Overview
Atomic is a deposit-free leveraged trading platform on Arbitrum. You don't move collateral into a vault before trading; the wallet you connect is the wallet that pays.
Orders are routed through DEX aggregators (KyberSwap and 0x) and filled across the Arbitrum DEXes those aggregators index.
Connect wallet, sign one transaction, position is live. Atomic never holds your funds.
How Atomic differs
Most on-chain perpetuals look decentralised but behave like a centralised exchange: you deposit into a vault, the vault keeps an internal ledger of who owns what, and you trust it to pay out when you ask. Atomic doesn't do that - the trade itself settles on-chain at the moment you sign.
A few things follow from that:
- Pricing without an oracle. Marks come from on-chain DEX liquidity. No external feed to be paused or manipulated.
- Yield from real activity. Lenders are paid from actual trading fees, not token emissions. See Yield mechanics.
- Lower fees. 20 bps round trip. Most perpetuals run 50–100 bps. See Fees & funding.
- More room before liquidation. A position is closed when 88% of margin has been lost. On Hyperliquid that line is around 60%. See Liquidations.
Track record
Atomic has been running since 2022 with 99%+ uptime and no critical security incidents. Contracts have been audited by Halborn.
