Toward a million markets…

…and how Paradex is working to get there. Announcing new tokens and updates to our product.

Note: Paradex is currently unavailable to customers based in the U.S., Canada and Japan. Please visit our Twitter for updates.

Our mission is to build an open financial system for the world. At Paradex, we believe that everything that can be tokenized, will be tokenized. We expect there to be millions of tokens that have value to their communities and provide utility in ways not possible before. Tokens will serve many different use cases, and be embedded in a variety of products and user experiences. But while their use cases may be distinct, every token needs a price and thus an accessible market. Or as Coinbase CTO Balaji Srinivasan, would say, “utility is specific, but investment is generic.”

Paradex brings that generic price-discovery functionality to every token — making it easy for anyone to buy or sell any token, whatever its specific use.

Markets are a critical component of any token ecosystem, and it’s Paradex’s goal to build this infrastructure in a way that’s reliable and easy to use — whether you’re a developer seeking liquidity in your dapp or a user looking for a simple way to buy a token you want to use.

After joining Coinbase, we’re happy to be back up and running in many places around the world and are excitedly building out the future of the token economy.

We’ve been hard at work, laying the foundations for Paradex to become a platform that can eventually support millions of markets.

Here’s what we’re been up to:

Market Selector

One of the most consistent pieces of feedback we’ve heard from our traders is how difficult it’s been to move quickly and seamlessly between markets. We’re listening, and we’ve completely redesigned our market selector.

Easily move between Paradex markets

Speed dial

Many traders have a preferred set of markets that they actively watch and regularly use. We’ve added a speed dial to the top of the app to make it easy to see prices and quickly move between markets.
