As decentralized finance (DeFi) continues to challenge traditional financial infrastructure, derivatives trading has emerged as one of its most advanced frontiers. RabbitX (formerly known as ZKX) is pushing the boundaries of what's possible in decentralized derivatives by building on StarkNet, a high-performance Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum. With RabbitX, traders gain access to a fast, transparent, and non-custodial platform for perpetual futures — all powered by zero-knowledge rollups.
RabbitX is a decentralized perpetuals exchange that lets users trade derivative products without relying on a centralized intermediary. Unlike traditional exchanges where users must trust the platform with custody of their assets, RabbitX is fully non-custodial, meaning users maintain complete control of their funds throughout the trading lifecycle.
By leveraging StarkNet, a ZK-rollup Layer 2 network developed by StarkWare, RabbitX offers both scalability and security—key components often missing from earlier DeFi platforms. Traders can benefit from near-instant execution and lower fees, all while enjoying Ethereum-level decentralization and security guarantees.
StarkNet is a next-generation Layer 2 solution that uses zero-knowledge proofs (specifically STARKs) to bundle and verify thousands of transactions off-chain before submitting a single proof to Ethereum. This drastically reduces gas fees and improves transaction speed while maintaining the integrity and trustlessness of Layer 1.
RabbitX’s integration with StarkNet enables:
RabbitX specializes in perpetual swaps, which allow traders to speculate on asset prices with leverage and no expiration date. This makes it a powerful tool for those looking to hedge, speculate, or enhance their trading strategies.
Unlike AMM-based DEXs, RabbitX employs a hybrid order book model. This combines the speed of centralized systems with the trustlessness of DeFi, offering a better trading experience with tighter spreads and deeper liquidity.
Users never give up control of their private keys or assets. Trades are executed through smart contracts, and all margin and settlement occur transparently on-chain.
RabbitX offers cross-margin accounts, enabling users to manage their risk more effectively by sharing collateral across positions, reducing the likelihood of forced liquidations.
Anyone with a Web3 wallet can access RabbitX and start trading without KYC barriers or centralized gatekeepers.
RabbitX envisions a financial system where anyone in the world can access advanced financial products without relying on banks or brokers. By combining the security of Ethereum, the scalability of StarkNet, and the power of decentralized finance, RabbitX is building the foundation for a permissionless global derivatives market.
As traditional finance grapples with transparency and access issues, RabbitX offers a powerful alternative: a decentralized, secure, and scalable derivatives platform built for the future. For traders looking to go beyond spot markets and experience next-generation DeFi derivatives, RabbitX on StarkNet represents one of the most exciting developments in the space.
