# What is GVEX?

GVEX (GPUNET Verifiable Exchange) is a native decentralized exchange built directly on GANChain L1, designed to power verifiable trading within the GPUNET ecosystem. Unlike traditional DEXs, GVEX functions as an infrastructure-level marketplace that bridges computational assets with tokenized value.

#### Design Principles

GVEX is built on three core pillars:

**Security**: All transactions execute on-chain through verifiable smart contracts. Users maintain full custody and control over their assets throughout the trading process.

**Transparency**: Every trade, Node exchange, and liquidity movement is visible and auditable in real-time on the blockchain.

**Simplicity**: The platform serves both blockchain newcomers and experienced traders with a frictionless interface that doesn't compromise on verifiability or security.

#### Key Features

* Native GANChain L1 integration with no intermediary dependencies
* Full orderbook functionality with market and limit orders
* NFT trading (Nodes) alongside token pairs
* Instant settlement upon order matching
* No hidden fees or staking requirements
* Open access for all users, not just Node holders
