[Celeris](https://celeris.exchange/) aims to build an ecosystem-driven Perp DEX around the vibrant Monad culture. It fosters a friendly and distinctive environment through interactive features designed to make the DEX experience engaging and enjoyable for traders, degens, and newcomers alike.

Our vision is to be able to support any financial need a person may have. Celeris currently supports on-chain order book trading (spot, perpetuals, futures), earning via staking and liquidity pools.

## Why Celeris?

#### **Deep Liquidity**

Celeris utilizes liquidity vaults and automated market makers (AMMs) to power its spot and perpetual order books. This provides deep liquidity and helps keep slippage near zero across all markets.

#### **CEX Speed Trading**

Combining the performance of centralized exchanges with the transparency and control of DeFi. Celeris delivers CEX-speed trading powered by the rapid finality of the Monad blockchain.

#### **All-in-One Trading Hub**

Celeris supports a wide range of trading instruments, spot, perpetuals, and more. Deposit once and access everything you need in one place.

#### **Capital Efficient**

Multi-collateral trading (coming soon) will allow lending positions and non-stablecoin assets to be used as margin. Support for long-tail assets will make Celeris the most capital-efficient trading platform on Monad.

#### **True Fairness**

The Celeris trading engine is designed to resist MEV. Trades are matched fairly based on time priority through a single clearing price, ensuring equal treatment for all participants.

#### **True Openness**

Every transaction on Celeris is executed on-chain and is final. Anyone can list tokens or create new markets permissionlessly, embracing the full ethos of decentralized finance.
