ApeX Omni is an omnichain perpetuals DEX. One account can fund and trade across Ethereum, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Mantle, Base, and Solana.
The product uses zkLink for its cross-chain account model and StarkEx for execution. It offers order-book perps and up to 100x leverage.
Use ApeX if your assets are spread across several chains and you want one trading account. Its omnichain model can remove manual bridging before a trade.
If your funds already sit on one chain, the extra infrastructure may offer less benefit.
Reported perps fees are about 0.02% maker and 0.05% taker. The integrated spot swap has a separate reported 0.5% fee. Vaults have their own fees.
Check the rate for the exact product before trading. Do not assume the perps fee applies everywhere.
ApeX has operated through several product iterations. ApeX Omni is the current flagship product.
The broader name has history, but the specific omnichain zkLink design is newer than many single-chain order-book systems.
The omnichain model depends on zkLink working across all six supported chains. A bug in that layer could affect more than one chain.
Evaluate the security history of ApeX, zkLink, and StarkEx. Do not assess only the trading interface.
Current information comes from ApeX Protocol’s public documentation and independent coverage of its ApeX Omni product, omnichain architecture, and tokenomics. Independent audit coverage for ApeX’s contracts or the underlying zkLink/StarkEx infrastructure was not verified here. Check current fees, supported chains, and audit status directly on the platform before trading.
Frequently asked
No — that's the core pitch of ApeX Omni's account model. It aggregates liquidity and lets you fund/trade across Ethereum, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Mantle, Base, and Solana through zkLink infrastructure without manually bridging first, unlike a single-chain-only perps DEX.
ApeX Omni is the current flagship product — the omnichain, gasless-execution version built on zkLink and StarkEx infrastructure. References to "ApeX Protocol" generally mean this current product line rather than an older, separate version.
It's used for governance, staking, and VIP fee discounts, with a deflationary mechanism funded by a weekly buyback using 10% of the platform's post-fee revenue — tying token demand to actual trading activity rather than pure emissions.
