# Welcome to World Markets!

### Trade Perps, Spot, and Lending fully on-chain.

On World, every dollar works harder. Universal margin gives you more leverage and more yield than any other exchange.

World is deployed fully on-chain. It is non-custodial. The contracts are immutable and non-upgradable - except during Beta, the contracts will be upgradable. The front end UI communicates directly with the blockchain. There is no backend server. Trading is permissionless. World processes orders at \~10ms block times and near free gas costs, leveraging MegaETH's real time performance.

### Professional Traders

For professional traders, we recommend first reading [ATLAS - World's Risk Engine](/tl-dr-unique-features/atlas.md) and [The Capital Sink](/tl-dr-unique-features/the-capital-sink.md) to understand the value proposition, and then jumping to [Details](/details/atlas-math-risk-based-valuation.md) to see the implementation details.

### Beta

Trade at your own risk; we do not guarantee any functionality. The code is very new and very complex and prone to errors and security risks. World's documentation is written on a best effort basis. Only deposit what you are willing to lose entirely.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.world.inc/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
