GRVT
PROS
- + Negative maker fees across all tiers, starting at -0.0001% at Level 1 and reaching -0.003% at Level 9 — traders earn rebates for providing liquidity
- + Sub-millisecond execution with up to 600,000 TPS on custom ZKsync Validium appchain, rivaling centralized exchange performance
- + Non-custodial smart account wallet eliminates counterparty risk — all settlements verified onchain via zero-knowledge proofs on Ethereum L1
CONS
- − KYC required via ComplyCube (document verification + biometrics) — unlike most DEXs, anonymous trading is not possible
- − Only USDT as trading collateral — no multi-collateral support with BTC, ETH, or stablecoins like USDC yet
- − Restricted in 9 jurisdictions including the US, Singapore, Hong Kong, Cuba, Iran, and North Korea
Extended
PROS
- + 100+ perpetual markets including cryptocurrencies and TradFi assets (gold, oil, EUR/USD, S&P 500, Nasdaq) — rare among perp DEXes
- + Zero maker fees and just 0.025% taker fees, with maker rebates up to 0.013% based on 30-day market share
- + Up to 100x leverage on major crypto pairs including BTC and ETH, among the highest on Starknet
CONS
- − Restricted in the US, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, and Syria — VPN usage to bypass violates the Terms of Use
- − TVL (~$144M) and liquidity remain lower than leading perp DEXes like Hyperliquid, meaning less depth for large positions
- − Starknet L2 has lower adoption than Ethereum L1 or Solana — fewer integrated dApps and wallets
