DPEX is a Derivatives protocol where traders open leveraged, perpetual, or option positions priced off oracle feeds and settled in collateral held by the contract. It is deployed on Polygon. The codebase has been independently audited (2 reports on file).

DPEX is a single-chain protocol, deployed exclusively on Polygon — this concentrates execution risk but simplifies the trust model. Two audit reports are published on DeFiLlama, which is in line with typical practice for protocols at this scale.
