Dolomite.io improves decentralized trading speed and security through several key innovations:

Speed Enhancements: Dolomite is deployed on high-throughput, low-gas-fee Layer 2 networks like Arbitrum, Mantle, Polygon zkEVM, and X Layer. These networks enable faster transaction processing while keeping costs low, which minimizes congestion delays typical of Layer 1 blockchains. Additionally, Dolomite’s "Zap" feature streamlines interactions by combining borrowing, trading, and collateralizing assets into a single transaction, further boosting trading efficiency and pricing .

Security Measures: Dolomite operates as a non-custodial platform using Solidity smart contracts which are fully auditable and publicly verifiable on-chain, ensuring transparency and trustlessness. These contracts were forked and improved from the audited dYdX codebase and have undergone multiple audits including by SECBIT. The platform never takes custody of users' funds, reducing the risk of hacks. Price feeds are secured with Chainlink oracles that provide timely and accurate on-chain price updates to prevent manipulation or black swan events .

Modular Architecture: Dolomite's protocol consists of an immutable core layer complemented by flexible module layers that allow adaptability and future upgrades without risking current system stability. This modularity promotes composability and integration with other DeFi protocols, enhancing security through robust and well-isolated contract design .

Dolomite leverages Layer 2 scalability, a solid audited smart contract foundation, and innovative transaction batching to provide fast, secure, and capital-efficient decentralized trading.
