Workflows

Use one portfolio across trading, hedging, and market support.

Market makers quote spot from perps collateral via auto-borrow. Funds hedge diversified portfolios with less idle capital. Issuers launch branded venues on existing liquidity.

Relevant for

Market makers, liquidity providers, and API-driven desks.

Run spot and perps from one capital base

Core mechanics

Unified margin, spot and perps capital sharing, auto-borrow, and active collateral earning yield.

Outcome

One portfolio can back perps exposure, support spot quoting, and stay productive at the same time, subject to margin requirements.

Example workflow

A market maker deposits native assets from multiple chains, quotes spot books without warehousing separate spot inventory, hedges in perps, and keeps the same capital base working instead of splitting it across venues.

Relevant for

Funds, basis desks, sophisticated traders, and future RWA allocators.

Hedge a portfolio instead of a single pair

Core mechanics

Portfolio margin, active collateral earning yield, and the path toward custom hedging instruments.

Outcome

Diversified assets function as one risk-managed system with less idle capital.

Example workflow

A fund deposits a diversified asset base, treats it as one risk-managed collateral system, and hedges the book with fewer moving parts and less dead capital sitting idle between venues.

Relevant for

Market makers, sophisticated funds, whales, and desks whose edge depends on execution quality.

Trade larger size with less signaling

Core mechanics

Protected execution and dark-pool workflows integrated with the lit book.

Outcome

Large or sensitive flow does not have to default to fully public, size-visible order exposure.

Example workflow

A size-sensitive trader or fund routes larger interest through protected execution paths while still accessing the main market, reducing strategy leakage and preserving execution quality.

Relevant for

Hedgers, liquidity providers, funds, and any participant deploying serious size.

Operate on a venue with more credible failure modes

Core mechanics

Open liquidations and stress handling designed to avoid punitive blunt-force responses.

Outcome

Stress handling becomes more transparent and hedge-preserving in volatile conditions.

Example workflow

A hedged desk evaluates how the venue behaves in volatile conditions and gets a more transparent liquidation process plus less punitive stress handling when normal solvency tools are under pressure.

Relevant for

Token issuers, RWA tokenizers, ecosystems, and white-label operators.

Launch a branded market surface without building an exchange

Core mechanics

White-label deployment on shared liquidity with self-listing, co-listing, and fee ownership.

Outcome

Partners launch faster, keep the user relationship, and access existing liquidity instead of starting from zero.

Example workflow

A token issuer or ecosystem launches a branded venue, lists its own markets, sets fees, and gives users direct market access without outsourcing listings and market utility to a third-party exchange.

Built on NEX

NEX, Perps NEX, and the whitelabel network use the same stack.

NEX keeps assets native. Perps NEX delivers the flagship venue for capital efficiency and protected execution. The whitelabel network extends the same stack through shared liquidity.
