Access the world’s first DEX focused on token based commodities trading. Accessible 24/7 with tight trading spreads, low margin requirements and unique hedge instruments that ensure you don’t get liquidated prior to settlement dates.
Users who provide liquidity to Mettalex’s DEX autonomous market makers will get rewards in both trading fees and MTLX governance tokens.
Through the Mettalex DEX, crypto traders will get access to traditional and crypto commodities markets unavailable anywhere else in the DeFi space. A plethora of assymetric opportunities will be at your disposal for a fraction of the spot price.
Participants in the commodities supply chain will be able to use the Mettalex DEX to acquire cost and capital-efficient hedging tool. The risk associated with each long or short position is fully quantified.
Access to traditional markets with minimal friction on taking positions and reduced requirements for margin. We combine the convenience of tokens with market sizes of the commodities world.
Advanced mathematics ensures that all Mettalex markets are fully collateralized. Even more efficient mathematical operations will be introduced with the incorporation of Fetch.ai technology.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
