Road Town, BVI – AFX, a sovereign Layer 1 purpose-built for decentralized derivatives trading, has officially activated its L1 Mainnet, marking the end of trade execution compromised by general-purpose blockchain congestion.
DAG Consensus & ABC Modular Architecture: Execution Decoupled from Consensus
AFX introduces the Sovereign Trading Layer, a dedicated environment where the non-custodial transparency of a Perp DEX meets the speed and depth of institutional-grade centralized exchanges. The architecture relies on DAG-based consensus and an ABCI modular framework, decoupling execution from consensus entirely. A dedicated mempool optimized for high-frequency order flow and protocol-level MEV resistance ensures median latency of 100ms and throughput exceeding 100,000 TPS.
Zero Gas Model & Multi-Asset Support with Up to 40x Leverage
The zero gas execution model removes network fee friction, allowing data-driven market success. At launch, AFX supports perpetual markets for BTC, ETH, Gold (XAU), and Crude Oil (CL), with leverage up to 40x, maximizing capital efficiency from block one.
Pro-Trader Suite: Institutional Precision with Native FIX Protocol
The Pro-Trader Suite targets the "0.1%" of traders demanding precision. Its Hyper-Efficiency Margin Engine requires only 1.25% maintenance margin, delivering four times the capital efficiency of incumbents, and natively supports real-time re-utilization of unrealized profits. Notably, AFX is the first decentralized derivatives exchange to offer native FIX protocol support, providing Tier-1 quant firms a plug-and-play gateway to decentralized liquidity without extensive code refactoring.
Community-First Economics: No VC, No Private Rounds, 100% Revenue Pass-Through
AFX redefines DeFi's social contract with a community-first economic model. The protocol launched without venture capital, private rounds, or predatory unlock schedules, ensuring network evolution is purely participant-driven. A 100% revenue pass-through model directs all generated value back to ecosystem contributors and traders.
The AFX Mainnet is now live, offering a sanctuary for traders who demand Perp DEX transparency with sovereign L1 precision. Visit: https://app.afx.xyz/trade.
