What Is DeFinity (DEFX)?
DeFinity(DEFX) is a unique, fully decentralized DeFi exchange that aims to provide a one-stop-destination to trade digital currencies, stablecoins, and traditional Foreign Exchanges (FXs) through smart contracts. The DeFinity seeks to eliminate intermediaries in forex trading and allow direct trading between the price makers and takers. The platform envisions to update and improve the FIX (Financial Information eXchange), an essential protocol that connects the forex industry.
In addition, the DeFinity platform aims to offer real-time agreements and clearing for FX spot trading. Spot trading refers to a transaction where instant payment and delivery of the underlying investment occurs. DeFinity also develops FIX adapters for processing transactional data from liquidity providers and liquidity takers. Basically, the team analyzes the data, performs risk validation, and sends status messages back to the transmitting parties. The purpose is to transfer the data to the DeFinity blockchain for additional processing, including forex rates, currencies, quantity, and parties involved.
According to its whitepaper, the native utility token of the DeFinity is ‘DEFX.’ The DEFX token has three primary use cases: protocol governance, staking and trading, and last, incentives to support the services. The token aims to make the exchange and protocols decentralized by allowing token holders to vote on significant events and decisions about the future of the exchange protocol. Staking and participation fees make the core of the decentralized exchange and protocol. Participants can select from a set of pools and stake their tokens to receive 0.25 percent of the network fees. Token holders can obtain additional rewards such as trading fee reductions and referral benefits for introducing new users.
