About Vest

Vest: v. confer or bestow (power, authority, property, etc.) on someone.

Welcome to Vest

Vest is a fully trustless perpetual futures exchange with provably consistent liquidity. By combining zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) with a vertically integrated risk engine, Vest eliminates hidden costs associated with unstable liquidity and market manipulation.

Unlike traditional orderbook exchanges where traders risk facing predatory strategies from sophisticated actors, every trade on Vest executes against a single liquidity pool, priced by zkRisk.

What is zkRisk?

zkRisk is Vest’s transparent, risk-based pricing engine. It continuously monitors individual positions, account exposures, and system-wide risk. As market conditions shift, zkRisk dynamically adjusts pricing with a single objective: minimizing risk—not maximizing profit.

By aligning incentives and unifying pricing, zkRisk:

• Prevents predatory trading behavior

• Ensures stable, predictable liquidity

• Reduces hidden trading costs

Traders pay a transparent premium tied directly to the risk they introduce—creating a fair, cost-efficient trading environment over the long term.

The Future of Vest

Vest’s zero-knowledge architecture unlocks scalability far beyond conventional orderbook exchanges. ZKPs ensure a provably trustless trading environment without exposing traders to MEV, as no sensitive order information is leaked.

By bypassing slow consensus algorithms and leveraging proofs in the style of zero-knowledge rollups, Vest achieves near-instant order-to-execution latency while maintaining full decentralization.

The perpetual futures exchange is just the beginning. The endgame is to rebuild the entire traditional financial stack on a trustless, composable foundation—where risk is explicit and trading is truly trustless
