Vest fees
Vest charges about 0 bps maker and 0 bps taker (a basis point is 0.01%). As with any perp venue, the funding rate often matters more than the headline fee: it is a recurring payment between longs and shorts that can quietly run for or against your position.

Vest leverage & markets
Vest offers up to 50x leverage across crypto, stocks, forex markets on zkRisk appchain. Higher leverage magnifies both gains and liquidation risk, so size positions carefully. For the most aggressive limits, see the highest-leverage perp DEX ranking.
Is Vest safe and is there KYC?
Vest is non-custodial: your funds stay in your own wallet and you sign each trade, so there is no company holding your balance and typically no KYC. The trade-off is smart-contract and liquidation risk, so prefer venues with a solid track record and verify contracts yourself.
