DeriW’s Layer 3 Perpetual Exchange Design and Trading Features

Article OKX Learn

Summary

The article describes DeriW, a decentralized perpetual exchange presented as using an Arbitrum Orbit Layer 3 network, optimistic rollups, and a custom WASM/Geth architecture. It claims the platform offers zero-gas-fee trading and throughput of 80,000 transactions per second. The proposed design aims to reduce user transaction costs while retaining on-chain collateral and self-custody, though the article gives no independent performance or security evidence for these claims.

It also outlines testnet order types, including market, limit, take-profit, and stop-loss orders, and introduces a Pendulum automated market maker that is said to target zero slippage. The roadmap describes a planned mainnet launch, token event, trading API, and custom pairs. These are platform plans and promotional assertions rather than demonstrated trading results. The text does not explain the mechanism behind zero fees or zero slippage, nor does it quantify liquidity, funding costs, liquidation risk, or how optimistic rollup security assumptions affect users.

Key ideas

  • DeriW is presented as a decentralized perpetual exchange built on an Arbitrum Orbit Layer 3 network.
  • The zero-gas-fee claim could lower transaction costs, but the article does not explain how fees are covered.
  • The platform describes self-custodied collateral, on-chain trading, and a bug bounty as security features.
  • A Pendulum AMM is claimed to offer zero slippage, but the article provides no liquidity analysis or supporting results.
  • The API, custom pairs, and mainnet timing are roadmap items rather than established capabilities in the account.
