ApeX Pro
ApeX Protocol's newest product offering, ApeX Pro is a permissionless and non-custodial DEX, powered by StarkWare's Layer 2 scalability engine StarkEx. It operates on an orderbook model and delivers cross-margined perpetual contracts to its community under a new framework. It is primed to deliver limitless access to the perpetual swaps market, as it remains committed to the promises of not just speed and efficiency, but also security with transparency on traders' preferred derivatives trading assets.
ApeX Protocol is a multichain decentralized derivatives protocol, designed to address flaws in existing decentralized exchanges (DEXs) such as high gas fees and poor order execution, and is dedicated to realizing the Web 3.0 vision — shaping a free and open ecosystem for all users to grow their wealth in a safe and trusted environment.
The protocol is incubated and supported by Davion Labs (a crypto impact incubator founded by Bybit) and backed by prominent global investors such as Dragonfly Capital, Jump Trading, Kronos, M77 Ventures, Mirana Ventures, Tiger Global, Cobo, and CyberX.
