Beamex Beta, the newest perpetual DEX, launched in the Moonbase Alpha test environment that allows for more accurate monitoring and issue targeting on the Moonbeam Network.

Beamex, the Moonbeam-based perpetual DEX

Beamex is one of the latest platforms to deliver perpetual crypto trading in a decentralized way and the first to launch on Moonbase Alpha.

Beamex Beta delivers advanced crypto exchange options, both instant swaps and leverage trades, at low fees and zero price impact. The price aggregate is sourced from top-volume exchanges and ensures dynamic pricing that mitigates liquidation risk from temporary wicks.

With features perfected to please even the most demanding traders, it delivers a great user experience with advanced possibilities to grow one’s crypto portfolio.

  • Leverage trading: Beamex supports crypto trading with high leverage and allows users to go long or short on the supported assets simply by connecting their wallets.
  • Low fees: Leverage trading on Beamex incurs a low, 0.1% fee. 30% of the protocol fees are awarded to $SHARE holders and 70% to BLP liquidity providers.
  • Deep liquidity: The liquidity for leverage trading is sourced from a unique, multi-asset liquidity pool.
  • Low liquidation risk, minimal spread, zero price impact: The trading price of supported assets is sourced from the aggregate of top price feeds of major CEXs. This calculates the optimal price, mitigates liquidation risks, and minimizes costs.

Why Beamex Beta on Moonbase Alpha?

Moonbase Alpha is the first TestNet environment of the Moonbeam Network. It serves as a platform for developers and newly released dapps to experiment and release features on Moonbeam in a shared space.

As Moonbeam’s TestNet, it reflects the production configurations of Moonbeam as a parachain on Polkadot and Kusama, not a Substrate development setup.

At this stage, Beamex Beta was released on Moonbase Alpha TestNet in order to thoroughly test all the critical features on Moonbeam before launching on Mainnet.

The experimental environment allows the team to monitor the performance of the Beamex platform, tweak as necessary, and improve the features and functionalities before the official launch.
