Vertex will be built on Arbitrum - an Ethereum L2. Arbitrum is an 'optimistic rollup' that improves Ethereum's scalability, offering faster transactions and lower fees while still providing the security of Ethereum. Same Ethereum quality: better user experience. Whether or not Ethereum is safe is up to you to determine. Remember to always use best practices while dealing with crypto.

Assets available as spot markets will be available as collateral options on Vertex. This means that you can hold and earn interest on your favorite assets while using them to secure your trading activities. As we grow new options will become available.

Vertex is built with an integrated money market at it's core. When you deposit assets into the protocol, other traders can borrow those assets to take leverage. Lenders are secured through over-collateralized smart-contracts.

TLDR: your assets are SAFE and EARN MORE on Vertex
