Breakthrough in Decentralized Trading: AFX Launches Sovereign Layer 1

The era of compromised trade execution due to blockchain congestion is over, thanks to AFX, a sovereign Layer 1 purpose-built for decentralized derivatives trading. This new platform provides an optimized execution environment for on-chain perp DEXes, engineered for demanding participants. With AFX, users can experience the non-custodial transparency of a Perp DEX combined with the speed and depth of institutional-grade centralized entities.
AFX supports a high-liquidity suite of perpetual markets across digital and traditional macro assets, including BTC, ETH, Gold, and Crude Oil, with up to 40x leverage. The platform’s custom-built execution layer, powered by DAG-based consensus and ABCI modular architecture, achieves a specialized environment where execution is decoupled from consensus. This results in a dedicated mempool optimized for high-frequency order flow and protocol-level MEV resistance, allowing for a 100ms median latency and a capacity exceeding 100,000 transactions per second.

Key Features and Benefits
- Zero Gas execution model, removing network fees and allowing data-driven discipline to dictate market success
- Pro-Trader Suite, featuring a Hyper-Efficiency Margin Engine with a mere 1.25% maintenance margin and native support for real-time re-utilization of unrealized profits
- Native FIX protocol support, providing a seamless gateway to decentralized liquidity for Tier-1 quantitative firms
AFX is redefining the social contract of decentralized finance through a community-first economic model, with a 100% Revenue Pass-through model that directs the entirety of the network’s generated value back to the ecosystem’s contributors and traders. This commitment to sovereignty and transparency makes AFX an attractive option for those seeking a professional-grade Perp DEX environment.
