The NLX Mission
Imagine a world where Bitcoin isn’t just a store of value, but a powerful engine driving a new financial ecosystem. This is the vision behind NLX, a protocol designed to bring Bitcoin-backed perpetual trading to the Core Blockchain. NLX’s mission is simple yet revolutionary: to empower Bitcoin holders with the tools to put their BTC to work, earning yields and participating in trading markets without ever leaving the Bitcoin ecosystem. By building on-chain perpetual contracts backed by Bitcoin, NLX aims to increase capital efficiency while allowing users to maintain their exposure to BTC. Let’s dive into how NLX makes this vision a reality.Leverage Trading
Users can open up to 200x leveraged long or short positions on many asset classes including Cryptocurrency, Forex, and Commodities. NLX also accepts various Bitcoin synthetic assets as collateral with a correlation based liquidity aggregation model, allowing for flexible position and risk management strategies.Market Making Vaults (NLP)
Users can simply deposit assets into the NLP-BTC vault to become market makers on NLX. NLX offers one of the highest real APR% for LPs in the market paid in $BTC. This is achieved through 3 yield sources:- 60% of the platform revenue from open/close fees and borrow rates are allocated as rewards for liquidity providers in the form of yield paid in BTC.
- NLPs accrue value from all trader losses and liquiditations from acting as constant counterparties to all trades.
- NLX also allocates a significant percentage of esNLX emissions to the LPs as additional incentives.
