World Markets | Complete Guide to the Perp × Spot × Lending Unified DEX on MegaETH

Table of Contents

World Markets (WM) is a non-custodial Everything DEX running on MegaETH. It integrates spot, perpetual futures, and undercollateralized lending into a single cross-margin account called the Everything Account. By using the ATLAS Risk Engine for portfolio-level netting, it achieves a "No ADL (Auto-Deleveraging)" environment and up to 100x better capital efficiency compared to existing DEXs. This article explains the features of World Markets, the Points Program participation steps, token information, and the roadmap.

ChainMegaETH (Ethereum L2, Chain ID 4326)
CategoryEverything DEX (Perps + Spot + Lending Integration)

Base CurrencyUSDM (World Markets Native Stablecoin)
FundingNo VC funding

World Markets is a decentralized exchange built by a team led by Kevin Coons, which saw its public launch on MegaETH on February 18, 2026. The most significant feature is the integration of spot trading, perpetuals, and undercollateralized lending all within the same margin account, the Everything Account. The ATLAS Risk Engine performs portfolio-level netting, recognizing delta-neutral positions (like basis trades) as zero-risk, effectively replicating CEX-level leverage efficiency on-chain. It has been audited by Sherlock #1 and Creed (Sherlock #2 is ongoing), though smart contract upgrade authority remains during the beta period.

Key Features & Strengths

  • Everything Account (Unified Cross-Margin): Manage spot, perps, and lending in a single account, significantly improving capital efficiency.
  • ATLAS Risk Engine (No ADL): Netting at the portfolio level evaluates hedged positions as having zero directional risk. It provides up to 100x the leverage efficiency of existing DEXs and an ADL-free environment.

  • Sub-10ms Blocks on MegaETH: Real-time blockchain performance (10ms blocks) on MegaETH enables CEX-like responsiveness on-chain with near-zero gas fees.
  • $10 Fee Cap per Trade: Maker 5bps / Taker 10bps, with a maximum cap of $10 per trade, offering a substantial discount for large-volume traders.
  • wiTRY (Real World Yield) Integration: Brix-tokenized Turkish Lira MMF-linked wiTRY is listed from Day 1. You can collateralize the ~45% APY (TRY-denominated) yield to borrow USDM.

Token Information

The World Markets native governance/utility token has not yet been issued. The primary currency for trading and margin is the MegaETH-native stablecoin, USDM. The MegaETH native MEGA token is expected to be listed as a perpetual product once MegaETH's launch conditions are met.
