About Blockchains

About Polkadex

Polkadex is a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the Polkadot network. It offers high-performance, low-latency trading with a fully decentralized order book. Users can trade assets across different parachains within the Polkadot ecosystem and external blockchains connected via bridges. Polkadex uses L2 scaling solutions for fast, efficient trading and operates on a non-custodial model, allowing users to retain control of their funds at all times.

About Bitcoin

Bitcoin stands as a leading cryptocurrency and payment network, utilizing peer-to-peer technology to operate without central authorities. It embraces global participation as an open-source platform. A notable advancement in Bitcoin is the introduction of ordinals and inscriptions. Launched in January 2023, the Bitcoin ordinals protocol enables the embedding of digital content like art, text, or video directly onto the Bitcoin blockchain. This innovation allows for the creation of exclusive digital collectibles, giving each satoshi a unique identity and purpose, broadening Bitcoin's utility beyond its role as a store of value.
