IDEX (ticker: IDEX) is the token of IDEX, a hybrid decentralized exchange best known for being one of the first platforms to combine the speed of centralized order matching with the security of on-chain settlement. In simple terms, it's the utility token of a trading platform where users keep control of their funds while still getting a fast, order-book trading experience. The coin has a hard cap of 1,000,000,000 and is mineable.
Frequently asked questions
What is IDEX and how is it different from other exchange tokens?
IDEX is the native token of the IDEX exchange, a hybrid DEX that processes trades off-chain for speed but settles them on-chain for security. Unlike many exchange tokens that exist purely for fee discounts, IDEX was designed around a trading model that predates most automated market makers. It's also mineable, which is unusual for an exchange token.
How does the IDEX network work?
The token operates on a Proof-of-Work consensus mechanism, meaning new coins can be mined by contributing computational power. The IDEX exchange itself uses a hybrid architecture: an off-chain engine matches orders instantly, while the blockchain records and finalizes every transaction. This split lets traders avoid gas wars and failed transactions common on fully on-chain exchanges.
How is IDEX issuance structured?
IDEX has a hard cap of 1,000,000,000 coins, so no more than that will ever exist. Because the token is mineable, supply is released gradually through mining rather than all at once. The fixed cap makes the total supply fully transparent from day one.
How can you store and use IDEX?
Since IDEX is a token, it can be held in any compatible wallet — hardware wallets and popular non-custodial options are the safest bet for long-term storage. On the exchange itself, the token is used within the platform's trading and staking ecosystem. Always double-check the official site (idex.market) for the current contract address before making any transfers.
