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 on-chain 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.
