PROJECT OVERVIEW

  • Product: , a CFD (Contract for Difference) trading platform that utilizes the BSV blockchain for various functionalities, including immutably recording trade parameters and enabling instant settlements.

  • Industry: Web3 Trading / Fintech

  • Geographic Reach: Global (excluding US-based retail users due to regulatory restrictions)

  • BSV Integration Start Date: Circa 2020

BUSINESS CHALLENGE

Traditional Web3 trading platforms, such as dYdX and GMX, are limited to crypto-only markets and avoid regulatory compliance by decentralising core infrastructure like price feeds. This creates a fragmented user experience, with limited access to global financial markets. DXS identified a major inefficiency in the Web3 space: the inability to trade mainstream instruments like Forex, stocks, indices, and commodities alongside crypto in a secure, efficient, and transparent way.

Existing platforms were also burdened by order book models, high slippage, and unpredictable fees. There was a need for a compliant, open, and cost-effective platform that maintained user custody and provided an auditable trail for every trade.

WHY BSV

BSV was chosen as the foundational infrastructure due to:

  • High transaction throughput suitable for logging thousands of micro-trades per second.

  • Stable and scalable protocol that supports long-term business continuity.

  • Ultra-low transaction fees, critical for micro-trading incentives and bounty systems.

  • Immutable public ledger, allowing DXS to store trade receipts in a fully transparent and verifiable manner.

  • Compared to blockchains like Ethereum or Solana, which are subject to high congestion or frequent protocol changes, BSV offers a dependable foundation with superior data handling capabilities for enterprise use.

SOLUTION ARCHITECTURE

DXS uses BSV to:

  • Log trade parameters immutably on-chain, including asset, price, margin, and leverage.

  • Enable Web3 wallet integration (e.g., MetaMask, Trust Wallet) for non-custodial trading.

  • Crowdfund liquidity pools using a nonprofit structure that protects against losses and funds trading activity transparently.

  • Settle contracts via smart logic, ensuring all trade data is verifiable and tamper-proof.

  • The system bypasses the need for an order book by routing trades against a liquidity pool, achieving near-zero slippage and consistent pricing.

IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS

Over the span of three years, DXS:

  • Launched in beta with controlled market access and cautious volume caps to minimise risk.

  • Gradually expanded to include over 200 global markets, supporting 1.1 million trades and $4.3 billion in volume.

  • Integrated BSV for backend settlement and receipt verification.

  • Built out wallet support and an intuitive UI that enables users to trade in less than 60 seconds.

  • Introduced a bounty system for user acquisition, offering free trade credits and referral rewards logged on-chain.

OUTCOMES & BUSINESS IMPACT

  • Increased market accessibility: Users can now trade traditional and crypto markets from a single platform.

  • Revenue generation: With ~1,000 active users averaging 34 trades/month, DXS achieved $22 average monthly revenue per user and a $750 customer lifetime value.

  • Risk mitigation: Non-custodial architecture prevents centralised exchange-style losses.

  • Operational transparency: All trades are recorded immutably, enhancing user trust and auditability.

  • Enhanced growth potential: With proof of revenue and platform maturity, DXS is scaling customer acquisition via tokenised incentives.

CHALLENGES & MITIGATIONS

  • Market risks: Initially, DXS limited trade size and market exposure to mitigate smart contract or integration risks.

  • Regulatory compliance: DXS registered a brokerage in St. Vincent and the Grenadines and performs AML/KYC and sanctions screening for legal access to global users.

  • Oracle trust: Rather than decentralising price feeds (which complicates regulation), DXS embraced a centralised model and leveraged BSV’s auditability to maintain price feed integrity transparently.

FUTURE VISION

  • Scale user acquisition through high-reward bounties, referrals, and paid trading incentives.

  • Expand market offerings to include options and perpetual futures where legally viable.

  • Explore additional BSV features, such as micropayment-based trading strategies and further smart contract enhancements.

  • Strengthen licensing position for expansion into European and other regulated markets.

TESTIMONIAL HIGHLIGHTS

“On DXS, you can open a $1 Amazon trade with 10x leverage using just $0.10—and it’s logged immutably on-chain. That’s the power of BSV as a foundational layer.” — Angus Adams, Analytics Advisor at DXS (paraphrased)

“Unlike dYdX, we don’t avoid regulation—we embrace it. We log every trade on-chain so there's no dispute, no opacity.” — Angus Adams, COO at DXS (paraphrased)
