Blitz is the first cross-chain instance of Vertex Edge, a novel synchronous orderbook liquidity product for unifying cross-chain liquidity across supported EVM chains.

Instead of liquidity fragmentation between Blitz on Blast and Vertex on Arbitrum, liquidity between chains is fused together and displayed as a singular, unified orderbook — accessible to both Blitz and Vertex users. Independent orders from one chain’s instance (e.g., Blitz) are matched against the combined liquidity from both Vertex and Blitz — native to Arbitrum and Blast, respectively.

Concurrent order matching between chains occurs and is aggregated at the Vertex Sequencer level. The state of the sequencer’s consolidated liquidity profile across all of the supported base layers (Arbitrum and Blast) is then sharded and propagated to each Vertex Edge instance, starting with Blitz.

Blitz utilizes the same hybrid on / off chain architecture as Vertex on the back-end, where the off-chain Sequencer is a powerful matching engine coupled with on-chain settlement to the local chain — meaning Blast in the case of Blitz.

On Blitz, you can harness the power of:

• Blazing Fast Speeds: Trade with low-latency order matching execution, consistently clocking in at 5 - 15 milliseconds -- competitive with most CEXs.

• 40+ Perpetual & Spot Markets: Immediately access over 30 spot and perpetual markets with unified cross-margin and embedded money markets for spot borrowing. Leveraged looping strategies are natively baked into the DEX -- all within one interface.

• Cheap Trading Fees: Capitalize on some of the most competitive DEX trading fees in DeFi.

  • Maker = 0 bps across all markets.

  • Taker = 2 bps across all markets.

• Earn Points & BLAST by Trading: Trade on Blitz to stack points and earn BLAST rewards from the Blitz Big Bang Competition Winner Dev Allocation.

  • Engage, Explore, and Earn with Community Points -- powered by Galxe.

• Intuitive & Streamlined App: Tap into a simple, feature-rich, and powerful trading interface. A high-octane orderbook, integrated money markets, and an embedded AMM all woven together by a unified cross-margin risk engine.

• Connect to an HFT-Friendly API & SDK: Plug into a robust API and SDK spanning multiple languages including Typescript, Python, and Rust.

• Self-Custody & On-Chain Settlement: Preserve DeFi's core primitives of self-custody and on-chain settlement without sacrificing performance
