DeFi Markets

The Mettalex commodity derivatives exchange features markets unavailable anywhere in the DeFi space, including Steel, Iron Ore, Natural Gas, Aluminium, Zinc, Copper, and spreads like BTC/Gold, ETH/Gold, sCEX/sDEFI, and many more.

Perpetual <br/>Liquidity Mining

Perpetual
Liquidity Mining

87.5% of all MTLX tokens will be distributed to liquidity providers (LPs) that supply stablecoin liquidity to Mettalex’s Autonomous Market Makers. That turns Mettalex markets into “perpetual yield farms”. In addition, LPs will also be rewarded with trading fees.

No liquidations

No liquidations

Stakeholders taking hedge positions assuming price hikes or dips will not lose their collateral on the basis of short term price movements. Position tokens remain valid until the date of settlement and recover in value if price recovers unlike a margin based position.

Instant <br/>Settlements

Instant
Settlements

Positions on Mettalex are monitored by an autonomous agent that ensures the market has sufficient liquidity for absorbing your position in the event that you decide to exit.

Crowd-sourced <br/>Collateral Pool

Collateral Pool

Mettalex uses position tokens instead of margin positions offered by conventional trading platforms. These position tokens in turn are backed fully by individuals looking to receive a part of the trading fees from the platform. Adding another layer of stability to the exchange.
