AnteX V1 Architecture

AnteX is not merely a dApp, but a sovereign Layer-1 financial blockchain purpose-built for trading and financial applications. Its design goal is to combine CEX-grade performance and user experience with the decentralization, transparency, and self-custody guarantees of blockchain.

AnteX V1 Architecture:

The architecture is structured into four primary layers:

  1. AnteX UI & UX Layer

  2. Omnichain Interoperability Layer

  3. Sovereign L1 – AnteX Chain

  4. OffChain Service (Auxiliary Layer)

AnteX UI & UX Layer

The interface layer ensures a seamless user experience across platforms while exposing developer tools:

  • Mobile App & Web: Unified trading experience for both retail and professional users.

  • Wallets & Social Login: Native wallet integration and social login for smooth onboarding.

  • SDK: Standardized toolkits enabling third-party developers to quickly integrate with the AnteX ecosystem.

Omnichain Interoperability Layer

Cross-chain interoperability is one of AnteX’s defining features. This layer integrates native cross-chain primitives, secured by the AnteX validator network, eliminating the need for third-party bridges.

Supported chains include:

  • EVM Chains (Ethereum, BNB Chain, etc.)

  • Solana (SOL)

  • Tron

  • More chains in the future

This layer enables secure, low-latency asset transfers across chains, effectively removing liquidity silos and creating a unified global market.

Sovereign L1 – AnteX Chain

The core execution layer of AnteX, designed for performance, security, and determinism.

1. Core Modules

  • Account: Multi-chain account and asset management.

  • Order & Match: On-chain order book and matching engine, supporting limit orders, stop-loss, and professional-grade trading strategies.

  • Price & Oracle: Native decentralized oracle network, aggregating multi-source price feeds from staked validators for mark price, funding rate, and liquidation logic.

  • Listing & Govern: Asset listing and protocol parameter updates driven by on-chain governance.

2. Consensus & Execution

  • Optimized HotStuff BFT:

    • Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus with linear communication complexity.

    • BLS threshold signatures compress validator signatures into constant size, reducing bandwidth overhead.

    • Millisecond-level finality via optimized two-chain commit rule.

  • Validator Network (PoS/AVS): Proof-of-Stake validator network, enhanced by Actively Validated Services (AVS), ensuring Ethereum-grade economic security.

  • Parallel Execution Engine:

    • Conflict-aware scheduling based on state access lists.

    • Optimistic concurrency with rollback for conflicting transactions.

    • Achieves tens of thousands of TPS, supporting global-scale trading workloads.

OffChain Service (Auxiliary Layer)

The OffChain Service functions as an auxiliary infrastructure layer, providing support utilities but not handling core trading or settlement logic.

Modules include:

  • Indexer: Data indexing and query optimization for front-end applications.

  • Quote: Market snapshots and price aggregation.

  • Relayer: Auxiliary relaying for cross-chain interactions.

  • Settle: Offloading certain non-critical settlement tasks.

Note: All critical functions such as custody, matching, and settlement remain on-chain, ensuring security and determinism are never compromised.

Key Advantages

Developer & Ecosystem

  • Developer SDK / API: Standardized integration for third-party applications.

  • Ecosystem dApps: Open infrastructure enabling DeFi apps like lending, derivatives, and index funds.

  • Open Governance / DAO: Protocol governance and upgrades managed by the community.

Performance & Liquidity

  • Cross-Chain Primitives: Built-in omnichain interoperability without external bridges.

  • ms-Level Latency: Sub-second order confirmation for CEX-like responsiveness.

  • Antex Liquidity Pool (ALP): Unified liquidity pool for both spot and perpetuals, reducing slippage and enabling passive yield.

Security & Trust

  • User Custody: Assets always stored in user-controlled wallets, signed with private keys.

  • Full Transparency: Open-source code and fully auditable ledger states.

  • On-chain Order Book & Matching Engine: Matching executed deterministically by all validators, eliminating centralization risk.

  • Native Oracle Network: Validator-staked oracles providing tamper-resistant aggregated pricing.

  • Forced Withdrawal Protocol: A built-in escape hatch allowing users to withdraw directly from the protocol in extreme scenarios.
