The Derive Exchange is a fully-featured, low-latency exchange that settles trades and manages risk on-chain via Zero Knowledge proofs.
Diagram of the two ways users can interact with the exchange.
There are two ways users and builders can interact with the exchange:
  • HTTP & WebSocket JSON-RPC API: send state-changing requests with self-custodial signed actions or non-sensitive market-data requests.
  • L1 Transactions: deposit to the exchange via on-chain contract calls or interact with the exchange with a multi-sig. This method also allows users to withdraw funds using the “escape hatch”.
