“We’re excited to unlock the potential of DeFi in the Concordium ecosystem, while being one of the first regulatory-ready DEXes in the market. The Concordex team has been hard at work developing the platform and we’re proud to launch a robust suite of trading tools that will enable our users to trade with ease while allowing liquidity providers to maximize their returns within the ecosystem,” said James Davies, Chief Product Officer at Concordex Labs.
