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 Notional trading volume Methodology

## 1. Overview

Notional trading volume measures the total value of derivative contracts executed on edgeX Perps. Since users pay trading fees on each trade, this metric tends to correlate with the project's ability to generate fees and revenue. The volume data is captured across different deployment venues of the protocol to provide a comprehensive view of trading activity.

## 2. Data sources

- **Off-chain API data**: Daily trading volume and trade count reported by the edgeX public REST API, covering StarkEx and EdgeChain

## 3. Step-by-step calculation

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

- **Purpose**: Ingest and clean raw daily trading data from edgeX API endpoints
- **Logic**: Daily trading volume and trade count are ingested from the edgeX public REST API for both V1 (deployed on StarkEx) and V2 (deployed on EdgeChain) venues. To handle duplicate records, the latest ingested record for each day and venue is selected based on the insertion timestamp, with ties resolved by selecting the record with the highest trading volume and trade count.
- **Key fields**: `day_timestamp`, `trading_volume_usd`, `trade_count`, `inserted_at`

### Component B: Product mapping and volume aggregation

- **Purpose**: Map trading volume to the edgeX Perps product and aggregate by day
- **Logic**: The deduplicated trading volume is mapped to the edgeX Perps product. Volume values, already denominated in USD, are cast to a high-precision numeric format and aggregated by day, venue, and chain.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp`, `chain_id`, `product_id`, `trading_volume_usd`

### Component C: Validation and normalization

- **Purpose**: Ensure data integrity and apply zero-filling
- **Logic**: The aggregated daily volumes are validated against active chain and project identifiers. Missing days in the time series are filled with zero values to ensure a continuous daily record of trading activity.
- **Key fields**: `timestamp`, `chain_id`, `product_id`, `notional_trading_volume`
