what's ZEX?

ZEX is a hybrid decentralized exchange that bridges the gap between centralized exchange performance and DeFi trustlessness. Operating as an EigenLayer Actively Validated Service (AVS), it achieves CEX-level speeds of up to 100,000 transactions per second and sub-second order matching through its deterministic ZexCora engine and Zellular Sequencer. Secured by billions in restaked ETH, it uses threshold signatures across EigenLayer nodes for self-custodial fund management without users handling keys, bridges, or gas fees. The platform supports efficient spot trading across EVM chains, Bitcoin, Solana, and more via an order-driven model that unifies liquidity, minimizes slippage, and includes MEV protection. Perpetual futures are powered by Symmio integration, with additional advanced options like margin and futures trading. Emphasizing privacy with no mandatory KYC, ZEX delivers seamless UX while maintaining full user control and capital efficiency without traditional AMM pools.

ZEX runs Genesis Campaign (10M $Z, 1% supply) and integrated Symmio for perpetuals/spot markets.
