Vertex: Edge of Tomorrow

Vertex has established itself as a formidable player in the perps DEX landscape. Its strategic approach to chain expansion, focusing on EVM-compatible networks and leveraging incentive programs, has proven largely successful. The reduced time-to-launch for each new chain integration highlights the team's growing expertise and the scalability of their technology.
