Aark Digital is a perpetual DEX on Arbitrum — 1000x leverage across 25+ trading pairs, an industry low 0.01% trading fee, zero gas fees, and Payback on Loss through VIP rewards. No KYC. Stock & RWA perpetuals coming soon. Backed by Delphi Digital and HashKey Capital.
Our Story
Why We Built Aark
True 1000x leverage trading existed only on centralized exchanges. On-chain liquidity couldn't support it. Aark changed that with a hybrid pricing engine that mirrors real-time CEX orderbook data, delivering minimal slippage across 25+ trading pairs with zero gas fees and an industry low 0.01% fee.
We built the fee structure around traders, not the platform: no closing fee on losing trades, and automatic Payback on Loss for VIP users. No KYC. Stock & RWA perpetuals on the roadmap.
The On-Chain Thesis
We believed CEX-level execution (deep liquidity, minimal slippage, real-time pricing) was achievable on-chain. Proving that belief is what Aark was built to do.
Trader-First Economics
No closing fee on losing trades. And for active traders, a portion of losses comes back through Payback on Loss via the VIP Program. We give back where most platforms don't.
Infrastructure, Not Interface
Aark's B2B SaaS layer lets partners brand and distribute the engine without building it. We focused on what we're best at — the trading infrastructure beneath the surface.
Decentralization Without Trade-offs
Non-custodial, no KYC, no gas friction. We refused to compromise on DeFi's core properties to achieve CEX-level performance — the two don't have to be mutually exclusive.
