Smart infrastructure for a better financial system.
Vega is creating the building blocks for a new financial system to open access, reduce cost, and enable a new wave of financial market innovation.
Be among the first to get invitations, updates and news from Vega.
The future of finance is decentralised
We are building a protocol for the decentralised margin trading of custom financial products. Using Vega, anyone can create products, make markets, and trade.
Borderless, open and safe
Vega is a 100% non-custodial trading platform with decentralised risk management. Margin calculation and risk management are provided automatically by the network, according to open and transparent rules.
Efficient market infrastructure
A completely automated end-to-end trade lifecycle results in a drastically lower cost per trade than incurred by traditional financial markets. Trading fees are distributed to liquidity providers, incentivising them to compete aggressively on price.
Permissionless innovation
Vega's Smart Product Language makes it easy to quickly create tradable financial products. Like the explosion in tokenised assets following the creation of the ERC20 standard, Vega will facilitate a whole ecosystem of new financial applications.
Created by a visionary team of traders and engineers
Our team is relentlessly focused on creating a new financial system that no longer rewards rent-seeking and cartel behaviours. With expertise across finance, trading and blockchain engineering, we are reshaping capital markets to operate democratically and fairly.
