FAQ

Can I deploy a Solidity contract?

Not today. Vordium runs native VordCore execution and EVM execution is off. Read-only eth_* JSON-RPC exists for tooling compatibility, but there is no contract deployment or contract call. See Deploy a Contract for the roadmap material.

Is there a faucet?

No. faucet.vordium.com is decommissioned. Fund an account by bridging USDC from Arbitrum — see the Bridge guide.

What is the maximum leverage?

50x, across all 15 perpetual markets.

How fast is finality?

~22 ms blocks (~45 blocks/sec) with instant single-block finality — a transaction is final the moment 2/3+ validators commit. There are no reorgs and no confirmation count to wait out.

Where does the mark price come from?

A weighted median across eight exchanges — Binance, OKX, Bybit, Coinbase, Kraken, KuCoin, MEXC and Bitget — with Pyth as a separate independent cross-check that sits outside the median. See Oracle.

How does funding work?

Settled hourly, driven by a premium-index TWAP plus a Hyperliquid-standard interest baseline, with the (interest − premium) term clamped to ±0.05% and the rate capped at ±4%. See Perpetuals Trading.

Can a validator halt the chain or take my funds?

No. Validators — including the lead — hold zero admin power. Root authority is a 2-of-3 owner multisig, and every privileged change is publicly queued in a timelock. See Security & Governance.

Do I need an API key?

No. There are no API keys. Reads are public; writes carry an EIP-712 signature. See Authentication.

How long does a session key last?

Up to 30 days, set by whoever creates it. A session key can trade but can never withdraw funds or change caps.

Is the SDK source public?

The package is published on PyPI as vordium. The source repository is private, so there is no public clone URL.

Which pairs are live?

15 perpetual markets, pair_id 1–15: ETH, BTC, BNB, SOL, POL, ARB, OP, AVAX, LINK, UNI, DOGE, XRP, ADA, DOT, SUI.
