nLEND Redemption Platform Launch Announcement

Demex is rolling out **Cross Margin** trading on May 4th, 2026, adding a new layer of flexibility to the platform. **Key Features:** - **Shared margin across positions** - reduces liquidation risk by pooling collateral - **Improved capital efficiency** - deploy funds across multiple trades simultaneously - **Unified balance management** - trade with a single margin pool instead of isolated positions Cross margin differs from isolated margin by using your entire available balance as collateral across all positions, rather than allocating separate funds to each trade. This approach can help traders stay in positions longer during market volatility. The feature launches Monday, May 4th on the Demex platform.

A cryptocurrency exchange has delisted 19 perpetual markets effective April 10th due to insufficient trading activity. **Delisted Markets Include:** - APT-PERP, AXL-PERP, EIGEN-PERP, ETC-PERP - HBAR-PERP, ICP-PERP, INJ-PERP, KAS-PERP - LUNA-PERP, OP-PERP, OSMO-PERP, POL-PERP - RUNE-PERP, SCRT-PERP, SEI-PERP, STRK-PERP - STX-PERP, TIA-PERP, ZIL-PERP **Key Details:** - Reason: Low open interest and trading volume - The platform acknowledged delayed notification due to a system issue - This follows a similar delisting of 6 markets in October 2025 The delistings reflect ongoing market consolidation as exchanges remove underperforming trading pairs to focus resources on more active markets.

Demex is restructuring its perpetual trading infrastructure by consolidating all existing perp pools into two main categories: **BTC/ETH** and **Alts Perp Pool**. **Key improvements:** - Deeper liquidity across trading pairs - Improved capital efficiency for traders - Smoother overall trading experience The consolidation aims to concentrate liquidity rather than spreading it across multiple smaller pools, potentially reducing slippage and improving execution for traders.

Demex has implemented changes to its borrow interest mechanism as part of pool normalization efforts. **Key Changes:** - In borrow-only mode, all interest now flows to fee collectors (stakers and LPs) rather than lenders - This strategic shift aims to discourage users from parking funds in pools solely to farm interest during the unwinding process - The platform previously reverted zero-interest curves and introduced return-only mode for all assets The adjustment represents a tactical approach to rebalancing the protocol's liquidity structure while maintaining incentives for active participants in the ecosystem.

Demex is reverting its zero-interest curve back to previous settings and implementing a return-only mode across all assets. This follows a temporary measure where interest rates were set to 0% as a safety precaution. The zero-interest setting was designed to halt interest dynamics that were creating excessive debt positions while the team adjusted parameters and addressed bad debt. The return-only mode represents a new operational framework for asset management on the platform. Users should expect changes to how interest accrues and how positions can be managed going forward. These adjustments are part of ongoing efforts to stabilize the platform's lending mechanics and protect users from parameter-related risks.
