The SOST DEX is a non-custodial, cross-chain exchange built on the SOST protocol. There is no pooled custody and no order-book operator holding funds: trades settle as atomic swaps and offers are cryptographically signed by the party that makes them. The DEX never holds a seed or a private key — it only requests addresses and signatures from your own wallet.
How it works
Live · #16,000
Atomic-swap HTLC settlement. Each trade locks both legs in Hash-Time-Locked Contracts. The protocol is designed so that a party cannot successfully claim one leg without revealing the information required to claim the other; if settlement does not complete within the timelocks, the refund paths become available — so no counterparty can take one side and leave the other stranded. The SOST-side HTLC primitive has been live on-chain since block #16,000.
Signed offers
Signed-offer orderbook. Offers are discovered off-chain, each signed with a nonce and an expiry and validated bilaterally before anyone funds an HTLC. Placing or cancelling an offer never moves funds on its own; funds move only when you approve an HTLC reservation.

The SOST-layer DEX (atomic-swap settlement + signed-offer orderbook) activates at block #30,000, but even after activation it stays admin-gated at consensus under S14 RESTRICTED DEVELOPER MODE with public access disabled. There is no public trading today. No real prices, orders, liquidity or executable quotes are shown or implied. Not an offer, solicitation or invitation to trade.
Operational interface
Trading, placing signed offers and RFQ are operational actions — they run in the authenticated dashboard and are enforced by the consensus admin gate (S14). Public trading is disabled.
Native SOST ⇄ BTC / EVM atomic swap against a real counterparty quote.
Trade
Market and signed limit orders filled against firm counterparty quotes.
Orders
Active signed offers and order history, matched bilaterally off-chain.
Activity
Atomic-swap lifecycle tracked as real two-chain state, never instant.
The public interface remains informational. The authenticated dashboard is a controlled developer interface — real execution remains restricted and public trading is disabled. No real prices, orders, liquidity or executable quotes are shown or implied here.
