Why Is Decentralized Margin Trading Better?

{% include svg/minimal-risk.svg %}

Minimal Risk

Whether you’re a lender or borrower, you stay in control of your keys. Never worry about exchanges getting hacked or stealing your funds. bZx smart contracts passed a successful audit by ZK Labs.

Passive Income

Make money with the assets you already hold in your wallet without giving up control of them. Interest rates on margin loans are often much higher than traditional loans while being far safer.

{% include svg/lower-fees.svg %}

Lower Fees

Traders on centralized exchanges pay higher interest rates to compensate lenders for the risk of the exchange getting hacked. Decentralized margin lending makes trading more affordable.

Insured with the bZx guarantee fund

bZx pools loans together in a decentralized clearinghouse. Lenders can lend to a whole pool of people, averaging risk across many borrowers, allowing for a more predictable income stream. All bZx loans are insured with the bZx guarantee fund.

How bZx Margin Trading Works

Long Positions

Taking a long position involves a simple swapping of one asset for another. For example, you could swap DAI for ETH because you think ETH will go up in value faster than DAI.

Try 4x long on fulcrum

{% include dots.html %}

Short Positions

Taking a short position is more complicated. A short position is betting that something will go down over time. Short positions require escrow, leverage, and margin calls.

Try 4x short on fulcrum

Leveraged Positions

Leveraged positions use the same mechanics as short positions, but with leveraged positions you’re able to borrow more than you have. For example, you could go 100x long on Ethereum.

You can easily integrate bZx protocol into your exchange, wallet or web3 app.
