General
"To tackle tomorrow's problems today"... that was a train of thought of the developers when they started Stakenet DEX. Because every blockchain will reach its limit at some point. Therefore, offchain solutions such as the Lightning Network for Bitcoin is set, which also exists for Litecoin and Stakenet. With this, the coins can be exchanged across blockchain without waiting time and at very low costs. For Ethereum, BSC & their tokens, the Connext Network is used to establish these cross-connections.

Stakenet’s vision: Part V — The Stakenet DEX
Roadmap for the decentralization of DEX

Process:
- Gaia: Currently we are in this phase. This means that the DEX is only running on individual servers. Access is limited to the team and members of the closed beta.
- Prometheus: In this phase, the DEX is accessible to all. First in the status "Open Beta", later as a release. The Hydra Smart Chain (HSC) is also implemented in this phase. This is needed so that the DEX can run on the individual master nodes. This will happen in the beginning with a few selected parties/persons.
- Hydra: The last step is to extend the entire DEX network so that each master node can operate as a DEX hub.
Open Beta
Soon is here - Open Beta
Get your Desktop-Version:
It is recommended to use the link from stakenet.io, as it is always up to date.
Trading Limits: The current limits for opening channels and trading are as follows:
- A maximum channel capacity limit of $500 per channel.
- A maximum trade limit of $100 per trade.
WebDEX
The web version of DEX will only contain ETH and some ERC-20 tokens in the first release. You won't have to download any software for this and this version will also work on mobile devices.
The advantage of the Stakenet-Web-DEX compared to the well-known online versions is the shorter execution time and the very low network fees. There will only be 0.3% trading fees.
