Spot and perpetual trading with verifiable execution on Ethereum
Trade crypto derivatives and spot markets with private account data

Paradex is a decentralized exchange for trading perpetual futures, spot assets, and options through a unified account. Its interface brings market data, order placement, and position management into one workspace, while margin settings let traders manage collateral across supported markets. Users can place market, limit, stop, scaled, and time-weighted orders to match different execution needs. Paradex also keeps account balances, positions, and trade details out of public view through authenticated access and encrypted settlement data. Developers can connect trading software through REST and WebSocket APIs or use the Python SDK to build integrations. The platform serves people who want an exchange interface alongside programmatic access, with a separate testnet available for trying workflows before using live markets.
