OKX DEX offers a borderless, decentralized trading platform with the following qualities:
Security: Secp256k1 elliptic curve algorithm is adopted to provide a highly secure environment for OKX DEX.
Noncustodial: users have full access and control over their assets and wallets.
Order matching: OKX DEX adopts a call auction mechanism, ensuring that a trading pair only has one traded price in a block.
Users enjoy a more seamless trading experience and lower trading fees when trading on OKX DEX. Compared to public blockchains such as Ethereum, DEX focuses on providing a better, dedicated infrastructure for trading DApps and DEXs. This directly leads to lower costs for developers deploying their trading DApps and indirectly leads to lower trading fees for users.
