What is ST0x?

ST0x is a decentralized exchange (DEX) enabling 24/7 trading of tokenized real-world equities such as Apple, Tesla, and ETFs on-chain. It bridges traditional finance and DeFi.

How does ST0x work?

ST0x operates using a dual-entity structure:

• S1 Issuer GmbH issues tokenized equities.
• SarkX BVI Ltd manages the decentralized matching and execution engine.

Users place intent-based orders on-chain, executed via solvers when matched with liquidity.

What assets can I trade on ST0x?

Tokenized public equities, ETFs, and potentially other real-world assets (RWAs). Each token is backed 1:1 by shares held with a regulated broker such as Charles Schwab.

How is liquidity handled?

Liquidity is demand-driven. Arbitrageurs create or redeem tokens via the Core Bridge, aligning prices between off-chain markets and on-chain tokens.

Is ST0x custodial?

No. ST0x is non-custodial. Users maintain control of their assets in smart contract vaults. Custody of underlying equities is separately managed by S1 via a regulated broker.

Is ST0x regulated?

ST0x is structured to avoid exchange or brokerage licensing by:

• Keeping matching logic decentralized.
• Utilizing separate regulated issuers.
• Requiring KYC/KYB only during token issuance, not secondary trading.

How do I access ST0x?

Connect your DeFi wallet (e.g., MetaMask, WalletConnect). Regional restrictions apply at token issuance.

Are there trading fees?

Yes. Fees include trading fees, gas costs, and potential withdrawal fees, structured transparently.
