ApeX Omni Perps is a perpetual-futures order-book exchange settled through zkLink X, with deposit paths on Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, Mantle and Arbitrum. It has operated since 2022 and runs its own token, APEX.
Listed markets span crypto alongside equities, commodities and indices, combining crypto-native perpetuals with tokenized stock and index contracts on one order book. Fee tiers step down with either trading volume or staked APEX, and a separate ladder pays market makers a rebate.
Funding settles once an hour, on the hour in UTC, and only positions still open at that exact moment pay or receive it. The charge is built from the gap between the contract price and an index price, held inside a cap so no single hour moves a position by more than a bounded amount; stock and index perpetuals follow the same hourly clock but stop accruing funding while the underlying market is closed.
