What is Digital Assets Exchange (DAEX)?

DAEX is an open and decentralized clearing and settlement ecosystem for cryptocurrency exchanges.

The rapid development of cryptocurrency trading calls for a more effective and secure clearing service. After a
series of hacker thefts and security incidents, many exchanges have to come to the consensus that a common clearing
and asset custodian service is required to protect and guarantee the sustained growth of the market.
DAEX is therefore the answer to this market need.

DAEX is an open and decentralized clearing ecosystem for cryptocurrencies and a bridge that connects cryptocurrency
trading exchanges. It also serves as a reliable custodian of mutiple crypto assets. Clearing and settlement rules are
 preprogrammed into clearing smart contracts on the DAEX Clearing Chain (also referred to as "clearing chain"). The clearing process is automatic without
third party interference. The objectivity of clearing is guaranteed by the consensus mechanism on the clearing chain.
Customers’ digital assets are registered and stored on the clearing chain. No other institutions or
individuals can access these assets without the owner’ s permission.

Trading and clearing will be separated. Current centralized exchanges will continue to provide trading services.
The clearing work will be handled by a common clearing service based on the DAEX solution. Different from current
centralized clearing services, the DAEX clearing service is based on distributed ledger technology. The distributed
ledger technology guarantees that trades are correctly and safely cleared and settled. By using distributed ledger
technology, traders' assets are kept in their own accounts on the blockchain. No one else can access traders’ assets
without their permissions. This effectively removes the asset ownership risks that exist in current centralized exchanges. The DAEX
solution will be an open sourced clearing service based on a public blockchain. It's code is open for public inspection
and supervision.


DAEX ecosystem

The DAEX ecosystem is composed of a clearing service that is based on distributed ledger technology, centralized
exchanges and user wallets. Traders use their wallets to perform trades on exchanges.
After trades are matched at exchanges, they are sent to the clearing service provided by DAEX. The clearing-as-a-service (CaaS) is performed by
smart contracts and distributed ledger technology. DAEX will provide clearing services for cryptocurrencies and
cryptocurrency derivatives traded on exchanges.
