I've been using it, it is only decentralized exchange I use, because it is faster and safer than etherdelta and also there sometimes better bids compared to other exchanges.

You did a great job, this will help newbies to understand how to trade on IDEX

Thank you very much  , i will do it 😍

It's need for newbie

This could be useful for new comers , i remember that it was difficult to understand IDEX when i did my firsg txs there.

I suppose this should be moved to beginners and help section.


Actually not so much, there are some coins with decent volume.
Dont forget about etherdelta and forkdelta, it seems that there is more dumping going on. Since they are more decentralized.

Thanks for share guide but I do not like this exchange, require minium trade amount too big. This exchange born to dump coin by bounty hunter.

I will update more guide soon 🔜

What is IDEX? Transaction guide on IDEX.Market
What is IDEX?

The IDEX is a decentralized trading platform based on the Blockchain platform of Ethereum. Over time, many pairs of token ERC-20 tokens have been brought on the IDEX.

IDEX uses smart contracts that allow users to manage their own private key and assets on a horizontal transactional network.

IDEX allows users to log in via MyEtherWallet, MetaMask or Ledger Nano S similar to the ForkDelta platform.

How does IDEX work?

Different from the trading floor as Binance, Houbi or Bittrex. IDEX does not hold your money but only gives you a smart contract that runs on the blockchain Ethereum to recharge it.

This mode of operation is a little different from the floorDelta (EtherDelta). The use of the old protocol makes the order matching time longer. ForkDelta only has smart save token and ETH. When the transaction occurs, the contract transfers the token / ETh to the other and requires confirmation of the ETH network.

In addition, ForkDelta floor is the order matching order, not from low to high as the floor.

The IDEX will create smart contracts to store tokens and ETH, and IDEX has a transaction protocol as the floor to help confirm the transaction. No need for confirmation of ETH network. And IDEX will match orders from low to high when you place a buy order.
Transaction fees on IDEX

IDEX will charge 0.2% for Market Taker (Holder and Holder) and 0.1% for Market Taker (Buy at current prices).

Selling orders, you do the same as buy orders .
