Why List on Polkadex Orderbook?

🆓 Listing is free!

While Polkadex Orderbook is a CEX-like DEX, it does not take after CEXs when it comes to listings. Listings are completely free and listing proposals are voted on by the Polkadex community via governance.

⛑️ Protect your token holders from CEX’s

Free your token holders from the greed, malpractice, and insecurity that plagues centralized exchanges.

📉 Avoid impermanent loss

Unlike Polkadex Orderbook’s central limit order book (CLOB) model, automated market maker (AMM) DEX’s expose liquidity providers to impermanent loss. Thanks to Polkadex Orderbook’s order book and its trading bot integrations, you can (and should) limit your project’s exposure to impermanent loss - thus freeing up funds for better use-cases.

🔑 Stay in control

On Polkadex Orderbook, you control your liquidity at all times.

🤖 Integrate trading bots

Integrate trading bots and bring on your market maker to deploy your liquidity and attract traders to your token’s market pair

💹 Bring Your Own Non-Custodial Market-Maker

Thanks to Polkadex Orderbook’s delegated trading accounts and trade-only keys, you can onboard a market maker to attract traders to your market pair without handing over custody of your funds.

🦎 Show off your market pair on CoinGecko

Polkadex Orderbook is listed as an exchange on CoinGecko, which means your market pair data will be displayed on your token’s page on the leading independent crypto data aggregator and its trading volume will count towards your token’s total trading volume on CoinGecko.
