Phoenix Exchange (N/A)

Phoenix is a next-generation decentralized order book exchange on Solana, delivering unparalleled speed, efficiency, and transparency. Designed for professional and retail traders alike, it enables instant trade execution, deep liquidity, and full asset control in a trustless, non-custodial environment.

Phoenix crypto exchange sets a new standard for DeFi trading with an average block time of just 0.5 seconds, ensuring near-instant confirmations and settlements. Unlike traditional order books on Solana, Phoenix eliminates the need for an asynchronous crank, making transactions more efficient.

• Protocol fees as low as 0.01% per trade
• Network fees of just $0.0002 per transaction
• Fully on-chain order execution for maximum transparency

🔓 True Decentralization & Transparency

Phoenix is built for full transparency and security, with all market events recorded on-chain, allowing users to query live and historical trading data. What’s more, it offers multiple advantages over some centralized competitors, including:

• Non-custodiality: Full user control over assets, with no third-party intermediaries
• Permissionless listings: Any market can be created without admin approval
• Public code architecture: Open-source and publicly auditable

It is developed by Ellipsis Labs, a verifiable finance company focused on high-performance DeFi solutions. The project has raised $23.3M from top-tier investors, including Haun Ventures, Paradigm, Electric Capital, and Anatoly Yakovenko (CEO of Solana Labs).

Ellipsis Labs is also building Atlas, a new Solana L2 blockchain focused on verifiable finance, reinforcing their long-term commitment to decentralized financial infrastructure.

🚀 Phoenix Token
 

While Phoenix hasn’t officially announced a token yet, many similar DEXs, such as Paradex and ZKX,  have launched tokens and rewarded early users through airdrops. Given that Phoenix is a core Solana-based on-chain order book DEX with growing traction, and considering industry patterns, there's strong speculation that a future token may be introduced. That’s why we’ve taken a closer look at the project — early interaction could potentially be rewarded if Phoenix exchange follows the same path.
