Fragmented liquidity is a common problem in the world of decentralized exchanges, particularly for perpetual swaps. In fact, a whopping 72% of the $1.45Billion Total Value Locked (TVL) in derivative protocols is concentrated in just two platforms: GMX and DYDX. This leaves the remaining 28% of liquidity to be spread out across 85 other perp DEX protocols. This leads to issues such as slippage, poor trade execution, and price impact, especially for high leverage, large orders.

Tide Exchange, is an omnichain protocol designed to address fragmented liquidity for perpetual swaps. Built on LayerZero for interoperability, Tide offers a decentralized and scalable trading platform with optimized trading costs, deep liquidity, and up to 150x leverage.

The Tide DEX platform offers leveraged trading and a perp DEX aggregator, all on a decentralized platform. Connecting a $1.2Trillion market supporting currently, Arbitrum, AVAX, BASE, BNBChain, Optimism and soon ZKSync & Polygon.
