Leading decentralized exchange Vertex Protocol has agreed to join the Ink Foundation, bringing its core infrastructure and team to the Ink ecosystem. The transaction marks a significant milestone for Ink's expanding decentralized finance stack.
The deal will see Vertex cease trading across its current EVM deployments, with plans to launch a new version of the protocol exclusively on Ink. Vertex Protocol operates as a decentralized trading platform known for its high-performance trading architecture and active community.
As part of the transition, the VRTX token will be discontinued. VRTX holders will receive an airdrop of INK tokens at launch, with 1% of the INK supply allocated to Vertex community members. Token holders will also receive enhanced participation in an upcoming INK incentives programme. A snapshot for the airdrop was taken on Tuesday, July 8, with all treasury and non-vested VRTX tokens excluded and burned.

Darius Tabai, CEO and Co-Founder of Vertex, commented:
"This is an incredible moment for the Vertex team and community. As a top decentralized exchange, Vertex has built a strong community. Vertex technology will accelerate the Ink Foundation's goals, provide more opportunity for traders, and represent renewed potential for tokenholders."
Airdrop eligibility and distribution mechanics will be announced at a later date, with the foundation promising to implement industry-best practices for sybil deterrence to limit farming and maximise fairness.
The integration of Vertex's synchronous orderbook engine, perpetuals, and money market stack into Ink represents a significant expansion of the network beyond core infrastructure into application-layer functionality.
The Ink Foundation Board of Directors said:
"Vertex has built one of the most advanced decentralized trading platforms in the space. Bringing what they have built into the Ink ecosystem is a strategic leap forward as we realise the vision for open, onchain capital markets."
The transaction was introduced and advised by Acquire.Fi, a dedicated M&A platform for web3 and decentralized protocols. Ink Foundation was advised by Carey Olsen and Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Vertex Protocol launched in 2023 as a decentralized trading platform combining low-latency orderbooks with unified liquidity for spot, perpetuals, and money markets. Co-founded by Darius Tabai and Alwin Peng, the platform delivers what it describes as CEX-grade performance in a decentralized environment through its hybrid execution model and advanced matching engine.
The Ink Foundation is an independent entity that stewards the Ink Layer-2 and its ecosystem, supporting protocol development, ecosystem growth, and token governance to help realise the vision of open, onchain capital markets.

Few can explain precisely how their volume figures are calculated, how spread revenue is derived, or how multi-currency denominations affect their net profit numbers.

This article explains why accurate brokerage reporting is genuinely complex, what the most common sources of error are, and what brokers can do to get their numbers right.
