Crypto users love decentralized exchanges (DEXes) due to features such as staking, swapping, and yield farming. However, Polkadex offers all these and more, putting it in a class of its own.
Polkadex is a fast, cheap, and secure P2P order-book decentralized exchange. It features its own parachain that enables users to bridge their tokens with Ethereum’s blockchain through the THEA bridge. Polkadex has many tools to help users and DeFi protocols manage their assets better. These tools have attracted prominent names to the network, like
- Acala,
- Subscan,
- Polkastarter, and others.

What’s the latest on Polkadex?
Polkadex has made some remarkable achievements over the last few months. Aside from launching their mainnet, Polkadex already has 3 tokens listed, offering 3 trading pairs.
- PDEX/USDT,
- DOT/USDT,
- ASTR/USDT
ASTR is the first Polkadot parachain project token to be listed on the Polkadex Orderbook. Listing ASTR is no doubt a significant milestone in Polkadex’s evolution. It shows that they can easily list all parachain tokens. This should help grow their position as Polkadot’s leading DEX.
Listing ASTR is also a huge development for DeFi on Polkadot. ASTR is the first Polkadot parachain token to profit from non-custodial high-frequency trading infrastructure. The listing allows both current and future ASTR traders and holders to leverage Polkadex Orderbook’s cutting-edge features.
