How we're redefining perpetuals.

What problem does Aperture solve?

Aperture addresses the challenge of fragmented liquidity in the perpetuals market. Traditionally, liquidity for perpetuals trading is spread across multiple exchanges, market makers, and blockchain networks, leading to inefficiencies, higher slippage, and less favorable trade execution. Traders often have to navigate between different platforms to find the best liquidity, which can be time-consuming and costly.

Aperture solves this problem by aggregating liquidity from various sources into a single, unified platform. This ensures that traders have access to deep and consistent liquidity, regardless of the exchange or network they are on. By centralizing liquidity, Aperture reduces slippage, improves trade execution, and makes it easier for traders to access the best prices across a wide range of assets. This solution enhances the overall efficiency and reliability of perpetuals trading, benefiting both retail and institutional traders.

How does Aperture work?

Aperture aggregation layer leverages cross-chain messaging and escrows to combine liquidity across multiple exchanges, market makers, and blockchains, working to find optimal prices across chains while operating on Base and thus offering the benefits of L2.

The Aperture Listing Engine also allows users to create tranches of Liquidity for any asset across any range of prices (similar to UniswapV3) to provide high capital efficiency to market makers, improving price efficiency and expanding the range of markets available.
