Welcome to the third blog post in our series on the core value proposition of Deriverse, a fully decentralized, permissionless & self-custodial trading platform on Solana, with perps, spot, options, futures & tokenized assets launchpad, optimized for minimizing transaction failures & fees, catering to professional trading firms & qualified retail. In this post, we’ll dive deeper into one of the key components of our platform: combination of multiple instrument types, i.e. perpetual swaps, futures, options, spot and launchpad for tokenized assets.
Why Crypto Needs a One-Stop Trading Shop
Crypto trading is fragmented in many ways. Apart from fragmentation of liquidity, we see fragmentation of instrument types. Launchpads live on one platform, perps trading on another, and options trading on a completely different one. Traders are forced to jump between platforms, manage multiple wallets, pay various fees and use different index prices for hedging. This is inefficient, time-consuming, and costly. That’s why we built Deriverse. Deriverse is more than just another decentralized exchange. It’s a comprehensive, all-in-one trading ecosystem designed to take any asset through its full financial lifecycle. From its launch, to spot trading, and eventually into advanced derivatives markets, Deriverse offers everything a trader or project needs, on one platform. Here’s how we do it:
Launchpad
New tokens and assets need a strong start, but launching them has traditionally been a complex, expensive, and centralized process. With Deriverse’s Launchpad, we make launching new assets simple, low-cost, and fully decentralized. The Deriverse Launchpad stands out by being:
-
Decentralized: Unlike traditional launchpads where the founding team often acts as a gatekeeper, Deriverse’s launchpad operates with 0 admin role from our team. This ensures fairness, transparency, and trust in the launch process.
-
Cost-Efficient: We’ve eliminated the high fees associated with launching tokens, making it easier for innovative projects to bring their ideas to market. For example, on Raydium, listing an asset can cost as much as 3 SOL. On Deriverse, it’s up to 10x less.
Spot Trading
Spot trading is the foundation of every trading ecosystem, but on many decentralized platforms, it’s far from perfect. At Deriverse, we’ve built a fast, efficient, and decentralized spot trading experience that caters to both retail and professional traders. The Deriverse Spot Trading stands out by being:
-
Decentralized Orderbook: Deriverse orderbook does not rely on any off-chain components, it is developed from scratch in-house and not based on existing orderbook frameworks, such as Phoenix or Open Book v2.
-
Hybrid AMM + Orderbook: Deriverse spot trading mechanism utilizes a blend of traditional orderbooks and AMMs (automated market maker) for optimal execution under all liquidity conditions.
Derivatives Trading
The crypto derivatives market is one of the fastest-growing areas of DeFi. Many decentralized platforms offer limited derivatives options, and centralized exchanges dominate the market—despite their risks. Deriverse changes the game by offering a full suite of on-chain derivatives, all integrated into one platform:
-
Perpetual Swaps: Traditional perpetual swaps based on oracles, margins & liquidations
-
Options: AMM (automated market maker) with Trading Ranges, with no oracles or liquidations
-
Futures: Orderbook with Trading Ranges, with no oracles or liquidations
What are Trading Ranges?
Each derivative has a fixed daily Trading Range. Trading Range refers to the difference between the upper and lower price bound within the period of one day. Profits and losses of market participants are limited to this daily Trading Range. This approach allows for calculating the full risk for the Protocol and the Client (Collateral). The Trading Range is recalculated daily after during the Fixing Price procedure. For an existing derivative, the Trading Range can only decrease in its width. The Trading Range is calculated based on the volatility of the given Spot Instrument.
Why it matters?
With Deriverse, traders can unlock full asset flexibility and use a wide array of advanced financial instruments without ever leaving the platform. Whether you’re hedging a position, leveraging your portfolio, or executing complex strategies, Deriverse provides everything you need—securely, transparently, and efficiently..
Here’s why that matters:
-
For Makers: Market makers can hedge their positions using one index price, constructing more efficient hedges, providing conditions to attract the best liquidity, e.g. hedging maker positions on perpetuals with futures.
-
For Professional Takers: Professional trading firms can profit from sophisticated strategies involving options, futures, spot and perpetual swaps, e.g. constructing a basis trade.
-
For Qualified Retail: Retail traders can launch new assets and instantly trade them on the spot market, with the option of later conversion into derivatives, e.g. perp on a new memecoin.
The Future of Trading Lives on Deriverse
Deriverse isn’t just another DEX—it’s a complete trading ecosystem designed to unlock the full potential of every asset and every trader. From launching new tokens, to managing portfolios with spot trading, to executing advanced strategies with derivatives, Deriverse offers everything you need in one platform.
It’s fast. It’s efficient. It’s decentralized.
