Automated Setup

Block DX enables completely decentralized trading by facilitating trades directly from the wallets already installed on your computer. Previously, there were manual steps that were required to connect and configure Block DX with your wallets, but now a configuration wizard automates the entire process. Setup has been reduced to just a few clicks and allows you to begin trading in a matter of minutes.

Automated Setup

Place Order by Price

Users can now easily create orders on Block DX by using a token’s price, rather than having to specify the amount of tokens they are offering and the tokens they are bidding on. This delivers the familiar experience of placing an order on an exchange, where a user may buy or sell a given number of tokens at a price they specify.
