How to Start on ApeX Omni (2026): Wallet or Email Guide

On the web app or in the ApeX Protocol mobile app, connect a wallet — "A signature request will then appear in your wallet extension to verify ownership of your wallet" — or enter an email, paste the 6-digit confirmation code, and "Click Create Account to complete the signature verification and finish your account registration". No identity document is requested in either flow. The account you get holds several sub-accounts: a Funding Account for deposits and withdrawals, a Perpetual Account "for Perpetual and Prediction contracts", a TradFi Account, and further Spot, Prediction and Event accounts for those products.

"Deposits and withdrawals are only made through the Funding Account." Wallet accounts can deposit on "Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, Mantle, and Arbitrum One"; email accounts on "Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum One, and Mantle". You pay the chain's gas, so "ensure you have enough native chain tokens to cover the gas fee (e.g., ETH for Ethereum, BNB for BNB Chain, MNT for Mantle)". A Multichain Swap in the deposit dialog converts other tokens before depositing. Two other routes exist: a card or Apple Pay / Google Pay deposit through Alchemy Pay in about forty currencies, credited "within one minute" and free of ApeX fees, with KYC waived below 150 USDT a day, 300 a week and 1,000 a month, and a TRON USDT deposit through Halliday at a 0.25% swap fee, between 5 and 10,000 USDT per transaction, with a dynamic address that must never be reused. The deposit guide read on 2026-09-24 states no minimum for wallet deposits.

Funds land in the Funding Account and trade from a sub-account, so use the Transfer feature before ordering: "Perpetual Account – For Perpetual and Prediction contracts" and "TradFi Account – For TradFi contracts". Perps are margined in USDT; USDC, WBTC, WETH, ETH, cmETH, mETH, cbBTC and USDe also count as cross-collateral at haircuts shown in-app, USDC at 99% on the first 5,000,000. The TradFi Account has "its own independent margin pool" and its markets close on weekends and US public holidays.

Open the contract selector, filter by category and choose a market. Leverage is set "per contract before or after opening a position": up to 100x on BTC-USDT and ETH-USDT, 50x on most other perps and on every TradFi contract on the symbols API read on 2026-09-24. Order types are limit, market, conditional market, conditional limit and take-profit / stop-loss, which "function as market orders once triggered" off a Last, Mark or Index price. Limit orders take Good-Till-Time ("the 90 days default expiry"), Fill-or-Kill or Immediate-or-Cancel, plus Post-Only and Reduce-Only flags. Every fill pays the maker or taker rate of your VIP level, from 0.020% and 0.050% at Level 1 — see the fees page — and there is no gas and no cancellation fee.

There is no isolated margin: "a large loss in one position reduces available margin across your entire portfolio". Liquidation triggers when the margin ratio, total maintenance margin over total equity, reaches 100% on mark price; the docs suggest keeping it "below 50–60% under normal conditions". A light indicator on the Positions tab shows your auto-deleveraging rank. To leave, move funds back to the Funding Account and choose a withdrawal: normal, which waits for the next Layer 2 block "typically mined every 4 hours" and deducts gas from the balance, or fast, on Ethereum, Arbitrum or BNB Chain, "almost instant" for 2 USDT on Arbitrum or BNB Chain, or a gas-based fee on Ethereum. Turn on Withdrawal Verification under Settings → Security first. If the venue ever stops processing withdrawals, the docs publish a force-withdrawal route through zkLink's forced exit and a claim on the L1 contract for your chain.
