What Makes Polkadex Different From Other Dex’s?

Published on: 08.05.2021

A mainnet is the official final product of the blockchain project and the realization of the promise made in the whitepaper. In other words, a mainnet launch is the opening of the final product for all users.

 

Polkadex is an application-specific parachain for crypto-to-crypto and crypto-to-fiat asset trading.

Polkadex’s Design focuses on reducing the complexity of the chain. They believe that only those things that need public verifiability need to be on-chain.

In Polkadex, Orderbook, Trader Assets Management, Bridge mechanism to Polkadot and Ethereum, and On-chain market making bots are On-Chain

 

Trading features like market data aggregation, technical analysis indicators, storage and retrieval of trade history, and all the remaining exchange related features are made off-chain.

Polkadex solves the problem of low liquidity by having AMMs directly connected to its trading engine. These AMMs act as On-Chain market making bots. When a trade is not matched against the Polkadex order book, the Polkadex Engine will check if these On-Chain trading bots can make an order that will match

 

According to its roadmap, Polkadex was set to launch its Mainnet, and will undergo a Smart Contract Audit by the month of June 2021

For the 3rd and 4th quarter of the year, Polkadex will be bridging:

  • Parachain Development
  • Polkadot Crowdfunding
  • Parachain Auction

 

Polkadex Orderbook is a non-custodial Layer 2 based orderbook exchange built on top of the Polkadex Network. It keeps the convenience of a centralised exchange but eliminates their bottlenecks by decentralizing the custody of assets.

With Polkadex, the user will not have to worry about a delay in the execution of their orders, or the typical user interface problems characteristic of some DEXs.
