Alcor Exchange

Alcor Exchange is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform built primarily on the WAX blockchain, designed to provide a comprehensive suite of trading and liquidity tools. It combines an order book decentralized exchange (DEX) with yield-based liquidity pools, limit and market trading, NFT marketplace capabilities, and cross-chain bridging. The platform supports multiple blockchains including EOS, WAX, Telos, and UX Network, with bridges connecting to Solana, Polygon, Ethereum, and BNB Chain. This multi-chain approach enables users to trade tokens, manage liquidity, stake assets, and interact with NFTs all within a unified interface.

Alcor’s core features include advanced order book spot markets, bulk over-the-counter (OTC) trading, automated market maker (AMM) swaps with pair creation, and yield farming through liquidity pools. It also offers staking options for WAX tokens to earn rewards and interest. The platform’s NFT marketplace allows users to trade, explore, and create NFTs, integrating DeFi and NFT functionalities. Cross-chain bridges facilitate asset transfers between supported blockchains, enhancing interoperability and liquidity access.

What sets Alcor apart is its modular “lego” design philosophy, enabling rapid integration of DeFi components and multi-chain support. Unlike many DEXs that rely solely on AMM models, Alcor provides order book trading for more precise limit orders and bulk OTC trades, appealing to advanced traders. Its extensive bridging options and NFT marketplace integration further differentiate it as a versatile DeFi hub. Developers can leverage Alcor’s open API and SDKs to build custom tools or integrate with the platform’s liquidity and trading infrastructure.

To get started, users connect a compatible wallet (such as WAX Cloud Wallet or others supporting the chains) and can immediately access spot markets, liquidity pools, farms, and NFT features. Developers can explore the comprehensive documentation and API at docs.alcor.exchange to integrate or extend functionality. The platform maintains active community channels on Telegram, Discord, and Twitter for support and updates.
