Ranked list

ScoreScore 6.2 out of 10TVL — - 3
Orderly Bridge
Derivatives · Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain +16
Orderly is trading infrastructure for branded perpetual DEXs, not a conventional token bridge or a single exchange. Traders use it through connected apps, so check that app’s fees, markets and terms before connecting a wallet.

Contango V2
Derivatives · Arbitrum, Ethereum, Base +7
Contango V2 automates leveraged positions using DeFi lending markets. It may suit experienced traders, but costs, liquidation risk and contract exposure need careful checking.

MUFEX
Derivatives · BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum +1

Vest Markets
Derivatives · Arbitrum, Ethereum, BNB Chain +4
