# Raydium Perps

Raydium Perpetual is a gasless, central limit order book (CLOB) perpetuals protocol offering up to 50× leverage directly from any SPL wallet.

It supports seamless multi-chain deposits—including Ethereum and BNB Chain—while enabling multi-asset margin, so traders can deposit assets like native SOL and use them as collateral to trade.

Powered by [Orderly Network’s infrastructure](https://orderly.network/), Raydium Perpetual delivers a fast, CEX-grade trading experience with advanced tools and revenue-sharing opportunities—without sacrificing self-custody: users retain control of their funds at all times.
