Vertex is a cross-margined DEX built on top of Arbitrum.

Vertex Edge attempts to transfer liquidity from different chains into a synchronous order book.

Liquidity fragmentation is an issue in a modular world. With each new rollup created, liquidity fragments, as liquidity cannot be created out of thin air—it needs to come from somewhere.

Edge solves this fragmentation through liquidity aggregation at the sequencer level.

The sequencer state is split between each edge chain, which is concurrently processing orders from each chain.

If a trade is placed on Arbitrum, it will be matched against liquidity from other Edge-supported
