IntentX

IntentX is a decentralized perpetual futures exchange designed to bring the liquidity and user experience of centralized exchanges (CEXs) to the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. It achieves this through a novel intent-based architecture where traders express their trading intentions, which are then executed by external solver networks. This approach replaces traditional order books and virtual automated market makers (vAMMs), enabling more efficient, scalable, and liquid on-chain derivatives trading. IntentX supports over 315 tradable perpetual pairs with deep liquidity and offers features such as 60x+ leverage, cross-margin accounts, sub-account management, and non-custodial self-custody of assets.

The platform addresses key challenges in DeFi derivatives markets, including fragmented liquidity, high capital requirements, and oracle manipulation risks. Its Just-in-Time (JIT) liquidity provisioning eliminates the need for upfront capital commitments by liquidity providers, resulting in roughly 100 times greater capital efficiency compared to existing vAMM-based derivatives exchanges. IntentX also reduces reliance on oracles by using them only for rare dispute resolutions, enhancing security against price manipulation. Multi-chain deployment is supported without liquidity fragmentation, allowing rapid scaling across blockchains.

IntentX stands out by bridging the gap between centralized and decentralized trading, offering competitive fees lower than many DEXs and CEXs, and delivering a user experience with features like account abstraction, gasless trading, and integrated on/off ramps. Its solver network aggregates liquidity from multiple sources, including CEXs and DEXs, to provide best price execution with minimal slippage. Developers and traders can get started by accessing the platform through its web interface or APIs, with comprehensive documentation available to support integration and usage.
