DerivaDEX

DerivaDEX is a decentralized cryptocurrency derivatives exchange for perpetual swaps, governed from day one by the DerivaDAO and its DDX token. It aims to pair the performance and usability of a centralized exchange with the custody and transparency of DeFi, using on-chain settlement, an insurance fund, trade mining, and a checkpointed price feed. DerivaDEX publishes a public REST API (exchange system and market-data endpoints plus protocol/stats aggregations) documented at docs.derivadex.io and exchange.derivadex.com/api-docs, an Authenticated REST API and a Realtime API, an on-chain explorer, and a governance app. Mainnet runs as a limited-access pilot on Ethereum with a public Sepolia testnet, and the exchange is licensed by the Bermuda Monetary Authority. Backed by Polychain Capital.

DerivaDEX publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: Market API, Stats API, and System API. Tagged areas include Company, Defi Derivatives, Cryptocurrency, Derivatives, and Perpetual Swaps.

DerivaDEX’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, signup flow, authentication, sandbox, and 15 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Securities & Market Data regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to upsert.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/derivadex: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
