It re-decides on every order
Each venue is scored against the order in front of it, not against an average. The winner moves with your size, your hold and what the book looks like this minute, so the answer is never cached.
We price your order on Hyperliquid, Lighter, Orderly, GMX and Ostium, then fill it wherever it costs you least.

Venue quotes from the Verus app
01The problem
Fees are the only cost a venue shows you. Four more come out of the same trade.
It isn't a venue, it's a moment. Depth thins, funding flips, fee tiers reset. The venue that was right for your last trade can be the expensive one for this trade, at the same size, an hour later.
In equities, best execution is a legal duty owed to you. In perps it does not exist. Whichever venue you happened to have open is the price you got, and nothing in the interface will ever tell you what you missed.
Entry is one line of five. Funding accrues the whole time you hold, the exit slips again, and moving margin back takes its own cut. By the time you can total it up, you have already paid it.
02How it works
One account, one balance. Verus picks the venue, moves the margin and brings it back.
Asset, size, leverage, how long you expect to hold it. The same ticket you fill in anywhere else.
Book depth at your size, your fee tier, funding across your hold, entry and exit impact. Every venue, before anything is sent.
You see the all-in number first, then it routes. Margin moves to that venue and comes back the moment you close.

05Features
Four things Verus does on every order, and one it will do next.
Each venue is scored against the order in front of it, not against an average. The winner moves with your size, your hold and what the book looks like this minute, so the answer is never cached.
Slippage at your size, your fee tier, funding across the hold, and what it costs to get back out. Priced in front of you, not discovered in your PnL a day later.
Your wallet is sharded across hardware-isolated enclaves at Privy. Verus signs trades under policy and cannot reach your funds, which is a property of the architecture rather than a promise.
Verus never holds your key
Describe the position in a sentence. Verus picks the venue, models the cost and shows you the number before anything is signed.
06API and agents
One endpoint, the same router humans get. Your bot never holds a key, and you can revoke it in one call.

}Token, not key
Agents hold an opaque scoped token. Wallet keys never leave the enclave.
Scoped permissions
Grant read, trade, or withdraw. Each capability is independently revocable.
Instant revoke
Cut access with one API call. No cooldown, no key rotation.
Same routing
Agents trade through the same cost-optimizing router as humans.
Keys never leave the enclave. No party can compromise funds alone.
