Volmex Perpetual Futures Testnet Launches on Coinbase-Backed Base Network

The Volmex Perpetual Futures Exchange Protocol is underpinned by a decentralized matching engine and order book that is maintained by an independent set of off-chain relayers or relayer nodes. Orders are propagated and matched between relayers using peer-to-peer communication, removing the need for a centralized intermediary.

"The launch of the Volmex perpetual futures exchange public testnet on Base is one of the biggest milestones yet for Volmex. Perpetual future contracts on the BVIV and EVIV Indices bring an unrivaled user experience to trading the best-in-class BVIV and EVIV Indices, enabling crypto investors and traders to hedge, diversify, and/or speculate on crypto volatility." -Cole Kennelly, Founder & CEO at Volmex Labs.

Volmex perpetual futures achieve an intuitive user experience that resembles aspects of leading centralized perpetual futures offerings, though with all of the guarantees of DeFi systems and smart contracts: real-time auditability, permissionless, composability, and more. In the coming weeks, the Volmex perpetual futures public testnet will expand to additional Ethereum Layer 2 networks, such as Arbitrum, with additionally supported stablecoin collaterals, such as USDT.
