edgeX is a high-performance decentralized perpetual futures and spot trading platform incubated by Amber Group, combining an off-chain matching engine with on-chain settlement. Its original venue ran on StarkEx zero-knowledge rollups and wound down in August 2026. edgeX V2 is a full rebuild on EDGE Chain, an application-specific Arbitrum rollup that settles to Ethereum, using Circle's CCTP for native USDC deposits and reaching a peak throughput of 300,000 orders per second at sub-100 millisecond order latency.

# edgeX Fees Methodology

## 1. Overview

The total trading fees paid by users to trade on edgeX Perps are measured by Fees. The total economic value generated by the protocol's perpetual trading venues is represented by this metric. Fees are collected across different deployment versions, including V1 on StarkEx and V2 on Edgechain, and are reported directly in USD.

## 2. Data sources

- **Off-chain API data**: Daily fee metrics reported by the edgeX public REST API, covering StarkEx and Edgechain

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

### Component A: Off-chain data extraction and deduplication

- **Purpose**: Extract raw daily fee data from the edgeX public REST API for each venue
- **Logic**: Daily fee values are ingested from the edgeX public REST API for V1 (StarkEx) and V2 (Edgechain). To ensure data integrity, duplicate records for the same day and venue are resolved by prioritizing the most recently inserted data points.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp` (timing), `fee` (fee quantities in USD), `venue` (deployment version), `chain_id` (blockchain identifier)

### Component B: Product mapping and chain validation

- **Purpose**: Map fees to the correct product and validate chain identifiers
- **Logic**: Collected fees are mapped to the edgeX Perps product. Chain identifiers are validated against a list of supported chains to ensure consistency.
- **Key fields**: `product_id` (mapped to edgeX Perps), `chain_id` (validated chain identifier)

### Component C: Aggregation and normalization

- **Purpose**: Aggregate fees and format the final output
- **Logic**: Fees are aggregated by timestamp, chain, and product. Values are cast to high-precision numeric types and missing days are filled with zeros to ensure a continuous daily time series.
- **Key fields**: `fees` (final aggregated fee value in USD)
