What MYX does

MYX is a Singapore-based decentralized derivatives protocol that operates a permissionless perpetual futures exchange for any asset from day one. Founded in 2023, the platform serves crypto traders, DeFi users, and liquidity providers via a self-serve web application (app.myx.finance) with no KYC requirement. The primary user segments are crypto traders seeking leveraged perpetual exposure on long-tail assets and liquidity providers seeking yield-bearing positions without impermanent loss.

The protocol's flagship MYX V2 product is built around a modular derivatives settlement engine designed to prevent liquidity fragmentation across chains. Its technical foundation combines account abstraction standards (EIP-4337 and EIP-7702) with Chainlink's permissionless oracle stack, and uses a dual-vault hedging mechanism that the company claims eliminates impermanent loss for liquidity providers. Beyond core trading, MYX offers Earn Vaults (liquid market making), Trench high-yield pools, Stable Vaults for stablecoin yield, a Dashboard for analytics, a 20% referral rebate program, a "Cook" yield-strategy feature, and a "Create Market" tool enabling permissionless perpetual market creation on any asset.

MYX generates revenue primarily through trading fees on perpetual swap transactions and yield captured on stablecoin deposits in its vaults. The go-to-market motion is product-led and community-driven, distributing through the self-serve web app, X, Discord, Medium, Gitbook documentation, and ecosystem events such as the Four.meme AI Sprint co-organized with BNB Chain. The company is privately held and backed by Consensys (largest investor since February 2026), alongside Hack VC, OKX Ventures, Redpoint, GSR, HashKey Capital, Foresight Ventures, Cypher Capital, HSG, Lecca Ventures, and Leland Ventures, with a leadership team anchored by founder and CEO Mark Zhang.

Direct peers

• dYdX: dYdX is the largest decentralized perpetual futures exchange, operating its own appchain with order book-based perps. It is the most direct competitor to MYX in the on-chain derivatives DEX category, competing for the same trader liquidity and long-tail asset listings.
• GMX: GMX is a leading spot-and-perps DEX on Arbitrum and Avalanche using a GLP liquidity vault model. MYX directly competes with GMX's zero-IL positioning and targets the same crypto-native derivatives trader segment, with a comparable LP-side value proposition.
• Hyperliquid: Hyperliquid operates a high-performance on-chain order book perps DEX on its own L1. It is one of the fastest-growing perps DEXs by volume and competes directly with MYX for active derivatives traders seeking leverage on long-tail assets.
• Perpetual Protocol: Perpetual Protocol is an early DeFi perpetuals exchange using a virtual AMM (vAMM) design. It pioneered on-chain perps alongside dYdX and addresses the same target market of retail and professional crypto traders as MYX.
• Synthetix: Synthetix is a derivatives liquidity protocol on Ethereum and Optimism offering synthetic assets and perps via its v3 architecture. It provides the underlying liquidity layer that competitors like Kwenta consume, and is structurally comparable to MYX's omnichain settlement ambitions.
• Jupiter Perps: Jupiter Perps is the perpetual futures product of the dominant Solana DEX aggregator Jupiter. It offers leveraged perps to Solana's massive retail user base and competes with MYX for cross-chain derivatives trader mindshare.
• Drift Protocol: Drift is a leading Solana-native perps and spot DEX offering up to 20x leverage. It serves the same derivatives trading use case as MYX and represents a strong chain-specific competitor for liquidity and volume.
• Gains Network: Gains Network operates gTrade, a decentralized leveraged trading platform supporting perps on crypto and synthetic stocks/forex. It targets the same leverage-seeking retail trader segment as MYX with comparable self-custody and self-serve distribution.

Emerging players

• Kwenta: Kwenta is the primary frontend on top of Synthetix v3 for trading perpetual futures. It is comparable to MYX as a perps DEX consumer-facing application, though it relies on Synthetix liquidity rather than operating its own settlement engine.
• ApeX Protocol: ApeX Protocol is a non-custodial order book perps DEX on Arbitrum and other chains. It is comparable to MYX as a permissionless derivatives venue targeting professional and pro-retail traders seeking order-book execution on-chain.
