Why NEX
The current CLOB grew quickly and accumulated a lot of technical debt. We’ve made it faster and increased its capacity, but fixing one part can still cause problems elsewhere. We need an exchange we can keep improving as volume grows. NEX rebuilds the matching engine and WebSocket stack so we can address those problems in the core design.NEX is a drop-in replacement for the CLOB API, with no breaking changes. Use
your existing integration with the sandbox configuration and credentials.

Try the Beta
The sandbox runs on Polygon Amoy (80002) with test pUSD and bot-provided
liquidity. Its books are separate from production. This is an early beta, and
we’ll be actively updating it as we fix issues and improve performance. We’re
aiming to release NEX before the end of 2026.
