😏 Can a DEX be better than a CEX?
Some say no. But with Storm v2.5, we’re proving otherwise. Welcome to an upgrade that makes decentralized trading faster, cheaper, and more reliable than ever.
Since the launch of Storm Trade V2, the platform has become significantly more efficient, reflecting in both TVL and trading volume:
-
TVL has more than doubled ($16M in December 2024 → $33M in February 2025).
-
Trading volumes have stabilized, reaching $26M per day on the launch of the $TRUMP token.
Storm Trade continues to expand its trading ecosystem in the TON network, providing efficient and high-quality trading solutions while strengthening user trust.
🚀 Introducing the revolutionary liquidity aggregation system
Storm Trade V2.5 now utilizes a liquidity aggregation mechanism that replaces traditional Price Impact, ensuring transparent and fair trade execution. Market Price always equals Index Price, as provided by the oracle.
Instead of price changes caused by large orders, our system aggregates liquidity from external markets, creating fair trading conditions for all users.
How does it work?
-
When a trader opens or increases a position, execution price traditionally depends on trade size, creating a small spread.
-
With liquidity aggregation, the spread is calculated based on the average order book depth from top CEXs (Binance, Bybit, etc.) and market liquidity for long and short positions on a given pair:
-
BTC & ETH – 0% spread regardless of volume.
-
TON & NOT – 0% spread, but affected by market depth.
-
RWA (real-world assets) – fixed spread of 0.015%, regardless of volume.
-
Other pairs – dynamic spread, based on liquidity and CEX data.
-
Why is this great for traders?
-
No more price confusion: Instead of separate Index Price and Market Price charts, traders now see one unified price and chart, free from hidden slippage.
-
Minimal slippage: Aggregated liquidity ensures large orders are executed at fair and accurate prices based on CEX order books.
💎 Guaranteed execution with the sequencer
We previously introduced the Sequencer in a major update, and since then, it has received significant upgrades, making order execution even more precise.
Limit orders execute even in high volatility
If the price suddenly crosses both a limit order level and a nearby liquidation level, the limit order is still executed, ensuring reliable and predictable trade execution.
🔹 Important: If a trader uses NOT or TON as margin, the liquidation level may shift based on the collateral’s price.
Precise exit prices
Closing positions now has zero spread—traders get exactly the price they see in the interface, with only minimal signing lag.
Guaranteed SL/TP execution
The Sequencer monitors all orders and processes them in batches without delay.
Yes, this feature was already available in previous versions—but it’s too good not to highlight again!
💼 Smart automated risk management system
Storm v2.5 introduces an advanced risk management system, enabling more efficient liquidity allocation and expanding open interest limits significantly.
-
Soon, traders will be able to open much larger positions without worrying about limits.
-
Our dynamic risk management system automatically redistributes liquidity into high-demand pairs in real time.
⚡️ Storm Trade vs. CEX/DEX: Comfort & Efficiency
When comparing exchanges, market depth is one of the most important factors. It determines how much a large order affects the price.
Let’s compare the price impact for the TON/USDT pair
1️⃣ Binance: The +2% market depth is $822,947 (Fig.1).
-
Buying $822K USDT moves the price by 2%.
-
Buying $82K USDT moves the price by 0.2%.
2️⃣ Storm Trade: A long position in TON/USD with $82K USDT moves the price by just 0.081% (Fig.2), making execution 2.5x more efficient.
3️⃣ Hyperliquid: The price impact is 0.097% (Fig.3), slightly higher than Storm Trade. However, there is an important advantage to maximising leverage when paired with TON:
-
Hyperliquid – up to 10x
-
Storm Trade – up to 75x ⚡️
4️⃣ gTrade: The price impact is 0.1% (Fig.4), which is also higher than Storm Trade.
The above comparisons clearly demonstrate how Storm Trade offers the best trading conditions among both CEXs and DEXs, providing traders low slippage and precise execution, even for large orders.
