Trade

5DAX DEX is the native marketplace which allows you to exchange digital assets issued and listed on it. The matching happens within the blockchain nodes and all of the transactions are recorded on-chain, therefore forming a complete, auditable ledger of activity. The following commands are available for trading:

Place Order

You could place a new order with the following command on testnet:

$ eth-cli dex order  --symbol ZEBRA-16D_NT  --side 1 --price 1000000 --qty 1000 --from guest --chain-id 5DAX-Chain-Ganges --node=data-seed-pre-2-s1.5dax.com:80 -t gte

You will be able to place order on mainnet by replaceing chain-id and node.

Example on mainnet:

$ eth-cli dex order  --symbol ZEBRA-16D_NT  --side 1 --price 1000000 --qty 1000 --from guest  --chain-id 5DAX-Chain-Tigris   --node  https://dataseed5.defibit.io:443  -t gte

For side, you need to put 1 as buy or 2 as sell.

Please note that the quantity should be rounded to lotSize. Otherwise your order could be invalid. The returned output is the following:
