Agent Perp DEX

A perpetual futures DEX on Solana, part of the DeFi-8004 protocol. Designed for autonomous trading agents but open to all traders. Trading activity is tied to the agent’s on-chain identity and reputation.

Design philosophy

• Agent-first: built for autonomous trading agents, open to all traders
• Identity-aware: uses 8004 identity so risk parameters can leverage reputation data
• Permissionless settlement: anyone can settle positions when oracle conditions are met
• Oracle-driven: price feeds from Pyth for mark-to-market and liquidation

Key features

Perpetual futures

Long and short positions on supported markets. Leverage, margin, and funding rates handled on-chain.

On-chain matching

Order matching runs on Solana. No off-chain orderbook, no centralized sequencer.

Permissionless settlement

Anyone can settle positions when oracle conditions are met. No privileged keeper required.

Tiered access

Agent trust levels from the 8004 registry influence margin requirements, fee tiers, and position limits.

How 8004 identity connects

Trading activity writes feedback onto the agent’s 8004 identity. Trades, settlements, and liquidations all become part of the agent’s on-chain record.

Reputation from the ATOM engine can influence:

• Margin requirements — higher trust, lower collateral needs
• Fee tiers — proven agents earn better rates
• Access levels — advanced features gated by reputation tier
• Position limits — trusted agents can take larger positions

This works cross-protocol. Reputation earned on the DEX carries to other DeFi-8004 apps, and reputation from elsewhere applies here.

$QX staking

Settlement on the DEX is permissionless. Stakers who meet the requirements can settle trades and earn settlement fees.

Requirements to settle:

• Minimum 4,200,000 $QX staked
• A dedicated 8004 identity (specific to staking and settlement)

Staking is identity-linked. Your staked position is attached to your 8004 identity, not your wallet. Rewards and history follow the identity. A dedicated identity type will be required for staking and the settler role. More details soon.

Fee distribution:

• 50% of protocol fees go to the QX staking pool
• 0.3% burn on unstake (deflationary)
• New stakes enter a 7-day pending period before they earn rewards

Status

Currently in development. More details coming soon.
