inDEX we trust.

A comprehensive list of decentralized exchanges (DEX).

This is a list of decentralized exchanges of cryptographic assets (cryptocurrencies, tokens, derivatives, futures…) and their protocols, without a central entity. The architecture of these and their protocols can be quite different from one another. In some cases, they are built projects entirely open source. In other cases, they are closed in some aspects, but still implemented open or decentralized tools or mechanisms like smart contracts that are publicly verifiable. Other projects have chosen to create their own distributed ledger technology (DTL) in order to build a protocol for exchange.

Please, consider contributing and/or donate (I have a really big stomach to maintain. 🍺 🍔 🍩):

PRs Welcome

Many thanks to all the contributors, especially to @amisolution for all their contributions.

DEX GRADE:

It is a complex task, since it not only requires a very specific technical definition, but also requires an exhaustive analysis of each of the exchanges that we include. We are working on it. But all help is welcome. The goal is to get a model like the Creative Commons badges https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/licensing-types-examples/licensing-examples/.

This is just a draft written by Hanni Abu, Steven Hatzakis, Manfred Karrer and Elio Osés:

If you know in details or are you the owner/dev of any DEX, please fill the column with all the codes that correspond creating an issue or pull request to suggest changes to this file.
