> Enable crypto investment for the global masses

SoDEX is a decentralized exchange built on the ValueChain blockchain that supports on-chain order book trading for spot, derivatives, and tokenized real-world assets.

SoDEX is a decentralized exchange targeting traders who need precise order execution without relying on automated market makers. Users can trade spot assets, perpetuals, futures, and tokenized real-world assets through a fully on-chain order book with verifiable settlement. It runs on ValueChain, a purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain designed for high-throughput trading and modular application-chain architecture.

## Products

- [SoDEX](https://thegrid.id/profiles/sodex): SoDEX is an order book decentralized exchange for spot and perpetual trading on ValueChain. Order matching and settlement run on dedicated spot and perpetual appchains, and users keep custody of their assets in self-custody wallets while placing limit, market, stop, take-profit, and stop-loss orders. Tradable instruments include cryptocurrency pairs, tokenized stock index tokens, commodities, and other digital assets. Cross-chain deposits arrive through Mirror Protocol, a bridge built on MPC and TEE infrastructure with custody support for external networks. A liquidity vault deploys deposited index tokens as passive market-making liquidity for a share of trading fees, and the platform also offers a portfolio dashboard, an order book explorer, and SoPoints rewards. (Decentralised Exchange, Live, Main Product)
- [ValueChain](https://thegrid.id/profiles/sodex): ValueChain is a Layer 1 blockchain built for high-throughput financial applications. Its host chain runs consensus and stores several guest chains, including an EVM-compatible system chain that manages account state for all of them and supports standard EVM applications. Application-specific chains, such as the spot and perpetual order book chains powering SoDEX, keep isolated execution environments and pass messages to each other without external bridges. (L1, Live)
- [ValueChain Explorer](https://thegrid.id/profiles/sodex): ValueChain Explorer is a block explorer for the ValueChain Layer 1 blockchain. It lets users look up blocks, transactions, wallet addresses, token transfers, and verified smart contracts, and it shows network statistics such as gas prices and daily transaction counts. Developers can also submit contract source code for verification from the explorer. (Block Explorer, Live, Main Product)
