In these docs, you can find more information about the architecture, performance, and security properties of Continuum/Fermi Trade. You can also learn more about how to trade on Fermi, how to use programmatic tools/SDK, how to monitor transactions via the block exploer/API, and how to run a full node.

Here is a quick video on how to use the Fermi Trade platform to trade perps. it's currently live on testnet, watch out for announcements of mainnet!

### Explorer

You can view your transaction history, trades, and balances, using the continuum explorer:

### Sequencing/Execution Tabs

Unlike typical explorers, you will find two tabs - sequencing and execution. This is because sequencing and execution are handled by different layers of the stack on Continuum Blockchain.
