Vertex Protocol (VRTX) is a hybrid orderbook-automated market maker (AMM) decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Arbitrum L2 network, launched in April 2023. It integrates cross-margining across spot, perpetuals, and an integrated money market across more than 23 markets. VRTX, the protocol's fungible token, plays multiple roles within the Vertex ecosystem, including staking for protocol security and generating a user score known as voVRTX, which incentivizes security and long-term commitment. The high-performance orderbook of Vertex allows for low-latency order matching, comparable with centralized exchanges (CEXs), while maintaining the non-custodial ethos of DeFi. Vertex Protocol was co-founded by Darius Tabatabai and Alwin Peng, who brought together their respective expertise in trading and development.
Social media activity has played a significant role in influencing VRTX's price. For instance, a recent surge in trading volumes was attributed to increased social media activity, including achieving a new 24-hour trading volume all-time high and surpassing dYdX as the top volume DEX for perpetuals. This increase in volume was partially driven by incentives such as the Arbitrum (ARB) incentives program and Vertex Protocol’s Trade Earn program, which likely contributed to the significanT price upswing. As of November 2023, VRTX saw a 33% increase in price within 24 hours and an 89% increase from its previous low, showing a clear correlation between social media activity, trading volume, and price movement.
