We’re excited to welcome Aark Digital, a high-performance perpetual DEX offering up to 1000x leverage, to the Online+ decentralized social ecosystem. Known for its hybrid approach that blends CEX-level liquidity with decentralized infrastructure, Aark will be directly accessible within the Online+ platform, in addition to launching its own community-driven trading hub using the ION Framework.
This partnership brings capital-efficient trading tools, gasless transactions, and community-powered incentives into the heart of Online+, aligning perfectly with ION’s mission to support the next generation of accessible, decentralized finance.
Pushing the Boundaries of On-Chain Trading
Built on Arbitrum, Aark delivers the speed and ease of centralized exchanges while preserving user ownership and transparency. Key innovations include:
- 1000x Isolated Margin Leverage: Trade with unparalleled exposure while containing risk to individual positions.
- Reflective Market Maker (RMM): Mirrors order books from major venues like Binance, ensuring deep liquidity and minimal slippage.
- Cross-Chain Trading: No need for bridges — trade across Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, and more via seamless off-chain execution.
- Gasless UX: From collateral deposits to trading, all actions are gas-free, making the experience ideal for high-frequency and mobile-first traders.
- fUSDC Utility: Earned through platform engagement and VIP rewards, this fee discount token reduces trading costs by up to 50%.
- Lunar Mode: Aark’s ultra-high-leverage playground for traders who want to speculate on niche markets like event-driven indices (e.g., “Trump Perpetuals”).
What This Partnership Means
Through this collaboration, Aark Digital will:
- Integrate into Online+, connecting with a broader ecosystem of DeFi users, traders, and protocol builders.
- Be available as a dApp directly within the Online+ platform, allowing users to seamlessly access its trading and liquidity solutions in-app.
- Launch a dedicated social dApp using the ION Framework, offering a home for Aark’s growing trading community to interact, share strategies, and access insights.
- Enhance visibility and education around leveraged trading and on-chain liquidity via ION’s social-first approach.
By pairing its high-octane financial tools with the social layer of Online+, Aark is making advanced trading more approachable, unlocking new ways for users to learn, engage, and thrive in DeFi.
Building the Future of High-Efficiency DeFi
With over $35 billion in total trading volume and a loyal community of over 30,000 traders, Aark’s arrival on Online+ marks a powerful milestone for both platforms. As Ice Open Network continues to onboard visionary DeFi partners, this collaboration pushes the boundaries of what decentralized trading can look like — high-speed, user-first, and community-owned.
