# Trading Infrastructure of the DEX

The Perpetual Futures DEX is designed to provide a transparent decentralized trading experience across crypto, FX, commodities, and equities. Its hybrid structure combines off-chain order matching for speed with on-chain settlement for trust and transparency.<br>

The DEX uses an off-chain matching engine to process trades in real time. This setup supports various order types, catering to different trading strategies. After matching, trades are settled on-chain using smart contracts, ensuring secure and verifiable transactions.

The platform integrates Pyth’s pull-based oracles to provide reliable, tamper-resistant pricing, helping maintain fair conditions even in volatile markets. It also supports non-USD stable assets like cEUR and cJPY, allowing users to trade in currencies that align with their local economies and reducing dependence on USD-based systems.<br>

Liquidity from the Liquid Staking Protocol is directed into active trading markets, helping to strengthen the platform’s ecosystem. This interconnected approach creates a cycle where increased trading boosts liquidity, benefiting all users and contributing to long-term growth. The Perpetual Futures DEX provides a decentralized trading environment that adapts to the needs of global finance.
