Spot Trading & Margin Trading

For the initial release, DDEX has conservatively capped the maximum leverage rate at 5x. However, the ecosystem's decentralized margin trading architecture supports leverage rates of over 10x.^[1]

In general, the practical leverage rate depends on the liquidity of the market.

More liquidity= higher potential leverage.

Liquidity & Savings

Another key feature of the DDEX' Exchange is the ability for users to enjoy liquidity with the ecosystem's best spread available on ETH/USDT and WBTC/USDT in DeFi (Decentralized Finance).^[1]

Lending & Borrowing

This is a primary feature that is incorporated within the DDEX cryptocurrency exchange. This feature allows users to accrue interest, and this accruement is based on the following feature:

The interest rates on DDEX are set algorithmically based on price action or supply and demand. Lending and borrowing is done through the use of decentralized lending pools, where lenders pool assets into a smart contract and borrowers take loans from this pool (secured by collateral). ^[3]

As such, these interest rates are dynamic, and fluctuate when supply and demand changes. Each asset will have a unique interest rate for lending and borrowing. If the pool has a large amount of assets deposited with little borrowing, the interest rates will be low. As borrowing demand increases, the interest rates will increase: both the cost for borrowers and the return for lenders. ^[1]

Users are to take note that they cannot borrowed assets outside of DDEX Exchange. The borrowing on DDEX exchange is primarily designed to support margin trading done internally on DDEX. Because the ecosystem keeps the borrowed assets within DDEX, the potential leverage rates on DDEX are higher than if a user were to try and manually take a loan on one platform and use those borrowed assets on another.^[2]
