Cross-Chain
DEX Aggregator

A unified liquidity gateway and execution layer for the multi-chain era.

Connect every chain. Unlock every pool of liquidity.

One Liquidity Gateway for the Multi-Chain Era

CrossDex is a decentralized exchange aggregation protocol for the multi-chain era. Its unified cross-chain liquidity engine aggregates pools across Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism and other major networks, while smart routing and bridge aggregation deliver best-price execution and minimal slippage. The native CDT token — fixed supply of 1 billion — powers governance, fee discounts, liquidity incentives, revenue sharing and bridge subsidies.

Best Price Discovery

Scans pools across chains in real time to compute the globally optimal execution path.

One-Signature Swaps

Complex cross-chain flows compressed into a single user signature — no manual bridging.

Bridge Aggregation

No single point of failure — dynamic scoring selects the safest, cheapest bridge route.

Deflationary Model

Dual-track burns — fee buybacks plus per-trade burning — steadily increase CDT scarcity.

A Fragmented Multi-Chain Landscape

By 2026, the industry runs on a multi-chain equilibrium. Each L1/L2 sustains its own DeFi ecosystem, fragmenting liquidity — the best price on any single chain rarely reflects true market-wide pricing.

Five Structural Pain Points in Cross-Chain Trading

01

Fragmented liquidity

Per-chain pools force large orders to suffer severe slippage with no access to deeper liquidity elsewhere.

02

Operational complexity

Users must manually bridge, swap, then bridge again — juggling protocols, signatures and gas payments.

03

Inefficient price discovery

Traders cannot compare prices across chains in real time and repeatedly miss best execution.

04

Cross-chain security risk

Bridges suffer centralized custody, contract exploits and validator collusion — the trust cost of moving assets is high.

05

Compounding gas costs

Multi-chain workflows mean paying gas several times over; mainnet bridging erodes a meaningful share of returns.

Five Core Modules

Aggregation Engine

Scans multi-chain pools in real time and computes optimal trade routes

Smart Routing Protocol

Multi-hop routing and order-splitting strategies minimize slippage

Bridge Integration Layer

Aggregates multiple bridges and dynamically selects the best route

Unified Trading Interface

Standardized API and front-end that abstract away underlying complexity

Settlement Layer

Atomic cross-chain settlement executed by smart contracts

The Aggregation Engine: A Three-Layer Design

LAYER 01 · DATA

Data Layer

Indexing nodes stream pool depth, fees and prices across Uniswap, PancakeSwap, Curve and more in real time, with Chainlink / CCIP oracles cross-validating prices against manipulation.

LAYER 02 · COMPUTATION

Computation Layer

Off-chain clusters run path-optimization that weighs price, slippage, gas, bridge fees and time, splitting large trades across chains and pools to minimize price impact.

LAYER 03 · EXECUTION

Execution Layer

LayerZero, Axelar and Wormhole coordinate atomic execution; a pre-execution simulator replays every trade off-chain to verify path validity and final proceeds.

Virtual Liquidity Pools: One Signature, Fully Automated

Vault contracts aggregate multi-chain depth into virtual liquidity pools. Swapping Token X on Chain A for Token Y on Chain B:

1

Find the exit path

The engine scans every pool holding Token X on Chain A for the optimal route.

2

Bridge the asset

The highest-scoring bridge transfers the intermediate asset to Chain B.

3

Swap on target

The intermediate asset converts to Token Y via the best route on Chain B.

4

Deliver

Token Y arrives at the user's Chain B address. Done.

1 SIGNATURE — the user signs once on Chain A; every intermediate step runs automatically via smart contracts.

Smart Routing & Best-Price Discovery

Built on an enhanced Dijkstra algorithm with linear programming. Objective: minimize total cost = slippage + gas + bridge fees + time cost.

Small orders

Direct routing

Single path, single DEX execution — lowest cost.

Shallow pairs

Multi-hop routing

Hop across pools via intermediate tokens such as USDC or ETH.

Large orders

Cross-chain split routing

Orders split across chains and executed in parallel to spread price impact.

Non-urgent orders

Time-weighted routing

TWAP execution in tranches further reduces impact.

  • Core team & advisors — 20%4-year lockup, 6.25% unlocked quarterly

Five Core Utilities of CDT

01

Fee discounts

Pay fees in CDT for up to 50% off across holding tiers.

02

Governance

1 CDT = 1 vote on upgrades, fees, listings and fund use.

03

Liquidity mining

Stake CDT and supply pools for rewards — up to 3x boost.

04

Revenue sharing

30% of fees buy back CDT; stakers share proceeds pro rata.

05

Bridge subsidies

Pay bridge fees in CDT for a 20% subsidy.

Dual-Track Deflation: More Volume, More Burns

TRACK 1 · BUYBACK & BURN

Protocol Fee Buyback & Burn

Each month, 20% of trading fees fund open-market buybacks — 50% of repurchased tokens burned outright, 50% replenish the staking pool.

TRACK 2 · TRADE BURNING

Per-Trade Burning

10% of CDT paid as fees is burned on every trade, compounding into a self-reinforcing deflationary loop as volume grows.

8%–12% Projected cumulative burn as a share of total supply in the first three years
Projections are based on a volume-growth model; actual burns depend on real on-chain trading activity.

Every Contribution Earns Its Reward

Liquidity Mining: Dual Rewards + Tiered Lockup Incentives

Base rewards

CDT distributed linearly by share of capital and duration staked.

Bonus rewards

70% of in-pool trading fees go to liquidity providers; 30% accrue to the protocol treasury.

Low

Stablecoin pools

e.g. USDC cross-chain bridged pairs — lower yield, lower risk.

Mid

Major-token pools

e.g. ETH cross-chain bridged pairs — medium yield, medium risk.

High

Long-tail pools

Higher yield and risk, backed by an impermanent-loss insurance fund.

Progressive Decentralization: Three Stages to a Full DAO

STAGE 1

Bootstrap

The core team leads parameter tuning; the community may submit suggestions.

STAGE 2

Transition

Key parameters decided by community vote; the team retains technical upgrade rights.

STAGE 3

Maturity

Full DAO: all major decisions are made by CDT holder vote.

Proposal & Voting Lifecycle

01

Submit

Holders of ≥ 100,000 CDT may propose, posting a 10,000 CDT bond.

02

Debate

A 7-day discussion period with open debate on the community forum.

03

Vote

A 5-day voting window follows; 1 CDT equals 1 vote.

04

Execute

Passes with > 50% approval and ≥ 5% quorum of circulating supply; the Timelock executes after 48 hours.
