Comdex’s Ecosystem

Comdex is a decentralized synthetics exchange built to democratize finance by reducing the complexities and regulatory hurdles to access investments in financial assets with intrinsic value.

Due to censorship, limited worldwide accessibility, liquidity limits, and high transaction costs, investors today do not have access to a diverse range of asset classes. DeFi has ushered in a slew of new products that improve investors’ access to a wide range of financial products on public ledgers. The technology that enables digital representations of financial assets to be recorded and traded on immutable blockchain ledgers is at the heart of this trend. The use of a digital asset token allows for worldwide accessibility, increased liquidity, and lower transaction costs. While DeFi gives crypto investors easier access to a wider range of financial services, investment options are still limited to on-chain assets. Few technologies can connect crypto-assets to real-world financial assets, allowing capital to flow from the DeFi to CeFi ecosystems (centralized finance).

Comdex mainnet is launching on November 20th, 2021

Introducing Comdex

Comdex is a decentralized synthetics exchange that aims to democratize finance by making it easier to invest in financial assets with intrinsic value by removing the complexities and legal barriers. Users can use the Comdex protocol, which is based on Cosmos, to leverage and collateralize their assets in order to gain exposure to a variety of inflation-resistant synthetic assets. In a low-interest rate, high-inflationary environment, investors may be “long” on their crypto holdings while also diversifying into other asset classes that provide compelling risk/reward profiles.

A Fully Interoperable
Synthetics Protocol

The Comdex Protocol

The Comdex synthetics exchange makes it easier to create and trade synthetic assets on the blockchain. ‘cAssets’ are minted synthetics on the chain. Each commodity listed on the platform has its own ‘cAsset’ token that may be traded on Comdex’s AMM module, the ‘cSwap.’

The following are some of the platform’s important stakeholders:

  • Traders- Traders are platform users who want to profit from the movement of cAsset prices on cSwap.
  • Minters/Borrowers- Minters are users who create the platform’s initial liquidity for cAssets. To mint cAssets, these users can lock up a range of Cosmos assets. When the user returns the cAsset debt to unlock their locked collaterals, the user’s collateralized debt position (CDP) can be closed.
  • Liquidity Providers- These users intend to earn trading fees and CMDX token incentives by supplying liquidity to liquidity pools on the cSwap in the form of cAsset pairs. For each cAsset offered, users can supply long or short position-based liquidity.

With fewer barriers than typical derivatives markets, this technology can permit the tokenization of real-world assets. Investors nowadays lack the ability to access a diverse range of financial assets due to geographical and regulatory constraints. The creation of synthetic assets allows for a continuous movement of funds between asset classes.

The CMDX Token

The CMDX token is the COMDEX chain’s native token. The chain’s core functions are served by the token:

The CMDX token
  • Rewards: An incentive for early adopters and those performing critical functions of the network by providing liquidity to the cSwap pools.
  • Transaction fees: Fees for on-chain transactions and various platform fees are collected to compensate validators and make network attacks more costly.
  • Governance: Users of Comdex and holders of the CMDX token have the ability to operate and control the platform’s many aspects. Governance also allows for modifications to essential factors like fees, cAsset set, and so on.
  • Stability: To maintain the price pegs strong, the CMDX token will have an algorithmic link with each synthetic asset.

Comdex’s Goal

Comdex lays the groundwork for a future in which the entire lifetime of commodity transactions can be completed in real time and by anybody. The enterprise platform will act as an onramp for commodities trade digitalization, which can then be financed by creating synthetic debt assets, which are subsequently offered to investors via ShipFi.

Comdex incorporates innovation into every solution it creates. Through connections with multiple liquidity protocols, Comdex will enable the development of synthetic debt with yield-generating collateral, which is a key innovation. Users of the platform will be able to earn a yield on their locked collateral assets as a result of this innovation, thereby repaying a portion of the existing synthetic debt over time.
