What does this mean for you, anon?
Blitz users will be the first to access the combined liquidity profile of both the Blitz orderbook and the resting (e.g., maker) orderbook liquidity of the Vertex app on Arbitrum. Meaning Blitz users can trade against a unified source of cross-chain liquidity between two chains — all within the Blitz app interface.
On Blitz, you can harness the power of:
Blazing Fast Speeds: Trade with low-latency order matching execution, consistently clocking in at 5 - 15 milliseconds -- competitive with most CEXs.
40+ Perpetual & Spot Markets: Immediately access over 30 spot and perpetual markets with unified cross-margin and embedded money markets for spot borrowing. Leveraged looping strategies are natively baked into the DEX -- all within one interface.
Cheap Trading Fees: Capitalize on some of the most competitive DEX trading fees in DeFi.
Maker = 0 bps across all markets.
Taker = 2 bps across all markets.
Earn Points & BLAST by Trading: Trade on Blitz to stack points and earn BLAST rewards from the Blitz Big Bang Competition Winner Dev Allocation.
Engage, Explore, and Earn with Community Points -- powered by Galxe.
Intuitive & Streamlined App: Tap into a simple, feature-rich, and powerful trading interface. A high-octane orderbook, integrated money markets, and an embedded AMM all woven together by a unified cross-margin risk engine.
Connect to an HFT-Friendly API & SDK: Plug into a robust API and SDK spanning multiple languages including Typescript, Python, and Rust.
Self-Custody & On-Chain Settlement: Preserve DeFi's core primitives of self-custody and on-chain settlement without sacrificing performance.
Most importantly, discover a new multi-chain paradigm for trading -- synchronous orderbook liquidity.
Many chains, one cohesive source of liquidity.
It's time to become a Blitzer, anon. Welcome to the fam.
