What is QFEX?

QFEX is a perpetuals exchange on Arbitrum, launched in 2025. It does not run its own token.

The market list is weighted toward single-name equities — the large majority of its active markets — alongside forex, commodities and indices, with fees set by a five-tier schedule that runs across all four asset classes together. Its terms describe standard KYC and anti-money-laundering documentation as something QFEX can require of an account.

Funding settles once an hour as a single payment between long and short positions, built from a time-weighted average of the gap between order-book and index prices over that hour. Funding only accrues while a market's own trading hours are active — outside those hours, including nights and weekends for markets that stay listed but track a closed underlying, the rate sits at exactly zero and no payment changes hands.
