Why Choose veX?
veX is purpose-built for financial NFTs — not collectibles, not art, not PFPs. Every feature is designed around trading tokenized DeFi positions: non-custodial listings, multi-protocol support, and flexible payments.
Here's how it compares.
Feature Comparison

Where veX Stands Out
Zap: Pay with Any Token
Most marketplaces limit you to 2–4 payment tokens. veX's Zap feature lets buyers purchase with any token in their wallet — the swap is handled in the same transaction. No need to pre-swap.
Multi-Protocol, Multi-Chain
veX supports 8 protocols across Base, BNB Chain, Linea, and HyperEVM. Compare opportunities across ecosystems and find the best risk/reward — something single-protocol marketplaces can't offer.
Supported: Aerodrome, Hydrex, Thena, Lynex, Apebond, Kittenswap, Hybra, Nest Exchange.
Built for Financial NFTs
General NFT marketplaces treat veNFTs like any other NFT. veX surfaces the data that actually matters — locked value, lock expiry, discount percentage, voting power — so you can make informed decisions.
Lowest Fees
veX charges a dynamic seller fee of 1–2.5% depending on the protocol and competing marketplace rates — competitive with or lower than alternatives, and significantly below general NFT marketplaces (2–5%). Zero buyer fees.
Where Competitors Are Stronger
Vexy
Vexy is purpose-built for Aerodrome and Velodrome. They have features veX doesn't yet:
- Dutch auctions — sellers set a price that decreases over time
- Global offers — buyers can bid on any qualifying veNFT (e.g., "any veAERO at 20% discount"), giving sellers instant liquidity
- Listing aggregation — aggregates veAERO listings from multiple sources
- Deeper Aerodrome liquidity — more active listings and volume on Aerodrome specifically
Choose Vexy if: you only trade Aerodrome/Velodrome and want the deepest single-protocol liquidity.
Choose veX if: you trade across multiple protocols, want Zap flexibility, or need cross-chain access.
HyperWarp
HyperWarp is focused exclusively on HyperEVM protocols (Kittenswap, Hybra, Nest).
- Dutch auctions — available for HyperEVM veNFTs
- HyperEVM-native — purpose-built for the Hyperliquid ecosystem
HyperWarp is early stage with low volume. veX supports the same HyperEVM protocols with additional cross-chain access and competitive fees.
OpenX
OpenX was an early multi-chain veNFT marketplace supporting 5 chains. However, the platform is largely inactive — listings are outdated, several protocol pages are no longer functional, and the app has not been maintained. It's included here for historical context.
Fees
1–2.5% dynamic seller fee on successful sale (varies by protocol). Zero buyer fees. Free to list, update, and delist (gas only).
