What is IDEX crypto and why is it rising?
Idex is a hybrid liquidity decentralized exchange (DEX) that functions as an order book and an automated market maker (AMM). It claims to be the first to combine the features of a traditional order book with the security and liquidity of the automated market maker.
It brought a unique approach to the decentralized exchange (DEX) functions by combining the off-chain trading engine with the on-chain trade settlement, which provides users various benefits.
