A decentralized exchange (DEX) is a blockchain-based platform that enables users to trade digital assets directly with one another without the need for centralised intermediaries. Trading activities are managed entirely through smart contracts, which execute transactions based on predetermined rules and maintain full transparency on the blockchain. Users interact with the platform using self-custodial wallets, ensuring they always retain control over their funds. Typically, DEXes operate through liquidity pool smart contracts that utilise an Automated Market Maker (AMM) algorithm, allowing for seamless and efficient token swaps without traditional order books. This design fosters a trustless, secure, and permissionless environment that is accessible to users globally.
A360 DEX enables users to seamlessly transact on the blockchain, engaging with both tokenised Real-World Assets (RWAs) and cryptocurrencies in one compliant environment. Built on a robust blockchain framework, the protocol offers non-custodial, smart contract-based interactions for on-chain asset. While trusted third-party custodians support the tokenization process, all subsequent trading, liquidity provision, and yield generation occur directly through automated, verifiable smart contracts. This hybrid approach leverages the best of traditional finance (CeFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi) technologies, allowing users to hold, swap, and generate yields with enhanced transparency, security, and operational efficiency.
