Vertex is a decentralized exchange (DEX) for spot and perpetual cryptocurrency trading, known for its high speeds, low fees, and deep liquidity across multiple blockchains like Arbitrum, Base, and Sei. The platform features a unified orderbook to prevent liquidity fragmentation, one-click trading, cross-margining, and money markets. Recently, Vertex announced it will join the Ink Foundation, sunsetting its DEX operations and the VRTX token. The team and infrastructure will transition to the Ink ecosystem, and VRTX holders will be eligible for an airdrop of INK tokens.
