AI agent-powered Price Matching
We will take significant steps to redefine peer-to-peer trading with AI Agent-powered price matching. Unlike the previous public beta version, which required exact trade matches, our AI agents will be smarter and negotiate trades to ensure both parties achieve the best possible outcomes.
Revamped UX
Our key focus for 2025 is transitioning from a developer-centric platform to a user-friendly DEX, making trading seamless and intuitive for all users. This shift will highlight the unique role of AI agents in our DEX, setting Mettalex apart from other decentralized exchanges.
Derivative Markets
We are set to develop and launch options and futures trading, bringing advanced financial instruments to the DeFi space. The rollout will start with a private beta on a single chain, followed by a public beta launch. Initially, the derivatives market will be deployed on one blockchain, with plans for progressive expansion across multiple chains to enhance accessibility and liquidity.
Cross-Chain Trading
Last year, we launched Mettalex in public beta, receiving a great response from our community. The valuable feedback helped us refine and validate our DEX, making it more robust and user-friendly. Our cross-chain trading demo was also met with intense enthusiasm, reinforcing the demand for seamless interoperability.
Building on this momentum, we are set to launch cross-chain trading in private beta. Once validated, this feature will be deployed to the mainnet, unlocking true on-chain interoperability and redefining decentralized trading.
Alpha Launch on Mainnet
Following the progress from our public beta, we are gearing up for the mainnet launch, which will mark a significant milestone for Mettalex. We aim to roll out the platform with cross-chain functionality, initially supporting select tokens across a few blockchains. As we scale, we will progressively expand to additional chains, ensuring seamless interoperability and a frictionless trading experience for all users.
Litepaper Release
We will publish a comprehensive litepaper detailing the unique architecture, AI-driven trading mechanisms, and decentralized agent-based approach that sets Mettalex apart in the DeFAI space. This document will highlight how we reshape peer-to-peer trading with AI agents and cross-chain execution.
LLM Integrations
To enhance user experience, we are integrating MettalexGPT, our AI-powered trading assistant, to enable a chat-driven trading experience. With large language models (LLMs), users can interact with AI in real time by executing trades, analyzing markets, and managing portfolios using natural language commands. This innovation makes DeFi trading more intuitive, user-friendly, and efficient, bridging the gap between AI and decentralized finance.
