What is a DEX?
A DEX, or decentralized exchange, is a peer-to-peer marketplace where transactions occur directly between traders. DEXs foster financial transactions that aren't officiated by banks, brokers, or any other intermediary. Their key features include self-custody, transparency, borderless transactions and immutability. As a user of a DEX, you control your private key and no centralized entity can access your funds or make trades on your behalf.
What is the Derive Protocol?
The Derive Protocol is a permissionless protocol that settles perpetuals and options trades. The protocol is deployed on an Optimistic Rollup that settles to the Ethereum blockchain. The protocol is governed by the Derive DAO and DRV token holders. Learn more
