The problem

Most traders optimize entries and ignore total cost

Verus models the full life cycle of a position so execution decisions are based on what you keep, not just where you enter.

Fragmented liquidity

Dozens of perps venues, each with different fees, slippage, and funding rates.

No best execution

In TradFi, best execution is law. In DeFi perps, it doesn't exist.

Hidden costs

Entry price is just the beginning. Funding rates, exit slippage, and withdrawal fees add up fast.

How it works

Three moves to better execution

01

Specify your trade

Asset, size, leverage, order type.

02

We analyze every venue

Real-time orderbook depth, fees, funding rates, slippage across Hyperliquid, Lighter, Orderly, and more.

03

Execute at lowest total cost

Routed to the venue with the best all-in execution price, backed by historical confidence scoring.

Total cost, not just entry price

Agentic Trading

API native execution for agents and bots

Trust model

Delegate execution without key exposure

Agents receive scoped tokens. Signing stays inside a secure enclave. You can revoke access instantly with one API call.

01

Create an agent

Give it a name and permissions. Get back a single API token.

02

Connect all venues

One call sets up Hyperliquid, Lighter, and Orderly. No key management.

03

Trade with one API

Quote, execute, and manage positions across every venue through a unified endpoint.

No single party can compromise funds. Keys never leave the enclave.

Zero key management

Agents hold an opaque token, never private keys. Wallet keys live in a secure enclave and are never exposed.

Instant revocation

Revoke an agent immediately with no waiting for key rotation or cooldown periods.

Scoped permissions

Grant agents only what they need, read, trade, or withdraw, nothing more.

Same smart routing

Agents get the same cost-optimized routing across all venues as human traders.
