What is ValueChain?

ValueChain is the infrastructure behind SoDEX — built for performance, scalability, and modular execution. It lays the foundation for a more open, onchain financial ecosystem.

 

Key features:

• High-performance architecture supports global-scale trading with complex matching requirements and high-concurrency systems.
• Containerized blockchain architecture: The MetaChain acts as the host layer, produced by the consensus algorithm. The MetaChain consists of multiple guest-chains including an EVM-compatible system chain (syschain) that manages the general state of ValueChain's system and supports all EVM-compatible dApps, and multiple application chains (appchains). Each maintains the transactions performed by its corresponding dApp. ValueChain has:
  • A perps order-book appchain for SoDEX Perpetuals
  • A spot order-book appchain for SoDEX Spot
  • Future customized appchains — including, but not limited to, RWA, stable-coins, lending protocols, and other emerging financial use cases
• Interoperable guest-chains: Although logically independent, all guest-chain data is colocated within MetaChain blocks. This enables fast, reliable message passing channels within MetaChain to achieve instant interoperability between guest-chains.

 

SoDEX is ValueChain's first application and its initial two subchains - powering the spot and perpetual trading respectively. SoDEX gives us a glimpse of what ValueChain could do and the limitless possibilities.
