Explore how this platform is transforming trading dynamics and offering users a new level of freedom and flexibility in managing their digital assets.

Revolutionary Intent-Based DEX "Raindex" Announced by Flare Network

Flare Network (FLR) announced on April 9, 2024, the release of "Raindex," a new decentralized exchange (DEX) that offers advanced trading features akin to those of centralized exchanges (CEXs).

Introduced as a "revolutionary intent-based DEX," Raindex is described as enabling advanced trading similar to centralized exchanges through a fully decentralized mechanism.

The DEX utilizes "Rainlang," a smart contract language native to DeFi on the EVM, allowing users to design, create, deploy, and manage customized token trading strategies. Currently, the service is accessible by downloading a dedicated desktop app.

How to Use Raindex

The Raindex desktop app can be downloaded from a "dedicated page" and is currently available for computers running macOS 14 (with Linux support coming soon).

*Note: Raindex is still in its early stages of development, and the contracts are unaudited. Users are advised to conduct their research and use the service at their own risk.

Initially, orders will not appear immediately after downloading the desktop app. However, by pasting a specific code into the "Settings" page and clicking "Apply settings," users will see multiple orders and vaults displayed (note that the code is frequently updated, so be cautious).

The code for the Settings page can be found "on this page," which also provides detailed instructions on how to use Raindex.

Raindex allows users to trade cryptocurrencies by specifying desired trading outcomes. For example, one can write code for a trading strategy that sells assets at a set price triggered by the Flare Time Series Oracle (FTSO).

The platform enables the execution of various custom trading strategies. The service is designed to be used with a self-managed wallet, liberating users from manual order placement and market monitoring, as stated in the official announcement.

Flare Network continues its efforts in "FLR Burning" and "FLR Drops," with the "14th FLR Token Distribution" scheduled for today, April 10.
