Venues

A venue is a perpetual-futures exchange that Verus can route to. Verus does not ask you to pick one. It compares the full cost of your trade across the eligible venues and routes to the cheapest. See Best execution.

Verus routes across two kinds of venue. Most are central limit order books (CLOBs), which are usually the most liquid markets. Verus also routes to pool-based perps, which price against an oracle and a liquidity pool rather than a book. Including both means a wider set of markets (including some real-world assets) and more chances to find the cheapest fill.

Turning a venue off

You can disable any venue for your account under Account -> Venues. A disabled venue is left out of routing and takes no new deposits. Closing positions and withdrawing always keep working on a disabled venue, so turning one off never traps funds there.
