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:
AnteX UI & UX Layer
Omnichain Interoperability Layer
Sovereign L1 – AnteX Chain
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.
