Why Use Alphanaut – The Infrastructure Powering Your Trading Edge

Trading Infrastructure

Orderbook Design

Alphanaut DEX employs a hybrid orderbook model that combines the best features of centralized and decentralized exchanges. This ensures high-performance, low-latency trading with full transparency and self-custody of funds. All orders are settled and stored on the blockchain, offering numerous benefits:

  • Transparency: All orders are visible on-chain, reducing the risk of market manipulation.

  • Security: Blockchain settlements ensure data immutability and security.

  • Efficiency: High-performance matching engine for quick and efficient order execution.

  • Self-Custody: Users maintain full control over their funds, ensuring solvency and reducing trust assumptions.

Omnichain Approach

Our platform supports an omnichain orderbook by splitting the stack into three main components:

  1. Asset Layer (Asset Vaults): Resides on each supported chain, handling user interactions for registration, deposit, and withdrawal.

  2. Settlement Layer (Layer 2): Functions as a transaction ledger, storing transaction and user data, and settling orders on-chain periodically.

  3. Engine Layer (Orderbook): Manages order execution, including the matching engine and risk management.

This design allows for chain-agnostic trading, unifying liquidity across different chains without the need for bridging funds.

MEV Protection

To safeguard users from Miner Extractable Value (MEV) attacks, Alphanaut DEX includes features such as:

  • Fast Matching: Quick order matching reduces the risk of front-running.

  • Batching: Grouping transactions before submission minimizes MEV risks.

  • On-Chain Settlement: Ensures all trades are settled on-chain, providing additional protection against MEV.
